Internet connection is required to make this configuration.

All required fields must be completed (marked with *). The rest are volunteers. If there are many fields, these will appear grouped in sections. If there are a few fields they will not be grouped. Among other things it is possible to:

• GPS. Capture the GPS coordinates where the sample is taken.
• Phytosanitary applications records. Associate the phytosanitary applications made to the sample.
  • Send e-mail to the provider. The provider indicated in the sample will receive an e-mail requesting that the phytosanitary applications be loaded.
  • Upload phitosanitary applications. Needs internet connection. A screen opens to enter the applications.
• Request laboratory to collect sample. The chosen laboratory will receive an e-mail requesting to collect the sample, indicating the date and the collection point.

Then you just have to click on the signature icon on the top of the list of reports, and you will be able to select several reports to sign at the same time.
