When a user selects a ‘Photo’ field type in a Data Collector App, you are prompted to select:

  • Take photo with camera
  • Choose from library (If available for the app)

Selecting ‘Take photo with camera’ opens the camera screen, and selecting ‘Choose from library’ allows the user to select a photo from their photo library.

Once a photo is captured, we now show the date and time the last image was captured.

Photos taken on the device, or chosen from the photo library, are now compressed on the device to reduce file sizes.
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=\’Location\’ tags=\’\’ custom_id=\’\’]

The ‘Location’ field will show your location on a map.

Once a Location is captured, we now show the GPS co-ordinates after the date/time the location was captured.

[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=\’Number\’ tags=\’\’ custom_id=\’\’]
The ‘Number’ field allows you to capture a numeric value to 5 decimal places.

Prompts you to enter a number (with or without decimal places). When you tap on a ‘Number’ field on an iOS device, you are presented with the numerical keypad to eliminate the possibility of entering alpha characters by mistake.
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=\’Currency\’ tags=\’\’ custom_id=\’\’]
The ‘Currency’ field allows you to capture a numeric value to 2 decimal places.

Similar to the ‘Number’ field, except that it prompts you to enter a specific value (with or without decimal places) as opposed to a general number. When a user taps on a Currency field on an iOS device, they are presented with the numerical keypad to eliminate the possibility of entering alpha characters by mistake.

During the countdown, you can ‘Pause’ the ‘Timer’ by tapping on ‘Tap to Pause’. A modal will be shown allowing the user to ‘Resume’ the ‘Timer’, the countdown will continue.

The user can also ‘Reset’ the ‘Timer’, which will reset the ‘Timer’ to the set value.

[/av_toggle]

When a signature / sketch is required to be captured, if the device is held in portrait mode, the signature / sketch panel rotates to landscape to provide a larger screen for the capture of the signature / sketch.

We show the GPS co-ordinates after the date/time the signature was captured.
