Android Users will be presented with the Add Place Screen
Once you have selected a location, the next screen will show you address details. You will be able to edit the fields as needed.
The Place ID field is where you can add a Custom ID. Typically, this number will follow a pattern your organization uses. This field is optional when adding a new Place. The other fields will be in reference to the name and address of the Place that you are adding
When all fields have been inputted, tap Save in the upper right corner. Your newly added Place is now available to complete Missions.
Viewing Missions at a New Place
The ability to Add a New Place is mission-specific; that is, it must be turned on by an administrator for each mission.
When you add a new Place, you may see a limited list of missions as available to complete at this new Place. This simply means that the Missions you do not see listed do not have this feature enabled.
