Overview

When configuring the Geopoint Address Capture aspect in the Work Type Modeller, you must choose a Display Mode. This setting determines how the location capture fields are presented to the end-user within the Key Facts blade.

There are two primary modes: Single Editor and List. Choosing the correct mode depends on whether you are capturing a specific, mandatory location (like a home address) or a collection of points (like multiple points of interest).

Single Editor Mode

This mode is best used for capturing a single, specific location that is integral to the case, such as the primary "Incident Location" or "Client Address".

• Inline Editing: The capture fields (address, coordinates, etc.) are displayed directly within the main form (inline).
• Direct Access: Users do not need to click a separate "Add" button; the fields are immediately visible and ready for input.
• Mandatory Fields: This mode is ideal for required locations. If you make the aspect mandatory, the form will automatically display the fields, ensuring the user cannot save the case without completing them.
• User Experience: It appears as a section within the blade that can expand or collapse, labelled with the title you define (e.g., "Kitchen Sink").

List Mode

This mode is designed for managing collections of locations or optional location data. It is essential when the Cardinality of the geopoint feature is set to “Multiple”.

• Summary View: Instead of showing all data fields immediately, this mode displays a list of existing location records.
• Bladed Editing: To add or edit a location, the user clicks an item or an "Add" button. This opens a secondary blade (slide-out panel) containing the editor, keeping the main form concise.
• Management Controls: Users can easily add new points or remove existing ones from the list.
• Map Integration: You can configure this mode to display a map alongside the list. For example, a "GIS Information" section can list multiple items (vehicle location, property boundary) while simultaneously displaying them all on a single interactive map.

Configuration Summary

To switch between these modes:

1. Navigate to the Aspects tab in the Work Type Modeller.
2. Select the Geopoint Address Capture aspect and open its properties.
3. Locate the Display Mode setting:
   1. Select Single Editor to inline the capture fields.
