# Work checklists and visit photos

Scheduling · Web and mobile · 2 min read · updated August 15, 2026

**Every visit created from a quote carries a printable checklist of the rooms, the exact tasks the customer accepted and the property’s access notes — plus up to 25 before-and-after photos, taken from the phone.**

## The work checklist

Every visit created from a quote carries a worksheet, ready to print or read
from a phone. It contains:

- **The access notes** — the lockbox code, where to park, that the golden
  retriever is crated during visits.
- **The rooms**, and within each one **the exact tasks the customer accepted**,
  with their times.
- **Your crew notes** — the ones written on the quote's tasks that the customer
  never sees.

This is what makes a quote and a clean the same object rather than two documents
that drift apart. The cleaner is working from what the customer agreed to, not
from a general idea of what a deep clean involves.

On a plan with [AI assists](/docs/ai-assists), the work order can also carry a
short "before you arrive" briefing drafted from the job's own details — which
you edit or discard like every other draft.

## Before-and-after photos

Up to **25 photos** can be attached to any visit: proof of the deep clean, the
state of the oven, the scratch that was already there before anyone arrived.

The camera is on the phone, so the photos start there. On the visit screen you
can take one with the camera or pick several at once from the library, and they
attach to the visit the office already sees — the same record, not a second
place to look.

Three details are deliberate:

- **A limited number can wait on the phone when the signal drops.** They remain
  saved after you leave the visit screen or reopen the app, and BlastoClean
  retries automatically when a connection returns. One failed upload does not
  abandon the rest, and a retry does not attach the same photo twice.
- **A waiting copy stays until the upload is confirmed or you remove it.** If a
  visit cannot accept a photo, the app keeps it listed and offers Retry and
  Remove. This temporary phone storage is bounded so customer-property photos
  do not grow into an unlimited cache outside your server retention settings.
- **Photos are read back through your session**, never from a public URL. There
  is no address for one of these that would be safe to hand to something that
  does not know who is asking.

## Recording how long it really took

Completing a visit asks for the actual minutes. It takes five seconds and it is
the number that tunes every future quote — it drives the estimated-versus-actual
comparison on [the dashboard](/docs/the-dashboard-and-reports), and the task-time
suggestions described in
[Your room and task library](/docs/your-room-and-task-library).
