Users have the option to share their location on their profile. Currently, location data is only viewable by admins.
Video Overview
How do I enable Location for my members?
You can go to Admin Settings > Members > Onboarding and press the "Location" toggle so it's enabled. Here, you can select which locations you want to allow, then save your onboarding profile settings.
How members update their location
Enabling location data collection allows you to ask members where they are located in onboarding. It also enables existing members to add or update their location in Settings My Account.
While Heartbeat automatically suggests a location suitable to your members, they can also pick from any of the allowed countries and switch their location at any time.
How to use automated groups to track member location
One way you can track member location is through automated groups. For example, you can create an automated group called "NY Metro Area" and set the filter to "within 30 miles of New York, NY"
Members will automatically be added and removed from this group based on their location. You can create events specifically for this group, use it to configure matchmaking based on location, or make specific content in the community available based on their location.
