# Capturing Line Item Images for Estimates and Invoices - Mobile App

> Capture photos directly within Estimate and Invoice line items in the FieldPulse mobile app, with no switching between screens.

# Why We've Released This Feature

Capturing images directly within the Estimate and Invoice Drafts has been a long-standing challenge for users. The traditional method of navigating back and forth between different sections to take photos has proven inefficient and time-consuming. By introducing this feature, we aim to streamline the process, allowing you to:

* **Reduce Clicks**: Eliminate the need to switch between screens, making it easier to build estimates and invoices quickly.

* **Enhance Professionalism**: Provide more comprehensive and visually appealing estimates by associating images directly with your line items.
