When a plan has been added to a location on a project, you will need to specify the work area(s) by dropping a pin(s) in the relevant location.
This article shows you how zones and pins can be identified on a plan, and how to drop pins on the mobile and web application. 🗺️
Viewing Permits on Plans
Web App
To view plans on Web, you will find a Plans menu option in the Project's left-hand sidebar, then click on the desired Plan to open the Plan View.
When viewing a plan, it's important to understand the different coloured Zones:
Active Zones in Blue
Active Zones are defined as having a Permit in that Zone. This is to represent which areas of your site have work happening.
Inactive Zones in Grey
Inactive Zones are defined as not having an active permit in that Zone.
Note: By default, the Filters (top left) are set for Active Permits. If the Filters are changed, you'll notice that the number of Pins and grey/blue zones may change.
Navigating the Plan
You can use Filters, and click on Zones and Pins to find the information you're looking for.
Clicking on a Zone will filter the right-hand sidebar to show only the permits in that Zone
Clicking on a Pin will filter the sidebar by that permit
Apply filters to change what's displayed both on the plan and in the right-hand sidebar
Mobile App
To view plans on Mobile, you will find a Plan View menu option on the Home page, then tap on the desired Plan to open the Plan View.
Note: See the Web section above for the description of the different coloured zones.
Navigating the Plan
You can use Filters, and click on Zones and Pins to find the information you're looking for.
Tapping on a Zone will filter the right-hand sidebar to show only the permits in that Zone
