Maps

The whole project, on one map.

The map shows every site and building that has an address, and every asset that has its own position or route: a turbine, a pole, a tower, an overhead line, a pipeline. Pins take the colour of the asset status, a red ring counts the open issues, and clicking a pin opens its details.

What you can do

Pins coloured by status

A site or building pin takes the most common status of the assets inside it; an asset pin takes its own status and the icon of its type. Switch Colour by to asset type or to open issues, and the legend follows.

Open issues on every pin

A red ring with a number counts the open issues linked to an asset and its sub-assets, or to all the assets inside a site or building. Click the pin to list them, open one, or create a new issue with the asset and the location already filled in.

Add sites, buildings and assets from the map

Click Add, choose Site, Building or Asset and click where it is. Pick an existing asset to give it a position, or create a new one with the coordinates filled in. Switch on Move pins to drag an asset to its new spot.

Lines, routes and chainage

An asset can have a route instead of a point: an overhead line, a cable route, a pipeline. Choose one line as the project's reference and every pin on it shows its kilometre point, for example KP 4+250, with kilometre posts drawn along the line as you zoom in.

Import KML or KMZ files

Bring an alignment or a site survey from Google Earth or a CAD export onto the map. Each placemark becomes an asset: points become pins, lines become routes, and folders can become parent assets with the placemarks as their sub-assets.

On the phone: nearby, directions, walk a route

The mobile map lists the pins closest to you with their distance, opens your phone's maps app for directions to a pin, sets an asset's position from where you stand, and records a route by walking it with the phone.

How a team uses it

  1. 1

    A project admin turns on the Map module in the project settings and gives the sites and buildings an address in Locations.

  2. 2

    The team places the assets that have their own position, imports the KML survey of the line route and sets the main line as the chainage reference.

  3. 3

    Engineers on site open the map on the phone, see what is nearby, get directions to a pin and create issues from where they stand.

  4. 4

    The project manager filters the map by status or by open issues and shares the view as a link copied from the browser.

  5. 5

    From a building's pin, the team opens its floor plans in Layouts and its asset list on the Assets page.

In more detail

What a pin shows

For a site or building: its name, code, address, the assets inside it split by status and by type, and the floor plans anchored to it. For an asset: its ID, type, status, parent asset, location, category, model, vendor and sub-assets, with a length for a line. Coordinates and routes can be copied from the panel.

Search and filters

Search sites, buildings and assets by name or ID and the map flies to the pin. Filter by one status or one asset type, show or hide sites and assets, or keep only the pins with open issues. The filters and the selected pin are kept in the page address, so a copied link shows the same view.

Who can do what

Seeing the map is part of the standard project roles. Placing and moving assets needs the right to edit assets, creating assets from the map needs the right to create them, and adding a site or building needs the location permissions. Buttons you cannot use are not shown.

Web and mobile

KML import, chainage, the legend, sharing a filtered view and switching the module on are on the web. The phone adds the nearby list, directions, Use my position and Walk this span, which records a point every 5 m as you walk a cable route or a fence line.

Questions

Yes. An overhead line, a cable route or a pipeline is drawn as a line in the asset's colour with a pin at its midpoint. The panel shows its length, start and end, and a route can have up to 2,000 points.

Yes. Import a KML or KMZ file of up to 25 MB. The file is previewed on the map before anything is saved, and a summary lists the rows that will be imported and the ones that will be skipped and why.

No. Equipment inside a building is counted in the building's pin, with its status and open issues. Only assets with their own position, such as a turbine or a tower, get a pin of their own.
