Additional Information

Garmin Forms Overview

Garmin Forms are custom objects in the portal that work with specific devices in the field. Users can employ the Garmin Forms Manager in the Manage Module to assist with any custom forms they have created externally and to create forms from scratch that can be used with their connected assets. Uploading and creating custom Garmin Forms can be done directly from the Manage Module, and once loaded into the portal, users can assign those forms to assets at the individual asset level.

When creating custom Garmin Forms, users can insert a variety of different field types, including:

  • Numeric: A generic numerical field that includes parameters such as minimum value, maximum value, and character limit.
  • Text: A generic text field with the option for a character limit.
  • Date: A generic date field that can pull date information directly from the device.
  • Time: A generic time field that can also pull the associated date from the device.
  • Multi-select: A list of options that functions like a checkbox list, allowing users to select multiple static options.
  • Single-select: A list of options that operates like a drop-down menu with static options.
  • Stops: A field that allows users to input information about their stops, including number and duration.

Key Features

  • Custom Form Creation — design forms tailored to specific operational data needs.
  • Field Type Variety — supports numeric, text, date, time, multi-select, single-select, and stops fields.
