How to implement GPS and Geofencing?

  1. Implement GPS

    • Open Form Builder

    • Insert GPS field

      • Find GPS field in form builder’s field section
      • Add it to your form
    • Configure GPS Settings

      • Set GPS field to capture type On Submit
      • Configure precision of GPS data if available
    • Set Permissions

      • Ensure app requests location permissions from user’s device
    • Save and Test

      • Save the form
      • Test GPS feature on a mobile device for accuracy
  2. Implement Geofencing

    • Define Geofence Parameters

      • Determine geographical boundaries using GPS coordinates
    • Use Geofencing field

      • Add geofencing field from form builder
      • Configure geofence parameters within the app
    • Set Geofence Triggers

      • Decide actions for when geofence boundary is crossed
      • Options: send notifications, log events, restrict app access
    • Configure Notifications

      • Set up alerts for geofence entry/exit if supported
    • Test Geofencing

      • Thoroughly test in real-world scenario
      • Ensure triggers and actions work as expected
    • Deploy

      • After testing, deploy app for user access

Important Notes

  • Ensure proper permissions are set for GPS and geofencing features
  • Test thoroughly in various scenarios to confirm accuracy and functionality
