Take control with geofencing: Manage form access based on location
Hello form builders!
Location-based data is not just about knowing where your users are—it's about making better decisions. With Zoho Forms, you can now collect your respondents' coordinates and define virtual boundaries, limiting form submissions to geographical areas.
New Geolocation Capabilities in Zoho Forms
We have enhanced Zoho Forms with powerful location-based controls to give you more flexibility.
Form Access from Any Location
You can now allow form submissions from anywhere, while still capturing location data if detected. This is perfect when location data is optional, but can also be enforced to make location detection mandatory before submission.Geofence Form Submissions
Limit form submissions to users within a specific geographical area using a virtual boundary, or geofence. Whether you are hosting a local event or offering region-specific services, submissions will only be accepted from within the defined area, providing more control and relevance to your data collection.
Both these options come with customizable error messages to guide users smoothly through the submission process, even when location detection fails.
Take full control of where your form submissions come from!
Boosting business efficiency with Geolocation
While Geolocation is a powerful feature, it is important to maintain transparency with your respondents. Zoho Forms provides the flexibility to inform your users why you are collecting their location data and how it will be used. This ensures compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR, giving your users peace of mind when sharing their data. Once Geolocation is enabled, your forms automatically capture location data without requiring any complex steps from your users. It is quick, easy, and completely unobtrusive.
Field workforce management
Manage a distributed workforce with ease by tracking where your employees are when they submit forms. Geolocation helps confirm that field agents or remote employees are where they are supposed to be.
Regional compliance
Certain industries or services must comply with geographical regulations. By capturing the location of your respondents, you can ensure compliance by limiting submissions to where your service is legally allowed.
Identify trends
Spot geographical trends in customer reviews and service requests. Explore where your services are most requested or where customer engagement is highest, allowing you to focus marketing and operational efforts effectively.
Start capturing location-based data today with Zoho Forms and watch your business grow with smarter, more informed decisions.
We will be back soon with another exciting update. Until then, happy form building and goodbye!
Cheers,
Samhita
