Creating Polygons on a Dashboard

In this release, we are introducing the ability for users to create shaded shapes on our map view which can then be linked to one or more forms. This feature will greatly benefit the Quality and Defects processes as you will be able to visually create areas for your inspections as well as your defect walkthroughs.

What are Polygons?

A polygon is a shaded/coloured area on the map that can be linked to a form.

• To create a polygon on a map you must first add a GPS user field to the form type you wish to represent on the map.
• To do this go to the user field config area of the form you wish to edit
• Add a GPS field
• Select the mode of Polygon
• Pick the colour that you wish to use for the polygon that you create and you are set.

To start creating polygons you must go to your dashboard, and then add a count widget with the polygon form types you wish to associate with that widget.

To ensure the map view is loaded when clicking on this widget you can customise the default view for this widget to be the map view
