By default, forms will display the records using the List View. The List View displays the form record assigned to the Header Field.
To view the records in Map View, click the Map button (beside Reports) in the top right. This will switch the view and display the records and header on the map using Pin locators to mark the Field Sample locations.
To return to the List View, click the List button (beside Reports) in the top right.
Note: Whichever view the user selects will be the persistent view seen when saving or canceling records while the user remains in the form. Upon exiting the form (back to the form list), the view will be reset back to the default list view as noted above. |

Form Layers
Form Layers are records the contain GPS data configured using a Map FieldMap Field in the Map Setup of the template.
Reference Layers
The Map View allows users to view attached GeoJSON layers. To load GeoJSON layers requires creating a data form on the server (through the Data Forms page in Collect Enterprise) and attaching a GeoJSON file to the data form. Once the data form is created with the attached files, the user will be able to see the layers in the Map View. The loaded GeoJSON layers are accessible in the Layers dialog under Reference Layers. Invalid or corrupted GeoJSON files will not be loaded.
Location Options in Map View
Users can select any location displayed on the Map View to modify records and perform actions.
When selecting a location from the Map View, a menu will be displayed allowing the user to select whether to Edit, Copy or Delete the record. If the form contains any subforms the menu will display a Subforms option. If any actions are setup on the form, an Action option will be available.
•Edit – Opens the current record selected and allows the user to edit or enter fields values of that record.
•Copy – Creates a copy of a specific record and opens the copied record.
•Delete – Deletes the current record and associated subforms, if applicable.
•Subforms – Opens the subforms section of the selected record, if subforms exist.
•Actions – View and run action field options that have been setup within the template/form.
Actions can be ran from the Map View. Selecting the Actions option will display a list of potential actions that can be performed. Actions (if configured in the template form) include:
