Note |
When you post a survey on a Facebook page by using our Facebook distribution feature, the geolocation feature will not work adhering to Facebook's security policy. |
Geolocation
You can now collect your respondent's geolocation by enabling this option in Restrictions. The respondent's browser coordinates are captured from the first page of the survey, with their consent. In Reports, you can find the location details as respondent variables: country, and location (latitude, longitude, and address). You will also find Zoho Maps and Google Maps links to the respondent's location in individual responses.
Enabling location access on your device (Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android) allows your device to identify your location, as well as select applications on the device to use this information. If you're concerned with privacy and do not want to share your location details, you can disable this option at any point. However, most applications, such as Maps and Photos, recommend sharing your location access for better functioning.
To enable location services on Mac:
- Open System Preferences on your Mac device.
- Click Security & Privacy and select the Privacy tab.
- Click the lock icon in the bottom-left corner to make changes to the settings.
- Unlock it with your system credentials or touch ID.
- Select Enable Location Services.
To enable location services on Windows 10:
- Open Settings on your Windows 10 device.
- Navigate to Privacy.
- Click Location in the App permissions section on the left pane.
- Click Change and turn the Location access for this device toggle button On.
