LOCATION TAB

The Location tab is dedicated to precisely defining the location where services will be rendered and characterizing the site.

Via the client's contract, access the "Location" tab

  1. Use the search tools to find the desired contract.
  2. Click on its address to open the contract details.
  3. Finally, go to the second tab.

Definition Process: The definition process starts with the fields at the top of the window.

Fields to Fill:

Location Details - The first part at the top of the window:


  1. Location: Address, City, Postal Code, Province, and Type of location.
  2. Parking Details: Area, Width, number of parking spaces, surface materials, Slope, and Additional.
  3. Property Details: Sidewalk Area and information about the carport.
Save Button: The Save button at the bottom of the screen allows you to retain the information entered in the different fields.

Geocoding - The second part of the window

This involves geocoding the location, which allows delineating the regions of the property where operations will occur.
This section is divided into three parts:

  1. Zones.
  2. Satellite map.
  3. Street view.

Zones:

The first column displays different zones (geocodings) created, including Terrain, Parking, Sidewalk, Building, and Lawn.

Terrain geocoding delimits the entire property where services under the contract are provided. It informs the FolloTrack application, triggering the visit procedure upon the operator entering the client's property. To expedite the process, extend Terrain geocoding to the middle of the street in front of the property, making it mandatory and unique.
Other geocoding types (Parking, Sidewalk, Building, and Lawn) establish the area of different zones useful in the Services tab, recommending meticulous tracing for precision.

How to Trace Geocoding:

Create a new geocoding by clicking "Add" in the first column.

  1. Press the drop-down list to choose the desired type.
  2. Enter the name in the field below.
  3. Press the green floppy disk to save.
  4. Click on the pencil icon of the desired zone, move the cursor over the satellite map, click once to anchor, and then outline the shape by clicking around the zone. To end, click the first point added (anchor point).
Modify characteristics by pressing the zone name. For existing geocoding, click the pencil icon associated, adjust points for shape modification, and save the changes.

Recommendation: Extend geocoding to the middle of the street for efficient visit recording once snow is cleared by operator.

Deleting a Zone: Click on the red trash bin icon to delete the zone.

Creating Multiple Zones: Click "Add" and select the zone to geocode. For instance, use the SIDEWALK filter to define a bordering zone.

Note: Only the Terrain-type zone is considered by the tablet; others help determine property area for contract cost.

Satellite Map:

The map has several features accessible via icons.
Map Display Icons:
  1. Satellite Image 
  2. Geographic Map 
  3. Full-Screen Mode 
  4. Map Tilt 
  5. Pegman Control 
  6. Zoom Level Control
