Create a dashboard widget to display the locations of items (e.g. assets, tasks, or work orders) on a map.


Opening the Create Widget window

To create a widget:

  1. Click Dashboard on the side menu.

  2. Go to the top right corner and click Edit Layout> Add Widget.

  3. Click the Type field and select Map.

  4. Fill in the fields (see below).

  5. Add filters. (optional, learn more)

  6. Click Create.

Filling in the fields

Go to the top of the window and enter a title and description (optional). Click the Choose Primary Focus link to select a data set.

In the popup, go to the Primary Focus field and select an option (e.g. assets, tasks, or word orders). Depending on your selection, the form displays additional fields. Select an option for each field. Click Save to close the popup.

Customize settings.

  • Show on Mobile - This feature is enabled by default. Uncheck the box to hide this widget on mobile devices.

  • Color - Customize the colour of the widget on the dashboard.

  • Pin Color - Customize the colour of the map location indicators in the widget.

Using the map

The widget map is interactive. Use the mouse scroller to zoom in or out. Click and drag the map to display a different part of the map.

Hover the widget to display two icons in the top right corner. Click the globe icon to open the map in full-screen mode in a popup. Click the refresh icon to update locations.

Adding filters

Add one or more filters to disaggregate data and focus on a defined subset. In the example below, the user created a widget to show the location of one asset.

In the below screenshot, the green pin shows the location of one asset.
