Finding Parts for Estimates Using the Map
When working from the Maintenance Console or the Maintenance mobile app, you can find parts by Part Code and location, and display the storage locations for the part on a map. Use the map to facilitate selecting the nearest location that has the right number of parts.
To use this feature:
- You can work from the Maintenance mobile app or from the Maintenance Console.
- The storage location must be associated with a building that has been geocoded.
You can access the map from:
- Maintenance Console: Estimate Work Request (single work request or multiple). Expand the Estimate and Reserve Parts section to see the Add Part button.
- Maintenance Console: Work Request / Update Work Request
- Maintenance mobile app: Estimate - Parts tab
The Storage Location Map tab
The Storage Location Map tab shows the location of both storage locations, and work requests. .
The map displays:
- Buildings that contain storage locations.
- The building that contains the work request. You can zoom in on the work request building by clicking the Locate icon in the top panel.
- A red / yellow / green “status” of each storage location, based on the storage locations Quantity Available, compared to the quantity for the estimate entered in the Filter.
- A yellow marker for storage locations that have the part, but not in the quantity requested
- A white marker that shows the work request location, if the work request contains a Building Code that is geocoded. The map is centered on that building by default. The work request location is displayed above the map, along with a Locate icon. You can click this icon at any time to re-center the map to the work request building.
Note: If a storage location building is the same building as the work request, then the white dot does not appear.
