Customize the geofence alert through arcade expression?

ECarson

Does Field Maps only leverage the alert/messaging functionality of the phone/mobile device its on?

The only actions I could see that were able to be called is 'showMessage' and 'startTracking/endTracking' here: https://developers.arcgis.com/net/api-reference/api/netwin/Esri.ArcGISRuntime/Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Geotriggers.GeotriggerNotificationInfo.Actions.html

As an example, personnel driving a car into hazardous area can we make the screen of the app flash/dim whilst in the area?

If there are already actions available where do I find them?

Thanks for any help,

Hello @ECarson - current functionality within Field Maps is limited to alerts (OS notifications) and toggling location sharing on and off when device is inside geofence boundary/buffer.  Here is a link to getting started with geofence you may find helpful.

You can use arcade in geofence definitions. For example, you can create custom alert text, or only toggle location sharing during business hours.  

I would encourage you to submit your Field Maps ideas to our idea forum. Geofencing is a relatively new features and we're interested in your ideas to make is better!
