Photo/Video Control
Add a control that captures a photo or video from the Screen user.
Control Description
The Photo/Video control has the following functionality:
Designing the control: While designing the Screen as a Process Designer, select whether a selected Photo/Video control is used to capture a photo or video when the Screen user interacts with that control. Optionally select a custom overlay that displays over the real-time capture area.
Using the control: Based on how the Process Designer configured that Photo/Video control, the Screen user may capture one photo or video directly from a laptop camera or mobile device. While doing so, an overlay image can display over the control to guide the Screen user to frame what the control captures. That user may evaluate in real-time with the control overlay whether the capture is appropriate and adequate quality. For example, the overlay can help frame taking a photograph of oneself or a national ID card to submit for an application process.
Send the captured video or photo to ProcessMaker IDP: After the photo or video is captured, send it to a ProcessMaker IDP folder for processing using a specified document type. Note that prior to the Screen user capturing a photo or video, ensure to configure which ProcessMaker IDP folder(s) the captured photo or video may be sent after capture. You may need to ask your ProcessMaker IDP Administrator for assistance.
This control is only available for Form-type Screens. See Screen Types.
