The questionnaire with geolocation plugin works the same way as the standard questionnaire plugin, with one key difference: it captures the user’s geographic coordinates when they submit their responses. This allows you to understand where users were when they answered questions, which can be useful for field work, audits, on-site check-ins, or location-based reporting.

From a setup and usage standpoint, everything else remains familiar. The question types, configuration options, and overall behavior match the standard questionnaire plugin.


Requirements

  • This is a Maximize plugin, available specific plans only

  • Location permissions enabled on the user’s device

  • Users must allow location access when prompted by the app


How to use the questionnaire with geolocation plugin

  1. Log in, go to Builder in the left navigation

  2. Click the + button to open the Plugin Marketplace

    • Search for Questionnaire with Geolocation, then click Add Plugin

    • Name your plugin and click Add

  3. Stay in the Content tab

  4. Create and configure your questions just like you would in the standard questionnaire plugin

  5. Publish your app so users receive the updated plugin

  6. When users open the questionnaire in the app, they will be prompted to allow location access

  7. Each submitted response will include the user’s location coordinates at the time of submission


Pro tips

  • If a user denies location access, the questionnaire can still function, but location data will not be captured

  • This plugin is ideal for on-site inspections, attendance verification, and field reporting

  • Location data is captured automatically and does not require any additional setup beyond enabling permissions
