📝 Description
A Location Validation task ensures that an uploaded image was captured near the project’s designated GPS location. This helps maintain data accuracy by confirming that photos are taken at or near the correct site.
To run this task successfully, the project must have GPS coordinates already set. See this article for more info.
🛠️ Accessing the Task
- The Location Validation modal appears when the user:
🔧 1. Open the Task
- From your workflow or task list, choose an existing Location Validation task to edit OR
- Create a new task and select "Image Location Validation" as the task type.
Both actions open the same configuration modal.
💬 2. Edit the Task Name
- Inside the modal, you can edit the task name.
📏 3. Set the Distance Threshold
- Enter the maximum allowed distance (in feet) between the image location and project location.
Example: 500 feet
If an image is taken farther than this distance, the task will fail the validation.
🗺️ 4. Error Handling (Optional)
You may choose how the system handles images without GPS metadata.
- Check the box “Skip task on missing location data”
This will skip validation when location data is missing from images.
- Leave the box unchecked if missing GPS data should be ignored.
💾 5. Save Your Changes
- Click Save.
- The Save button becomes enabled once all required fields (such as the distance threshold) are completed.
Your Location Validation task is now updated and will run according to the parameters you defined.
