Enable Activity Selection by Location

Let's say a mobile worker is assigned with multiple activities in the same location. When the resource completes one of the activities, they can see the other activities in location, if you have configured the Suggest activity by location option. This functionality is available in the offline mode as well. An activity is considered to be at the same location, if the distance is within ‘X meters, where X’ is the Resource Parameter is defined under the Smart Location section.

  1. Click Configuration > User Types.
  2. Select the user type for which you want to enable the Suggest activity by location option.
  3. Under the Activity Management section, select the Suggest activity by location check box.
  4. Click Save.
  5. To configure the Resource Parameter, click Configuration > Business Rules.
  6. Go to the Maps and Geocoding section. In the Resource is considered to be at the activity location if the distance to it is less than field, enter the distance in meters.
    A resource is considered to be at the activity location if the distance to it is less than X meters. If you do not have a license for Smart Location / Professional/ Enterprise Cloud services, then the value is set to 100 meters; you cannot change this value.
