Filter the Map
1Open the filter
Click the Filter (funnel) button. The list shows four groups: Job Site, Tag, Vehicle and Warehouse, with how many of each are on the map.
2Choose what to show
Check or uncheck a group. Click the arrow next to a group to pick individual types, such as Water Loss Job Site or Neg. Air Exhaust Machine. Use Select All or Clear All to start over.
3Close the filter
Click the funnel again. Click Show All to zoom to what's left.
NOTE The Tag group only counts equipment shown on its own on the map. Equipment inside a vehicle, job site or warehouse is counted with that location. |
Read a Marker
Click any marker to open its info pop-up, which shows the Asset Name, Asset Type and, for job sites, when it was Opened. Click the pencil in the pop-up to edit it.
Job sites are drawn with a ring around them. Anything inside the ring counts as being at that job site.
Add a Job Site or Warehouse
Right-click the spot on the map. A menu shows that spot's latitude and longitude, with Add Job Site and Add Warehouse. Choose one and the Add window opens with the address and position already filled in. See Creating a Job Site for the rest of the steps.
TIP Switch to Satellite and zoom in before you right-click, so you drop the job site on the right building or yard. |
Change a Job Site's Radius
1Zoom in on the job site
Filter to Job Site and zoom in until you can see the ring and the small blue diamond on its edge.
2Drag the diamond
Drag the blue diamond outward to make the area bigger, or inward to make it smaller.
IMPORTANT Making the ring bigger can pull in equipment that's already nearby. It will show as Background Sweep in the Job Site History report. Keep the ring just big enough to cover the property. See Background Sweep for Job Site History Report. |
