Can Track Me be used to update a current location database so Geocortex could be used as something like an AVL?

I have field techs that are using our Geocortex application in the field, and I would like their current position to be tracked through the app into a database for safety purposes. Is this something that is easily achieved? Can the Track Me or Follow Me workflows be modified to update a database?

  Hi Paul,

   

  I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work.  I had a look, and couldn't find the Track Me or Follow Me workflows that you mentioned, but here's a quick summary of how you could potentially do this (Note, this is untested, but I think it will work):

   

  1) Create a flowchart workflow

   

  2) First Activity: GetCurrentPosition

   

  3) Second Activity: SqlNonQuery - Use this to take the output of the GetCurrentPosition activity, and insert it into your database

   

  4) Third Activity: Delay - Put a couple of seconds between each update.  How long depends on your network latency.  

   

  5) Loop it back to the first activity

   

  6) Set the workflow to run on startup.  

   

  In theory, that should do the trick.

   

  I hope this helps!

   

  All the best,

   

  Danny

  Hi Danny, I'd like to acheive something similiar, but have the workflow actually create a polygon out of the users track. I imagine the workflow would be similiar...do you have any suggestions on how to acheive this? Thanks!

  Hi Lisa,

   

  I'm not aware of a workflow activity that will do this I'm afraid.  If you followed the same steps, you could always take the data from your database, and use ArcMap (I think) to draw a line around the points, as a polygon, and create features out of them.  That being said, I'm not an ArcMap expert, so this may not work the way I'm thinking it will.

   

  I'd suggest opening a support case so we can assist you with this!

   

  Thanks,

   

  Danny
