What is the ESRI element?

The ESRI element creates a relationship between iFormBuilder and ArcGIS Online data. This is critical for making updates to existing assets instead of simply adding new entries.  Any form which contains the ESRI element allows the user to select a location from a map and store the latitude and longitude along with the ESRI metadata.

How do I move a point on a map?

PLEASE NOTE: This feature only works if you have an Esri element on your form.

To move a point on a map, please follow the instructions below.

STEP 1. From the form menu, open a form with an Esri Widget.

STEP 2. You will be taken to the map view. Select an existing record.

STEP 3. Tap on the row you want to edit.

STEP 4. A popup will appear: Do you want to edit this record's location? Click YES.

STEP 5. The crosshairs will appear on your device allowing you to move a point. Move the point to your specified location then click the check mark in the top right to select your new point.

STEP 6. After clicking the check mark, you'll be directed to the record to make any other edits needed. Once edited, click Done to submit.
