An [[company/evidence|evidence]] capture link is a one-time link an adviser or manager sends out when they need a specific photo or short video taken on the farm - typically by a contractor, staff member or visiting agronomist. You don't need a [[company/farmwalk|Farmwalk]] login to use one.
What it does
Capture links are scoped to a single piece of [[company/evidence|evidence]]. The page you open shows what is being asked for and a mobile-friendly capture interface. Photos taken or uploaded here go straight to the farm's [[company/evidence|evidence]] library.
Possible states
When you open the link you'll see one of four states:
Pending - ready to use; take or upload your photos
Completed - someone has already submitted; no further action needed
Expired - too much time has passed; ask the sender for a new link
Cancelled - the request was withdrawn
Using the capture interface
Tap the camera button to take a photo, or use the picker to choose existing photos
Add as many photos as the request allows
Review the previews to make sure the subject is clearly visible
Tap Submit - a counter shows how many files were uploaded
What happens next
The submitted files appear in the farm's [[company/evidence|evidence]] pipeline. The sender is notified and can approve, request changes, or link the photos to scheme requirements. The capture link then moves to the Completed state.
Tips
Use a real camera shot rather than a screenshot - metadata such as time and location are useful for compliance
If you only have one chance to capture (e.g. a contractor visit), upload before leaving site
No login means no recovery - if the upload fails, ask the sender for a new link rather than retrying hours later
