Capturing your exact location in a form helps provide accurate site context for field records such as inspections, reports, or activities. The Location table cell field in the Dashpivot Mobile App automatically records GPS coordinates, a map reference, and timestamp when filled out. This ensures location data is reliably documented without manual entry.
Prerequisites
Before you begin make sure you have the following:
Plan: Standard (or higher)
Permission: Access to the template and form in the Dashpivot Mobile App
Skills Required: Dashpivot
Device Type: Mobile device with location services enabled
Subscription: Dashpivot Mobile App access
To capture your location in a form via the Dashpivot app, follow these steps:
Open the Dashpivot Mobile App.
Access a template that includes a Location table cell and create a new form.
Fill out the other relevant form fields.
In the table where the Location cell appears, tap the Capture Location blue button.
Depending on your device’s location permissions settings, confirm how you want Dashpivot to access your location: Allow Once (prompt each time) or Allow While Using App (no repeat prompt).
You'll then be directed to a map. Tap Confirm in the top-right corner.
Once captured, the Location cell will display the name of the location, date/time, GPS coordinates, and a map preview.
If needed, remove the captured location by tapping the X in the top-right corner of the cell.
Notes
The Location cell feature must be part of a table cell in the template — it cannot be used standalone.
Location capture requires device location services enabled and appropriate permissions on your device.
When opening the form on web, it will look like this:
