Step 8. Select Issue Type from the drop-down menu

Step 9. Select Address from the drop-down menu

Step 10. Select Location (If applicable), Parking Zone, and Parking Space (If applicable). If there is no Choose indicating a drop-down menu, it means the property was not set up to report these fields.

Step 11. Urgent - Immediate Action Required. The Urgent - Immediate Action Required box and a check-mark will appear to mark an Issue as Urgent press.  

Many companies create Chains of Escalation so that specific people will be notified if an Issue is marked as Urgent. If you have questions about using this feature, contact your immediate Supervisor.

If the Focusing Camera.. Please hold still message does not go away and allow you to take a photo, please notify your Supervisor immediately. This means Use Auto Focus is selected in the Issue Monitor and does not work with the device being used. The System Admin will need to un-select the the Use Auto Focus option in Device Maintenance

When a Photo is taken in you have the option to Keep Photo or Delete Photo.

NOTE: Photos taken within the Silvertrac App cannot be added from the device's Gallery or Album and they cannot be saved to it. Each Photo is date and time stamped.

Step 14 Add Note. To add a Note to an Issue press the Add Note Icon. You have the option to use talk to text by pressing the Voice Input or typing in your note using the keypad:
