Live locations

Live locations is a dispatch board. It pairs each unassigned ticket with the technicians closest to it, using the locations technicians share while they are on shift.

Step 1 of 4

Open the board

On the web, select Live locations under Workforce. In the mobile app, open More and tap Live locations.

The top line counts who is on duty, who is sharing a location and the total, with the time of the last update. It refreshes every 30 seconds.

Unassigned tickets

The 50 newest tickets still waiting for a technician are listed with their priority and address. Under each are the 3 nearest technicians who are on duty and recently seen, with open jobs and the distance in km.

Select Directions next to a technician to open the route from them to the site in your maps app. Select Assign to open the ticket's assign page.

  • Pin found from the typed address: the pin came from the address, so check it if a distance looks wrong.
  • No map pin for this site: distances can't be worked out. Edit the ticket and add the pin.

Field team

Every active technician and corporate account is listed with their duty state, when they were last seen, and how fresh the position is: Live (within 5 minutes), Recent (within 30 minutes) or Stale.

Rows also show the location's accuracy and the current job with its status. Select Map to open the person's position in your maps app.

When a location is shared

Technicians share their location only while their shift is on. When they end the shift, sharing stops and their last position is deleted, so off-duty people show Off duty with no position.

Tips

  • A Stale position can be far from where the person is now. Call before you rely on it.
  • If nobody shows near a ticket, check whether the team has started their shifts.

Frequently asked questions

Who can open Live locations?
Anyone who can assign tickets, which is Super Admins and Operations Managers by default.
Why does a technician show No location yet?
They are on shift but their phone hasn't sent a position yet, or location access is off on their phone.
Can I see where someone was earlier today?
No. The board shows the latest position only, and nothing is kept after the shift ends.
