Navigation: DIARY & SCHEDULE > MONITOR > DASHBOARD
The Dashboard - or "sitters map" - gives you "live" GPS data on the "last seen" location of all your sitters that have work scheduled for them during the working day.
This data is activated by staff checking-in and out of jobs.
Note: to enable GPS notifications and reporting to function accurately, it is essential the the client's home address is set correctly on the client map. See Setting the Client Location for more information.
How do I view the Sitters map?
-
As soon as one of your sitters has checked-in the map will display.
-
The "live" location of each sitter is indicated on the map with a location marker which displays the sitter's initials, eg. DH for Daniel.
-
Click on the marker to see more detail of which job the sitter has last checked-in or out.
-
You can see a full description of the sitter name, check-in or out date and timestamp, plus the client name and the service description.
-
Zooming in or out will display a much greater accuracy for the sitter's exact location when they checked-in or out.
-
Click on the "+" button to zoom in.
-
Hold the mouse button down to move the map around if you need to move the area you want to see.
-
Click on the "Satellite" button to get a more realistic and less simplified view of the area around the sitter's location.
-
To see the street view in the google map, drag the "person" icon over to the sitter's location marker and release the mouse button.
-
From street view, you can then navigate around the area. This could be useful if you needed to direct a sitter to a new client's home address.
-
To return to the map view, click the "back" arrow at the top of the map.
