ℹ️ GeoSurvey combines the workflow of surveys with interactive mapping to provide a truly powerful engagement tool. GeoSurvey workflow steps can be linked to various actions in Social Pinpoint to change the zone/ layer visibility and map position and zoom settings.


To add new or configure your existing Social Pinpoint map:

  1. Log in to your Social Pinpoint Admin site

  2. Follow the guide below to configure the various settings and options.


Select a current project using the edit button on the Welcome Screen or create a new project and then head to your "Dashboard"


Click GeoSurveys from the Tool Settings menu on the left

Then select "New GeoSurvey"


Details

Name: Enter a name for your GeoSurvey workflow

Filter markers by GeoSurvey step: Enables the ability to associate comments dropped to the particular GeoSurvey Step they were dropped on. These comments are then NOT visible when looking at another GeoSurvey step. This is particularly useful for projects that want to display multiple design options as you can now clearly show what comments are associated with what design option. Switching between design options will change to the set of comments specific to that design option

⚠️Note: You can only create one GeoSurvey workflow per project. You must save the GeoSurvey before adding workflow steps.

Click Add New GeoSurvey Step
