# Location Questions

# **Location Questions**

Location questions in uAuditor allow inspectors to capture their geographic position on a map during inspections. This helps organizations verify where inspection activities take place and ensures inspections are performed at the correct site.

Location capture strengthens accountability and supports location-based compliance verification.

## **What Are Location Questions?**

A location question records the inspector’s position using map-based GPS selection during an inspection.

Captured data may include:

- current GPS coordinates
- selected map location
- inspection site confirmation
- branch-level verification points

This information becomes part of the inspection record and appears in reports.

## **Why Use Location Questions**

Location questions help organizations:

- confirm inspections are performed on-site
- improve traceability of inspection activities
- validate branch-level execution
- reduce incorrect reporting from remote locations
- support compliance requirements
- strengthen operational transparency

They provide reliable geographic verification of inspection activity.

## **When to Use Location Questions**

Location questions are especially useful when inspections involve:

- verifying inspector presence at a branch
- confirming site-level inspections
- documenting field service visits
- recording inspection checkpoints across facilities
- validating mobile workforce activity
- supporting regulatory documentation requirements

They help ensure inspections occur at the intended location.

## **How to Add a Location Question**

To add a location question to a template:

1. Open the Templates module
2. Select the required template
3. Open the target Page
4. Select the appropriate Section
5. Click Add Question
6. Enter the question title
7. Select Location on Map as the response type
8. Save the question

The question becomes available immediately during inspections.

## **Example Use Cases for Location Questions**

Organizations commonly use location questions for:

- **Branch Verification**
  - Example: “Capture your location to confirm inspection at this branch.”
- **Equipment Site Checks**
  - Example: “Select the equipment inspection location on the map.”
- **Field Operations**
  - Example: “Record the service visit location.”
- **Compliance Documentation**
  - Example: “Confirm inspection location for regulatory verification.”

These responses improve inspection reliability and accountability.

## **How Location Data Appears in Reports**

Location responses appear inside inspection reports and help:

- confirm inspection site accuracy
- support audit verification
- validate inspector presence
- improve operational traceability
- strengthen compliance documentation

They provide geographic confirmation of inspection activities.

## **Best Practices for Using Location Questions**

To configure location questions effectively:

- use them for site-sensitive inspections
- place them at the beginning of inspections when presence verification is required
- combine with branch selection questions when needed
- avoid duplication if location is already captured automatically elsewhere
- review captured locations for consistency across inspections

Location questions improve inspection credibility by ensuring activities are recorded with accurate geographic verification across your organization.
