Purpose

Use the Geolocation control in a form template to allow users to record their current location, including coordinates, date, time, and accuracy. This feature is especially useful for location-based reporting, fieldwork, or compliance tracking.

What it does

When users fill out a form with a Geolocation control, the system captures their current coordinates using their device’s GPS or other location services. It also records:

• Latitude and longitude (in decimal degrees or degrees/minutes/seconds)
• Location accuracy
• Capture time and date

Administrators can access this data in:

• Form PDFs
• Exported reports

How to add a Geolocation control

In the Template Editor

1. Open the form template in the Template Editor.
2. Drag and drop the Geolocation control into the desired section of the form.
3. Save the template.

When completing a form
