The Map gives you a live, bird's-eye view of your business on a map — where your scheduled work is, where your projects and customers are, and where your crews are. It's a monitoring view: a quick way to see what's happening and where, without digging through lists.
Where to find the Map
Choose Map from the left sidebar.
How the screen is laid out
| Area | What it does |
|---|---|
| Tabs (top left) | Switch what the side list shows: Accounts, Projects, Tasks, or Employees. |
| Date & Team | Pick a date and, optionally, a single crew. The map and the Tasks list narrow to scheduled work for that day and crew. |
| Search | Find a specific account, project, task, or person by name. |
| Layers (colored dots) | Show or hide each type of marker on the map — Tasks (orange), Projects (green), Accounts (blue), Employees (blue), Clock In (green) and Clock Out (grey). |
| Side list (left) | The items for the active tab. Click any one to fly the map to it. |
| Map | Color-coded pins for everything that's switched on. Markers cluster when zoomed out. |
The Map is read-only — it's for seeing where things are, not for changing them. To schedule or reassign work, use the Schedule.
The four views
Tasks
The default view. Shows the tasks scheduled for the selected date — each with its status, budgeted hours, crew, and project. Click a task to center the map on its job site. Use the date and team pickers to see a specific crew's day.
Projects
Every project that has a location on the map.
Each project shows whether its job site is marked by a simple Radius (a circle around a point) or a precise Geofence (a drawn boundary). Click a project to jump to it. If you have permission, you can draw or adjust a project's geofence right on the map — useful for defining exactly where a job site begins and ends.
Accounts
Your customers and vendors that have an address — clients in blue, vendors in grey. Click one to center the map on its location.
Employees
Team members with a recent location, so you can see where your people are. Click a name to center the map on them. (Showing employee locations is permission-controlled.)
Clock in and clock out pins
Beyond the four side-list views, the map also plots where crews actually clocked in and out on the selected date. These are their own layers, switched on and off with the Clock In and Clock Out dots in the Layers group.
- IN pins (green) are shown by default — they mark where a crew started work.
- OUT pins (grey) are hidden by default, because a clock-out usually sits on the same spot as its clock-in and would simply cover it. Switch the layer on when you want to see where crews finished.
Click a pin to see the punch in full: the time, the team, the project and tasks it was against, everyone who was on the clock, and the GPS accuracy of the reading. If the punch was recorded outside the project's geofence, the popup says so in amber — a quick way to spot someone who clocked in before they reached the job site.
Clock pins follow the date picker, and the Team picker narrows them to one crew like everything else on the screen. Only punches that recorded a location appear — a clock-in taken with location services off has nothing to plot. An open punch is treated as forgotten and drops off the map once it's more than a day old, so yesterday's un-closed clock-in doesn't linger on today's view.
Seeing these pins needs time-clock permission. If your role doesn't include it, the Clock In and Clock Out layers simply stay empty.
Tips
- Start with the date. The Tasks view is tied to the day you pick — set it first to see the right schedule.
- Declutter with the dots. Turn off marker types you don't need so the map shows only what you're looking at.
- Check the morning's clock-ins. Leave the Clock In layer on and pick today's date to see at a glance which crews have started and where — and whether anyone punched in away from the job site.
- Click to fly. Any row in the side list re-centers the map on that item — faster than panning around.
- Pick a crew. Choose a team to focus the map on just that crew's day, then Clear team to see everyone again.
