Overview
The ToolWatch Map allows you to quickly locate and monitor tools and equipment across job sites and warehouses. By combining GPS, Bluetooth (BLE), and Mobile App Barcode Scans, the map provides a real-time snapshot of where assets are and when they were last scanned.
Key Features of the Map
Filters for Locations and Items: Choose stock or non-stock locations and filter by item category to focus your view.
Map and Satellite Views: Switch between standard map and satellite imagery.
Legend and Shading: Easily identify scan types (GPS, BLE, barcode) and use shading to see how recently data was updated.
Hover-Over Cards: Get quick details about items, including model and assignment, without leaving the map.
Links to Details: Click directly into Item Detail or Model Detail pages.
Step 1: Open the Map
From the left menu, select Tracking → Map.
Use the filter panel on the left to select the locations and item categories you want to display.
Step 2: Use the Legend and Shading
Click the legend icon in the top right corner of the map.
Review the icons for GPS scans, BLE scans, barcode scans, and stock vs. non-stock locations.
Use shading to quickly judge data freshness:
Dark icon = 0–24 hrs (fresh data)
Medium shading = 1–7 days
Light shading = 7–30 days
Gray outline = 30+ days
Step 3: Hover for Quick Details
Hover over an icon on the map.
A pop-up card will appear with item details:
Item name and number
Model description
Assigned location
Step 4: Navigate to Item or Model Detail Pages
From the hover card, click Item Detail or Model Detail for more information.
This provides full history, scans, and assignment information.
Step 5: Watch the Map in Action
