Automatic GPS Location Logging

[peterdykstra]

Including Initial Values and ensuring column values cannot be editable is an effective way to securely log dates, times, locations & user details on every saved update. Some useful Initial Value expressions include:

• HERE() for capturing users’ GPS location
• USEREMAIL() for capturing the app user email address
• TODAY() for including today’s date
• TIMENOW() for including the current time

(Apps will always notify & ask permission of the app user before capturing location info)

Peter:

locations & user details on every saved update.

@Peter - Very nice! (and maybe even a little bit creepy)

[peterdykstra]

Thanks @Mike - just added a clarification/reminder that app users will always be notified and asked for permission first

[Mike_A]

and still awesome anyway!

How to use image on map pin?? Like the same as shared

[Grant_Stead]

It’s not possible at this time. (It would be very cool though)

[peterdykstra]

@Bikash_Debnath like Grant mentioned, it’s unfortunately not possible right now, but if you visit UX > Format Rules you can add custom icons to your map point locations by applying the format rule to the mapped location column.

Thank you very much Mr. Peter for the guidance. I will definitely explore the option as per your statement.

Hey Peter,

This is where I’m looking for… But the only thing that is see is a white screen when you start with explain… Is there an option that you can send it to me?
