Is it possible to suppress location capture in a Terraflex form? We're using Nautiz x41 Handhelds running Terraflex and Catalyst DA2 for location, and while we capture location in some applications, we'd like to be able to capture barcode and input data without location for others. I can't see an option to suppress the location fields at the top of the screen. If you ignore them, then you get an error message (no location captured) on completing the form. While this isn't a show stopper, we're as an environmental charity using volunteers we need to make the workflow as simple and intuitive as possible. 

Is there a way to turn location off altogether?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Charles,

There is no way to disable the location capture completely, but it should be possible to capture forms without being prompted to log a location. Have a look at the template in Map Viewer and see if the 'Form geometry must be captured' option is checked:

If this option is enabled then TerraFlex will require a location to be logged for the form to be saved

Thanks,
Hamish

Thanks Hamish. Unfortunately whether the  'Form geometry must be captured' option is checked or not doesn't make any difference. 

and In the Terraflex app the location is still forced and an error message on the form save is triggered.
