FAQs and Limitations

  1. Can I share a View-Only Link (link that does not require sign in) for the Field Note Report?
    No. Sharing the "Latest Report Link" requires users to sign in to DroneDeploy to view the report.
  2. Can I generate Field Note Reports for multiple date ranges or media types?
    No. The Field Note Report is generated for one media group at a time. It does not group by date. 

  3. How are my Field Notes ordered? 
    Individual field notes in the report are grouped alphabetically by type, rather than numerical order.
  4. Why are the numbers in my report out of order?
    When you delete an issue, the numbering does not change. This is designed so that the numbering stays unique for better tracking. For example, the report may appear out of order with field notes 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, when field notes 2 and 6 are deleted.
  5. Why does the Interior overlay not appear on the Field Note Report?
    Field Note Reports do not support Interior overlays, such as floor plan drawings. The field note report will show a satellite-based map or a blank screen for interior reports. 
  6. Why are my field notes not showing in the Field Note Report?
    Field Notes created on panorama images from a handheld 360 camera are not supported. Field Notes on Facade plans require a specific workflow. Please review the steps in Facade Inspections under Facade Inspection: Creating Field Notes for a Field Note Report for more details. 

    If your field note was created on a different media type, please contact support@dronedeploy.com
