Map

Who can use this feature?

Project Users with Full Planner Access can create and open Map Views.

Map View gives you a visual way to track work on site. Use it for daily coordination, spotting clashes, creating automatic staging diagrams, or to walk others through what’s happening; where, when & who. Maps can be simple floor plans or real-world maps with coordinates, and can connect to external layers like GIS data or drone imagery.

Every Task on the Map is tied to the schedule, so when the plan moves, the Map automatically updates too.

Open a Map View


Each Project can have multiple Maps. From static Site GAs to geolocated Maps - pick the one you want to view and work with. You'll only see Tasks linked to that Map.

To open a Map View:

  • Click + Views at the top of the View Tabs

  • Scroll through Views you & your team have created, or Views Aphex has provided

  • Click the Date Range at the top of the Map

  • Pick one of the shortcuts: Today, Next Week, This Month or use the calendar to select a specific date range

  • Use the < arrows >


The Task List on Map Views can be organised into different groups, depending on what type of set up you need.

  • Click at the top of the Map View

  • Select how you want to group tasks


Clicking a task on the Map will open its full details in a panel, right on top of the Map. You can view, update or progress the Task without moving away from your current view.

  • Click any Task Card from the section on the left hand-side

  • Or, click the Work Area on the Map and then the icon

  • Click and select Work Area Colour

  • Pick from Subcontractor, Owner or Shift

  • Click and select Highlight Issues

  • Pick from Clashes or Overdue Blockers


Filters in Aphex let you show only what matters, whether that’s Tasks with certain properties, or ones that are missing something. Keep it simple or build something more detailed, it's up to you.

  • Click at the top of the Map

  • In the dropdown that appears select and choose the property you'd like to filter by

  • Change the logic from options like or to or to hide or reveal the relevant Tasks

Markups turn the map into a richer planning surface where you can annotate visual context using polygons, arrows, text, and icons across named layers you can toggle on or off - ideal for traffic layouts, briefing notes, and risk callouts. Kept entirely separate from scheduled work, they never affect clashes, connected external layers, or work areas.

  • Open a Map View

  • Click into the tab in the left-hand panel

  • Click

  • Use the Editor menu to add polygons, arrows, text or icons to your layer

If you want to add more mark-ups later, just click the Layer title in the left-hand panel to bring up the Editor menu.

To create and annotate Markup Layers:

Markup Layer rules
  • Markup layer order is user-specific and isn't saved as part of the view definition

  • There is no limit on how many can be created

  • Once created, markups are available to the whole project (they're not personal/private)

  • Markups are attached to the location, not the view

  • Markups are not linked to a task
