The sidebar label is Pin Map. The page title at the top is Road Hazard Map.
Layout
The map fills the main area. Along the top of the page you will see actions such as Filters, Refresh, and Layers. When filters or layers are open, extra panels appear beside the map on wide screens or stack above or below it on smaller screens.
A small toolbar floats on the map itself with quick controls for navigation, search, basemap selection, fullscreen, and a scale bar. These controls work the same way on the Heat Map and Coverage Map.
Moving around the map
- Pan: click and drag on the map.
- Zoom: use the zoom controls on the map or your trackpad or mouse wheel, if your browser supports it.
- Home: click the home control in the on-map toolbar to reset the view to your default extent.
- Search: use the search control in the on-map toolbar to jump to an address or place.
- Fullscreen: expand the map to fill your browser window. Press Esc or use the same control to exit.
- Scale bar: a scale indicator at the edge of the map shows current map distance and updates as you zoom.
Basemap
Use the basemap control in the on-map toolbar to switch the underlying map style. Options include:
- Streets: standard street map with labels.
- Light and Dark: muted backgrounds that make hazards and overlays stand out.
- Satellite: aerial imagery for visual context.
- Terrain: shaded relief for elevation context.
- Traffic: street map with live traffic where available.
Switching basemaps preserves your active filters, layers, and selection. Reference layers reapply automatically after the change.
Hazard scope (some organizations)
If your organization type supports it, you may see a control labeled Hazard scope with choices such as Owned by my org and All in our boundary. That choice changes which road issues load for the map. If you do not see it, your workspace uses a single scope.
Filters
- Click Filters to open the Filters panel.
- Adjust type, status, and priority range to match what you want to see.
- The map updates to show only hazards that match.
Click Filters again to hide the panel. Your filter choices stay in effect until you change them.
Layers
Layers opens the layers panel. There you can:
- Turn GIS reference layers on or off (eye icons).
- Change opacity with the slider for a layer when that control is available.
- Expand a connection to see its layers.
- Reorder layers by dragging when drag handles are shown, so overlapping layers draw in the order you prefer.
- Style by attribute when a layer offers it. Pick a field (for example a status, condition, or category) to color features by value. Each unique value gets its own color in the legend. Switch back to a single color, or pick a different field, at any time.
Layers come from connections your workspace administrators configure. If the list is empty, no extra map layers are set up for your organization. Each layer loads in full, even when the source server returns it in pages, so what you see on the map matches what is published.
Layer rows may show loading or error states. If a layer fails, try Refresh or contact a workspace administrator.
Selecting a hazard or feature
Click a hazard on the map. The pin is highlighted so it is easy to keep track of, and a side panel (drawer) opens with details, images when available, and work order actions that apply to your role and the hazard.
You can also click a feature on a GIS reference layer (for example a parcel, asset, or segment). The feature is highlighted and a popup appears with its key attributes. From the popup, choose View details (or the equivalent action) to open the full feature details drawer with every attribute the source layer publishes.
Close the drawer or click an empty area of the map to clear the selection and return to the full map.
Work orders from the map
From the hazard drawer you can create or update work orders when your permissions allow. You can also open Group Maintenance when a hazard belongs to a group work order. For a full walkthrough of statuses and groups, see Work Orders.
The dashboard does not include a dedicated distance or area measurement tool on the map. Use filters, layers, and the drawer to inspect locations.
