6.1 Introduction

When visiting a site, or any other location, you can register your location against a site visit currently in the system. You can also capture a geographic location (geolocation) and publish it to a community map, which shows the location of all CRAs in the system.

The Geolocation services will be set to Off at installation. If you attempt to access the Geolocation services while it is turned off, an error message is displayed. To use the services you will have to set it to On and Mobile CRA lets you turn it off, while retaining all other connected services.

6.2 Registering a Site Visit

You can capture your geolocation from your Tablet or Phablet against a list of site visits beginning with the visit closest to the current date. Mobile CRA will capture the date, timestamp, latitude, and longitude. If you do not accept the geolocation, you can request another capture. Once a site visit geolocation is completed, it will be sent to CTMS and applied to the site visit record.

Perform the following steps to register your location and attach the location to a site visit record:

1. In the My Studies pane, select a study.

2. Select a study-site. Tap Checkin.
