Accessing CCIsites Mobile Apps

Requirements
In order to use the Mobile Responsive Applications, all users need a CCIsites account. To obtain a CCIsites
account, request access as a General Contractor role through one of the following Crown Castle contacts: a
District Manager, a Tower Operations Manager, or an Implementation Manager. The General Contractor role is
for contractors performing work on and within the tower compound, and will require one of the mentioned con-
tacts to sponsor your account access.

Note: Once you initially register for the CCIsites account, you have 14 days to fully complete the regis-
tration, including an initial sign-in to CCIsites. After the registration process is completed, the CCIsites
account can be inactive for up to six months, or 180 days, before it becomes disabled. If a CCIsites
account is inactive for one year, or 365 days, the CCIsites account is deleted.

Downloading Photos to Your Mobile Device

While in the Photo Capture tool, all photos uploaded can also be downloaded to a mobile device or a desktop
computer. For example, if a user takes all of the photos while at a site, and uploads the photos using the cam-
era icon in the Photo Capture tool, the photos are not automatically saved to the camera roll on the user's
phone.

photos to the user's mobile device or desktop computer.

In the Actions menu, select Download Photos. The photos will download to your phone as a zip file.
