Assign & Track Field Tasks Directly on a Map (With Photos & Status)

Image
Scattered status updates, constant reminders, and weak ground-level visibility often disrupt field execution. When teams rely on spreadsheets, call logs, or offline reports, progress tracking turns slow and uncertain. Location-based field task mapping solves this by transforming mapped points into actionable task hubs where work can be assigned, tracked, and confirmed using real-time updates and visual proof. Core Idea Assign & Track Field Tasks mapping centralizes all field activities on an interactive map. Each task is tied to a specific location, allowing teams to update status live while supervisors verify completion through time-stamped photos and comments. This setup minimizes miscommunication, improves accountability, and keeps everyone aligned without manual follow-ups. Workflow Overview Start by creating a new map project with a meaningful title and description, then activate Task Management during setup. Upload location data using CSV or Excel via the Process Custom Loca...

How to Download Only Your Filtered Map Data in One Click

Image
  Working teams often deal with huge location datasets during inspections, operations, and performance reviews, but exporting entire files slows down progress. Filtered map data export solves this by letting users pull only the visible, relevant points from their active filters. This keeps downloads light, avoids data noise, and speeds up every step from analysis to reporting. Key Concept Filtered map export creates a targeted dataset based solely on what your map displays after applying filters. Filters like category, date range, service zone, or status refine the data, and only those matched points are exported. The result is a clutter-free dataset with reduced size, higher precision, and zero post-cleaning effort. Methodology Open your map project, load the required layer, or import points from your Custom Locations Library. After your data appears, apply the needed filters such as area, priority, department, or time period. The map view updates instantly to show only the qualif...

Create Story Maps Faster Using Reusable Custom Locations Library

Image
  Mapping projects move faster when teams avoid rebuilding the same set of locations for every task. By using reusable custom locations library, planners can drop verified points onto any map in seconds, keeping work streamlined and eliminating repetitive steps. Key Concept Instead of recreating frequently used GIS points, a reusable library stores them permanently for unlimited use. Each entry holds complete details names, categories, addresses, and custom attributes ensuring clean, consistent data across all maps and teams. Methodology Begin by opening a new map and setting up a new Custom Layer Map with a clear title and description. From there, navigate to Process Customer Locations and pick Add from the Customer Location Library . Select the required points whether individual ones or the entire set and place them on your map instantly.Organize your data visually by applying style categories like Retail, Wholesale, or Service through the Style Editor . Complete the workflow b...
