What’s New

KMZ List View with Search Bar

The KMZ List View with Search Bar solves these issues:

1. If there are multiple points in the same location, the user is unable to select the point that lies beneath.

2. The difficulty is navigating from one point to other, the user has to zoom and select each point in the map view.

   • When the points are spread across huge distances, the user has to zoom in and out and move left and right in a clunky way just find points

   • Some points may never be found if they are too far out from the main map area

3. Upon submission of a point, the user is redirected to the main page and with the map view.

4. Points on the map have just an icon and no additional information which makes finding a specific point by other details (such as point name) difficult as users will have to try every point to find it.

Implementation details: KMZ - Offline Support

Absolute Date Component

This component will let the user enter an absolute value of date, irrespective of their timezone.

When the mobile user wants to communicate a particular date, for example, a leave date, to the web user, converting it to UTC may not be relevant or required.

When the mobile user has selected a date as Jan 1st, 2020 from a location under IST, the same date should be seen by the user in PST as well.

Absolute Time Component

This component will let the user enter an absolute value of time, irrespective of their timezone.

When the user wants to communicate a particular time, for example, the break time for a day, to the web user, converting it to UTC might not be relevant or required. If the mobile user has selected a time 11:00 from IST, the same time should be seen by the user in PST as well.

Cancel Task in Offline Mode

Users can now cancel a task both in online and offline modes.

The canceled task is removed from the task list immediately, even while Offline and synced to the server immediately when the user is connected back.

Implementation Details:

When a workflow is offlineAllowed = true and the wfa is cancelTask and asyncTask = true, on submission of the wfa, it will go to submission queue (whether there is internet or not), the task will be removed from the task list and will be synced to the server whenever there is an internet connection. If offlineAllowed=false, then we just treat it as asyncTask .
