If you are running mWO, you can turn on GPS tracking on Application Level


You can control the location tracking in behaviour in Application Parameters.
 

 

You can also control it for individual devices
 

 

The data will be recorded in Device Locations

Hi Anmise,

Thanks for the update. The above explanation helps in capturing the GPS updates in IFS Cloud. I have few queries, 

  1. How frequently the updates are synced. Where can we set the time?
  2. Can we track the Technician movement on the Map, so that the Dispatcher or Schedule Manager can view the Technician movement.
  3. Also the link you have provided is not working.

  1. The frequency is set in the parameters, LOCATION_TRACKING_INTERVAL_MIN. It also captures the position when a status is changed and a picture is taken.
  2. No, there is currently no map showing a trail of positions.
  3. What is the error? Works fine for me. Can you try this link
