Show Work Order/Request Location

web map_WO loc web map_req loc

The Show Work Order Locations and Show Work Request Locations tools are used to locate and display a filtered set of work order or work request locations. Each tool contains four tabs of options, which can be used to control the output of the tool.

 

Filter Tab

The Filter tab lists filters from the Work Order or Request module. Only items in a selected filter are displayed when the tool is run.

Note: Mark My Filters Only to only show filters for the currently logged in user.

 

Dates Tab

The Dates tab helps users narrow down the records that have already been selected (using the Filter tab) based on the Work Order Start Date or the Date Request Received. Mark the Filter on Start Date of Work and then select a Start and End date.

Spatial Filter Tab

The Spatial Filter tab allows users to narrow down the records already selected (using the Filter tab) based on their location. They can specify the area by drawing a polygon in the map, or selecting a polygon from another feature class.

Use Clustering for Results Display

  • Radius
  • Cluster Size

Declutters the map by presenting nearby Work Order/Request locations as clusters.

When users view locations after running the tool, the system groups Work Orders that are in close proximity as a cluster. Clicking on a cluster expands it so that users can drill down and see some individual Work Order information without zooming in. As users zoom in, the locations ungroup and display their individual locations. This option is enabled by default.

  • The Radius dictates how close together locations must be to be grouped.
  • The Cluster Size puts a cap on how many records a cluster can hold and still expand. If a cluster exceeds this number, users must zoom in until the cluster breaks down into smaller clusters before they can expand them.

Color code based on field

Color codes the location dots based on a field you designate.

  1. Check the Color code.... box.
  2. Select a field in the drop-down box on which to base the color coding.
  3. Choose a Color Scheme.

If a Work Order has Addresses/XYs and Assets

Tells the program which information to use for the Location search when a Work Order has both Assets and Address/XY Information.

Note: This option only affects the Work Order Location tool.

Do not retrieve comment information

Omits Comment data from the search, and thereby, processes the search faster. Unmark this box to search Comments that are attached to Work Orders or Requests.
