Geo-Fence Control

Hi FatimahAIQadib,

I'm trying to use it for a similar situation, here's how I get it to work:

I've just discoverd this component. To create an action when someone enters or leaves the radius: set up a boolean varable to act as a trigger when the radius is entered or left, then send an email (or other action) as a result of that trigger variable becoming true or false. I used a label control to contain the boolean true or false. Then, I assigned the true or false value to the variable, varIntheOffice.

If(
lblIntheOffice,
Set(varIntheOffice,true);
);
If(
varIntheOffice,
Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2("youremail@domain.com","In the Office","You have checked in to the office at" & Now())
)

This works great! Hope it helps!

However, it is difficult to get the precise locations of an office. Seems to only work well with large areas and a large radius.

Let me know if you come up with something better!

Hi agiannakis,

Please see use case in reply above. Hope that helps.

)

This works great! Hope it helps!

However, the challenge I am having is getting a precise lattitude and longitude in which to enter and exit. Such as when an employee enters the office, I want it to time stamp. But, getting the location that precise seems to be difficult.

Any one has use this app control? it a great idea but some what is not working or (this si more likely) i am use it wrong

Thanks @Anonymous for sharing this with us, 

So, now I am going to import this component into my app, then how to set it up for using? 

My purpose in this is to use it for attendance for employees, to see if the employee attends in the assigned location or not? So I am going to compare his current location with the predefined location in the app. 

Could this component be used in the opposite fashion? For example, lets say I was completing work onsite & I opened my app to close off my task and then any other open work orders could be displayed nearby.

So instead of comparing my location against a set point, it would compare set points against my location?
