MWO mobile integration with coordinates

Hi,

Do you need to view the map position of a specific work task? If so, please setup as follows
 

{root URL}/main/ifsapplications/web/page/MapPositions/List;$filter=KeyRef eq 'TASK_SEQ=4346^'

According to the documentation, Integrations with Screen=Home can use data from the ApplicationParameters entity, Screen=Work Task can use data from:

• ApplicationParameters
• JtExecutionInstance
• EquipmentObject
• JtTaskAddress
• JtTask
• MobileIntegration

I assume that’s why MapPosition…. doesn’t work. I did check the other entities and didn’t find any lat/long fields, there are however the My Work map views, which must also get their data from somewhere. Unfortunately this is not visible in Page Designer.

I wonder if someone in R&D can shed some light on where the map page gets the job lat/long from and whether these fields would be available in mobile integrations.

Hi,

Map page gets the lat,long from a entity called TaskMapPosition, which is based on Mobile_Map_Position view.
But in current solution these fields are not available for mobile integration.

In that case the only alternative would be 2 custom fields on the task to store lat/long (populated when a map position is created/updated), right? Not the ideal solution, but a possible workaround.

I have added idea Make task lat/long available for mobile integrations | IFS Community, feel free to upvote.

Please add adding map position details to Mobile Integrations as an Idea so that we can consider it in a future release

In that case, if I add a custom attribute to the JTTask entity would I be able to add it to the parameters of the Mobile integration? For example, if I created the custom attribute “C_CUSTOM”, how would I configure it in the parameters? Something like this?

https://google.com?custom=${Cf_C_Custom}

For some reason my earlier post did not get published. I had suggested exactly the same, custom fields on the task.

I have also created this idea: Make task lat/long available for mobile integrations | IFS Community

Just curious to know why you’d want to include the task map position in an integration link. Do you want to see the map position in an external map application? 

Today you anyway can open it directly in the device’s map application?

Thanks
