Locations

The Location library is where you create and manage all Locations for your Project. Locations can be geolocated maps that connect to external layers like ArcGIS or drone flyovers, or static images to represent a zone, floor, or layout. Each Task can be assigned to a Location - which can then be used in filters, to group the plan, or to open Map Views.

Creating a Location

Pick a Location type, set a name and save it to your Project's library.

To create a Location:

• Click your Project Title in the top left

• Select Project Assets

• Select Location from the menu

• Click

• Pick a Location Type; Model Space, Real World or Off Site

• Give your Location a name and select

Map Space Locations

These are real-world Locations with coordinates - similar to Google Earth. You can switch between base maps (satellite or street), and connect external layers to give the team extra context while they’re planning.

Add External Map Layers

You can connect up to 10 external map layers to a Map Space Location. These layers come from tools like ArcGIS or drone services like Propeller, and let your team overlay context - like utilities, survey data, or design drawings - directly in the Map. Layers can be shown or hidden as needed to help mark up work areas or communicate plans more clearly.

To add a Map Layer:

• Click your Project Title in the top left

• Select Project Assets

• Select Location from the menu

• Click into your Map Space Location

• Select

• Paste in your Layer URL and click Continue

• If required, select the correct Credential to access the layer

• Review the Layer Summary and click to add the layer to the Location

Model Space (Drawing) Locations

Model Space Locations use a single uploaded image, like a site GA, floor plan, or layout export as the base for marking up Work Areas.

Uploading a Location Image

• Click your Project Title in the top left

• Select Project Assets

• Select Location from the menu

• Click into your Map Space Location

• Select

• Select the file you want to upload

• Select to add the image to the Location

Replacing a Location Image

• Locate the Location you'd like to replace

• Hover the Image layer and click ...

• Select Replace File

• Upload your replacement image and confirm

Off Site Locations

Off Site Locations are simple placeholders for areas that aren't part of the site map. They're helpful for tagging work that happens elsewhere (like a precast yard) without need for a visual representation.

Off Site Locations cannot be opened in a Map View, and no Work Areas can be marked up on them.

Archiving a Location

Archiving a Location removes it from active use - it can't be opened in Map View or assigned to Tasks. The data is still part of the project's history and you can restore it at any time if you need to bring it back.

To archive a Location:

• Locate the Location you'd like to replace

• Hover the Image layer and click ...

• Select Replace File

• Upload your replacement image and confirm

Assigning a Location to your Tasks

Each Task can be assigned to a Location from your Project's library - the first step in showing that Task on the Map.

To assign a Location:

• On the Gantt, use the Column Picker to enable the Location column

• Click the Location cell for your Task and choose a Location from the dropdown

Group by Location

Group Tasks by Location to organise your plan by where work is happening. It's possible in all View Types, but let's first take a look at grouping by Location on the Gantt:

Group by Location on the Gantt:

• Open a Gantt View

• Click the menu in the top left

• Select Location as the primary grouping

• Tasks will be arranged into groups based on their assigned Location

• Use the ⋮⋮ to drag and reorder groups as needed

Filter by Location

Filter by Location to focus on Tasks happening in a specific area or zone.

To set a Location Filter:

• Click and

• Select Location in the first dropdown

• Select from Is, Is Not, Is Empty in the second dropdown

• Select your desired Location in the third dropdown
