Step-by-Step Instructions

Adding a Location Log Manually on Gearbelt Mobile Web

  1. Open Gearbelt Mobile Web and select the Assets tab in the bottom navigation.

  2. Select the asset you want to add a location log for.

  3. Select Location Logs from the asset profile.

  4. Tap the + button in the bottom right corner.

  5. Select a Location from the list.

  6. Enter the Created date.

  7. Tap Save.

How Locations from Record Forms Are Captured

When a record form that includes a location field is submitted, the location is automatically saved to the asset's Location Logs. This applies to inspection, issue, and schedule check record forms.

Each entry in the Location Logs register displays the Source — entries added manually are labelled Manual, while entries created from a record form show the name of the form.
