Searching for Location and Schedule Map View of Users, Resources and Events.

Using Locations for Events and Resources

Each Event and Resource in your schedule can have a location. This Location information is also exported and accessible remotely when using our mobile app, via iCal and in email alerts, allowing external users to simply view or to get directions to the destination.

If a resource/tag is a destination like a client or site you can enable the option The location is a destination at the bottom of the resources details page. With this option enabled the location will be automatically added to an event when the resource is tagged in the event removing the need to type addresses manually in any event.

Schedule Map View

Select the Map View from your Schedule menu to visualise the location of resources, events and the live position of users. This map view can help you plan based on geographic data and view historical movements. Only resources and events with a location can be viewed on the map.

• View the location of planned Events and Tasks. The location of an event is taken from the events Location field. The track can show the order of events by their start date to help visualise the order and reduce overlaps.
  
  
• View the location of Resources. These can be your clients, sites, staff and any other important resources with a base address that is set in the Map Location field in their details.
  
  
• View the last location and movement history of Users. When Users use the Schedule it app their location can be tracked if they allow it. This can show where they viewed their schedule, update events, checked in on arrival etc.
  

The Resources and Events that are shown on the map can be selected via the filter to narrow the results shown.

To enable and allow the location of remote Users to be detected they must allow our mobile app, or website, to use the devices location features. This is normally asked for when using the app or set in the devices privacy settings.
