GPS - Tracking your Field Staff via Connect2Field Map
Connect2Field integrates live GPS tracking of your Field Workers using iPhones.. This feature tracks your field workers location every 5 minutes and reports the exact location via the Connect2Field Map feature..
This location tracking feature helps to mange your fleet more effectively and make schedules and dispatch decisions that are based on the information that is gathered in real time..
Let us see how
From your Dashboard, Choose:
1) Job Central
2) Check the job you wish track
3) Click Map
The default map opens for USA
Choose your Field Worker.. For our example we are tracking location for 'Ethan White' our field worker..
Before we proceed, it is worthwhile to understand the Tracking Bar.. See below:
1) Zoom In & Zoom Out
2) Clicking on the arrows clockwise, moves the Map towards North, East, South & West
3) View the map in 2D & 3D.. The 3D creates photo realistic views featuring dense city models.
4) Road: Road view is the default map view and displays vector imagery of roads, buildings, and geography.
Aerial: Aerial view overlays satellite imagery onto the map and highlights roads and major landmarks to be easily identifiable amongst the satellite images.
Bird's Eye: This view gives a better depth perception for buildings and geography.
5) Labels: Click on this to turn on/off the labels on the map. Click the arrow to hide the Navigation Bar..
Road View is the default map view and displays vector imagery of roads, buildings, and geography.
Notice the Status icons below the map.. These are your status guides to different jobs for this field worker.. The current job is 'Started'
Aerial View overlays satellite imagery onto the map and highlights roads and major landmarks to be easily identifiable amongst the satellite images.
Hover your mouse on the Location point for the job and it displays the Job Details..
Clicking on 'Edit' brings up the Job Sheet wherein you can choose to modify the job details..
The Nearest Field Worker Location and Field Worker current location icons work only with the iPhone App and not the WebApp, because GPS needs to be 'on' and tracked for current location..
If a field worker has not logged in for 24 hours, the current location shows as the field worker address put in 'Other Details' page of that user..
As you can see, the Connect2Field Map/Location tracking feature helps to:
1) Manage resources via better fleet supervision
2) Increase staff productivity
3) Improved Customer Service
