Initial Location Capture

The initial geographical location (latitude and longitude) of a record is logged at a specific point in the workflow to ensure accurate spatial context:

On both Android and iOS devices, your location is logged the moment you tap the Record Creation button.
​

Manually Adjusting Record Location

If the automatically captured location is inaccurate or if you need to place the record at a different spot on the map, you can manually modify the location within the record editor.
​

Follow these steps to manually set the location:

  1. Open the Location Editor: From the Record Edit screen, look for and tap the locate icon to open the location editor.

  2. Set the New Location: Drag the map so that the crosshairs are positioned directly over the spot where you want to mark the location.

  3. Confirm the New Location: Tap the Done button in the top bar to save and apply the new, manually set location to the record.
