Add GPS Location To Your Form Effortlessly

1. Create A Workplace

Sign up on Clappia, and you should see an option to create a workplace. You can use your company name or your own preference as the name for the workplace. A workplace provides a virtual boundary for your organization, allowing admins to have organization-level user and data access control.

2. Start building the application

Click on the plus button to start creating your app. Give your App a name.

3. Add a GPS Location Field

After clicking on the plus button, you will land on the ‘Design App’ page where you can create or edit your app. You can have multiple sections in an app by clicking on ‘Add Section’. Once you add your first section, you can then add necessary fields like text boxes, dropdowns, date pickers, GPS location and more. Consider the data you need to collect offline and ensure the required fields are included.

4. Configure GPS Location Field

Click on the GPS location field to open its properties. Here, you can customize the advanced field. You can define geographical boundaries within Clappia forms. For example, when an employee enters these boundaries within 200 meters or less, attendance will be automatically be taken. Along with this, you can also mandate the employee to upload a selfie by using a camera block. Thus, an employee can register his/her attendance only if he/she comes to the site location.

5. Test Your Form

Go to ‘App Home’ to test out the live app which is ready in an instant. You can also use it on the mobile app without additional set up. Additionally, workflows, charts, and automated reports can be configured if needed for your forms. Test and review your form to ensure all location features are working correctly, then deploy it to your users by granting them access.
