Hi,

I’m about to create a module which needs the GPS location.
In an “app” there is the auto field “GeoLocation”, this is missing in the “module”.
Is there a workaround for this?

Thank you!

Hi,

You have to create that Auto Field in your module. You can do this in the Data Workbench while editing the module.
For further information I recommend the documentation regarding the Data Workbench.

thank you!
maybe in future the auto fields will be present automatically (just like within “apps”)

update:
I created the autofields for “longitude” and “latitude”, when trying to map the fields to a variable, i get “uncaught path points to undefiend field” in the generated source code lines.

this.getGlobals().setVar(“ScanResult”,this.evalAutoField(“Geolocation”,{“QueryParameter”:”latitude”}),”latnum”);
this.getGlobals().setVar(“ScanResult”,this.evalAutoField(“Geolocation”,{“QueryParameter”:”longitude”}),”longnum”);

The variable “ScanResult” has been defined in the data work bench of course.

thx.

Hello Franz,

 

you can use the auto fields in your “main application” and extend the interface of the module to pass the gps parameters from the app into your module. in your module you can use the interface input parameter to map this into the module variable “Scan result”.

Hello Christian,

actually this is not my use case. The intention is to have a re-usable module which scans a barcode, gets the location and the timestamp and delivers everything together to the “main application”. passing the gps location from outside doesnt make too much sense here :-/

thx.

Hello Franz,

 

you need to predefine your variable structure like i mentioned here.
