Re: Capture coordinates
Hello all,
Just to be sure and related to this topic, is there any way to capture *event
coordinates* in a default way? I mean, is it possible to assign coordinates
from an org unit to the events which are being captured in this org unit in
an automatic way? For the moment, we have to introduce them manually with
each event we register on one of our programs in order to make these events
visible on GIS app.
I think this is not offtopic, but tell me if it is.
Thanks!!
