Adding a Photo to a Visit in the Ankota Caregiver NextGen

Caregivers can now upload photos directly to their visit within the Ankota Caregiver NextGen app. This feature is ideal for capturing images such as updated driver’s licenses, visible bruising, or paper documents.

Please note: Photo uploads are not a substitute for written visit notes. Most administrators still require detailed documentation to be typed in the designated notes section. Contact your administrator to get clarification. 

After reporting their departure, caregivers will be prompted to upload a photo on the signature page. 

The Clock Out screen displays an Errand Miles field set to 0, a signature pad area with the prompt "Please ask your client to sign here:" showing two handwritten signatures, and action buttons including Clear, Accept, and Show pad at the bottom, along with Add Photo and Submit buttons.

After tapping the “Add Photo” button, you’ll be prompted to take a photo using your device’s camera.

If you haven’t granted the app permission to access your camera or photos, this feature won’t work. Access is typically requested the first time you log in after downloading the app.

If you missed the prompt, you can either:

  • Go to your device’s Settings and manually enable camera/photo access for the app

  • Or delete and reinstall the app to trigger the permission request again

The "Add Photo" screen displays a placeholder image of mountains and a sun, with a blue "Take Picture" button highlighted by a red border below it. Red instructional text below the button directs users to use it to photograph their sheet and to use the retry button if the picture is unclear.

Take the photo simply by facing the camera to the desired person/document

The "Add Photo" screen displays a dark preview area with a "Loading... Please Wait" dialog box centered on the screen, along with instructions in red text at the bottom directing users to use the bottom button to take a picture of their timesheet and the retry button if the image is unclear.

This screenshot will send to the visit once departure is completed, as seen below.

The Documents dialog for Visit 73617444-cd03c715 displays a table with one uploaded document named "photo-1" (a Visit Document dated 9/2/2025 with status "Reviewed"). The dialog includes a Date search field, Search and Upload buttons, checkboxes for Show Signatures and Show Drafts, and an "Unlock documents" button.
