Hi Jason,

Using *GIS app* you need to have coordinates on each event most of the time
in order to use* Thematic Layer and/or Event Layer* on maps, and I
understand what you say about "the event may be registered at the facility,
but actually took place some place different, such as in the community"
case scenario, but in the case we consider all the events take place at the
facility where the events get registered, It would be helpful for the
clerks who introduce the events data into the system to not have to
introduce the same coordinates over and over for each patient they
register. That's why I'm asking if there is any way (maybe using custom
forms??) to make the facility coordinates as a default value for the event
coordinates.

Any suggestion to achieve this will be appreciated.

Regards.
