Converting a Survey to a Sign

After reviewing a completed survey, you can convert it into a sign record in the same event. This creates a new sign with the survey's photos attached as reference documents.

Steps

1. Open a survey that has been reviewed (or is in any non-converted state).
2. Click Convert to Sign.
3. In the conversion dialog:
   • Sign name is pre-filled with the survey name. You can edit it.
   • Select a Sign type from your organisation's sign type library (optional).
   • Add an optional Description.
4. Click Convert.

What gets copied

• All survey photos (both reference and field photos, including annotations) are duplicated into the sign's reference documents.
• Photo files are copied to the signs storage bucket — this creates new storage charges.
• The survey is marked as converted and linked to the new sign.

What doesn't get copied

• Survey comments are not carried over.
• Survey status history is not carried over.
• The contractor assignment is not carried over to the sign.

After conversion

• The survey detail page shows a "Converted to sign" badge with a link to the new sign.
• The sign detail page shows a "Created from survey" badge with a link back to the source survey.
• A survey can only be converted once.
