Configuring Maps

Map Functionality Overview

The Map functionality allows users to display GPS locations on a Google Map.

To use this feature, the Data Collector app must have a field type that obtains GPS coordinates, such as a Photo, Signature, or Location field.

  1. Access Levels:
    • By default, the Maps functionality is enabled for Super Users.
    • To enable Maps for other users, you can create a Custom Access Level or add the ‘MAPs’ permission to an existing Access Level.
  2. Default Fields Available on Map Pins:
    • When you click a pin location on the map, the Submitted By, Submitted Date/time, and Header Pin fields are available by default.
  3. Configuring Additional Fields:
    • You can customise which additional fields are shown when clicking on a pin.
    • In the Data Collector App builder:
      • Select the three-dot icon next to the field you want to include.
      • Choose the ‘Maps’ option.
      • Select ‘Show data on map pin’ and confirm your selection.
    • Once the Data Collector App is published, the chosen fields will be displayed when interacting with map pins.

Note:

The Maps option is not available for selection with Header Pin, Photo, Signature, or Location Fields.
