Then click on the map to draw your polygon point by point and then double click at the end to complete drawing the polygon

Linking a Form to a Polygon

Once a polygon is drawn you can click on the create form button to create a new form and link the form to the polygon

On the screen that appears for you to create a new form, you will see all the form types that have a GPS user field configured with the Polygon mode. 

Pick a form type from this list, fill in the details and submit the form.

The polygon will be created with a link to the form.

View a Form Linked to a Polygon

To view the form linked to the polygon click on the pill in the centre of the polygon, then click on the view button

Edit a Polygon

This will turn the points of the polygon into its editable state. You can then drag around the points to reshape/resize the polygon as required. And then simply click anywhere on the screen to save the changes.

Creating Another Form to Link to an Existing Polygon

To create and link another form against an existing polygon click on the hover tool and then click on the + icon.

As you can only link the same form type as the one already linked to the polygon it will automatically load up that form for you. In this case the Services form.

Associating Existing Forms to a Polygon

To link exiting forms of the same type already linked to a polygon, click on the link icon on the hover screen.

This will load up the associate screen, pre-filtered to the form type already linked to the polygon. In this example, it is prefiltered to the Services form type.

From here you can do a keyword search to find the forms you wish to link. 

Select the relevant forms and then click done.

Deleting a Polygon

To delete a polygon click on the delete icon on the hover screen and follow the prompts.

Note that deleting the polygon will not delete the forms you created against the polygon.

Filtering the Map by Polygons

You can filter your map view by the polygon form types you've configured against your widget.

To filter your map view click on the status filter.

Filter by polygon form type and its status. Then click done to update the map.
