Formatting the name of map points in Landscape Mobile

When you take a photo in Landscape Mobile, a new map point is created. The name of the point will be derived from the default name of "Photopoint" and the count or number of points already in the Site Visit. So, if there aren't any points already in the Site Visit, the new point will be named "Photopoint 01."

You can change the default name of the points in Settings > General:

If you wanted to just name the new points, "Point" then the number, you would change this format to "Point {0}."

The "{0}" bit is required and is where the number of the point will be displayed. By default Landscape zero-pads your numbers so they sort correctly in reports when sorted by the Name field. So, "Photopoint 01", "Photopoint 02", etc. You can learn more in this article.

Adding the ":D2" after the 0 is what ensures there will be a leading zero before single-digit numbers. If you rather not do that, simply remove the ":D2" part and leave only {0}. If you want to ensure there will be two leading zeros (for handling more than 100 points), you can change that part to "{0:D3}."
