Route items must include a Subject. This is used to identify it in lists and to give others a summary of what it is about. This is done through the mobile app when track my route is saved.

Field users can track their routes while working with the mobile app. Pins are dropped automatically as the user moves to store the path they took. Routes are uploaded as this information type automatically when the user opts to save it and synchronises from their device.

Additionally, the Date of Route stores the date that it was saved and the User field stores the ID of the user who recorded it. For auditing purposes these fields cannot be edited. This also enables mobile recorded routes to be differentiated as in manually recorded routes these fields will be blank.

The route itself is stored in the Location & Map section.
