Step-by-Step Instructions
Open the Sitemate Mobile App.
Access a template that includes a location table cell field, and create a new form - if you have no templates available, you might need to load up a Sitemate Form link or scan a QR code poster.
Fill out the relevant fields.
In the table with your Location cell, you will see a Capture Location blue button.
Depending on your Location Services settings, you may need to choose how Sitemate uses your location.
Allow Once means you must confirm each time you record a location in a form.
Allow While Using App means you won’t need to confirm again.
If you select Don't Allow, you won’t be able to record your location or use the Location field.
You'll then be directed to a map. Select Confirm in the top right corner.
Here’s how it will appear in your table: it will display the name of the person’s location (who used the Location field), along with the date and time it was captured, GPS coordinates, and a map view. If needed, you can remove the location by clicking the cross in the top right corner of the cell.
This is what you will see when selecting View map.
When opening the form on web, it will look like this:
And when selecting View Map
