How do I record my first visit?

Tap the microphone button on the phone, talk and take photos as you walk, then tap End visit. Propel drafts the report for you to review.

Phone app Updated November 13, 2026

A visit is one stop at one place. You record it on the phone, and when you end it PropelMapper drafts a report you review, sign and send.

On the phone

  1. Make sure the place exists. If not, add it first from Map, then +.
  2. Tap the round microphone button in the middle of the tab bar. The visit starts at the nearest place. Tap the place name at the top to change it.
  3. Tap the microphone to start recording. Say what you see, as you would tell a colleague. Tap again to Pause recording, then the green check to Save voice note.
  4. Tap Capture to take photos. Tap Note to type a note.
  5. When you are done, tap the red End visit button.
  6. The visit page opens. It moves through Capture, Processing, Review, Sign and Sent.
  7. When it shows Sign report, read the draft and sign it. Then tap Send report.

Good to know

  • A new visit starts with location on but the microphone off. Nothing is recorded until you tap the microphone.
  • Each capture is pinned at your location, so photos and notes land on the map where you took them.
  • You can record with no signal. Captures upload when you reconnect.
  • You can also start a visit in the web app from Start a visit.
