Map

It displays the coordinates of a site or any records that have coordinates. The map widget will only be available if the user has a valid access token. Doc on how to add the access token is found: Map - Access Token Setup.

API: Map

For the coordinates to get displayed, the site or record must have a geoCoord tag that contain the latitude and longitude values. Example query to use in the Map query field could be readAll(geoCoord) or site etc.

Adding a geoCoord tag to a site

  1. Select the App Launcher icon on the top left

  2. Select the DB Builder tile under System Integrator Apps

  3. Select the Equip Tree, this will expand a drop-down menu to see the sites associated with your project

  4. Select on a site, this will open a Essentials tab that will contain information regarding the site

  5. Fill in both the latitude and longitude property fields.

    1. A way to get the latitude and longitude values is via Google Maps.

    2. First, find the location you want to get the coordinates from.

    3. Then right click on the pin in Google Maps to find the latitude and longitude values.

    4. Click on the latitude and longitude to copy to clipboard.

    5. Paste on a notepad.

    6. Then copy each value and paste in the respective latitude and longitude field.

  6. Once filled in, select the Save button on the bottom right. The site now has a geoCoord tag with the latitude and longitude values and will be visible on the Map widget.

Dynamic Color Pins

On the geoCoord record, the user can add a string tag called “color” with the value being the color they want. The value can be the name of the color or hex value of the color. This would allow each geoCoord have their own unique colors if needed.

There are various websites to get the hex color codes, below are a few:

Duplicate

  • This will duplicate the selected widget, and will appear at the bottom. If a point has been assigned prior to duplicating the widget, the point will also be included.

2. Click on the Delete option to delete the widget
