Concepts and Map Navigation

A summary of map related concepts is as follows:

Symbols

Your Location

I am here (reportedly). When you access the map it will centre on your location and show this symbol. 

Note : This location will be impacted by your mobile device location settings (if on mobile) your ISP point of access if via a desktop browser.

Object Cluster

This is an object cluster. In can contain Work Orders and Technical Objects. On select the map will zoom down and may split the cluster into smaller blocks of clusters. 

The color of the cluster will change depending on the due status of any Work Orders that it includes:

• Red - Contains overdue Work Orders
• Orange - Contains Work Orders inside the start and end dates
• Green - Contains Work Order not yet within the start date
• Blue - Contains no Work Orders only technical objects

Features

This symbol denotes a single Feature. This is the default icon, but you can edit the icons for each layer type and, for linear and polygons, the use of lines and shaded areas is now used. Here's some examples:

Default	Road Sign - Warning	Road Sign - Location
