Does anyone have any experience using this?

Map Locations

Laserfiche 10.4 introduces the ability to associate a location on a map with a document or folder using Google Maps, Esri cloud maps, or Esri on-premises maps. Each location has both associated GPS coordinates and a location description; by default, the location description is the street address of the location. This location can be viewed in the details pane of the folder browser or document viewer, or used to perform a search.

I can't see any search location options in the desktop client, and can't see any way of seeing the document location of assigning metadata to the document based on location.

The only thing I can find is a location option in the web client, but that doesn't seem to make any sense as I can't select a map location or input co-ordinates etc.

The help files have screenshots of the LF App, is this functionality only available using the LF App?

Mobile instructions are here.

For web client, go to the configuration page, then Services --> Location Services, where there will be self-explanatory fields that let you enter your API keys.

In Web Client Configuration 10.4, there is a tab under Services to Enable Location Services, that's where you configure your API keys for maps and GeoCoding.

I haven't done anything yet with Location but I'm guessing once, you've configured it in Web Client it may make more sense elsewhere in Laserfiche.

The location function is available in both the web client and the App, but you need to configure API keys for third-party location services in both cases.

Can this feature be used in the Forms module?

Geolocation was always a feature in forms. What are you looking to do?

When saving a form to your repository, you can use a geolocation field value to store as that saved form's document location. One example where this can be useful if you fill out forms from a mobile device out at a location. You can include a geolocation field in your form and set it to be filled with the users current location. After that form is submitted, it will have the location where it was submitted and save that along with the form to the repository. You can then easily view a map of where all of your forms were submitted from.
