I know this functionality is being looked at and possibly developed. I thought I would illustrate my current needs just to make sure it is considered with current ongoing development. I suspect, however, this is a very common request and already on the development list. Regardless, I’ll write it here just in case it sparks thought.
For several apps, currently being written and those I will create soon, I need the capability to capture TWO columns of data
I am attempting to do this with current functionality now, But as you can imagine, it is very tedious.
My vision is to have dedicated column types, like ChangeLocation and ChangeTimeStamp, designed to capture GPS coords and the time updated AUTOMATICALLY - maybe AutoLocation and AutoLocationTime.
BUT, I would need to be able to add a condition to capture and write for ONLY the logged in user. Maybe use an expression such as “USEREMAIL() = [Login Email]” on the column. This way the info is written only for the user currently active on the device.
With the above feature, I can provide a map of users LKL’s.
Additionally, I can create a Workflow that writes to a history table the captured locations to help create a route - either in a table view list style or visual on a map.
So, with a list of captured locations (ordered by time captured), I would then want the capability to draw out the route and overlay onto a map or associated satellite image. I can also see where direction of travel might become ambiguous after the fact. So directional arrows might be needed.
No biggie…right? You guys can have this implemented in no time!
