View and Select Assets on the Map

You can select assets from the map by drawing a rectangle using the Select icon or by tapping on the map.

If you navigate to the map from a work activity, the activity icon is displayed on top of the GIS assets. If you navigate to the map from an asset, the asset is displayed on top of any work activity icons.

When selecting assets on a floor-aware map, the results are automatically filtered to show only the items on your currently selected level.

NOTE: You can choose which layers and work activities on the map are selectable. See Toggle the Visibility and Selection of Layers for more information.

Assets appear as icons on the map that you can view and select.

You can open an asset from the asset details page. See View Asset Details for more information.

NOTE: If an associated asset is unavailable in the currently active web map or offline map area, certain actions (e.g. Take Action, Map icon) are unavailable. Tapping the asset card displays an error message instead of opening the Asset Details page.

  • Outside of Currently Active Web Map: If the associated asset is not included in the current web map's available features, a message appears explaining the asset cannot be displayed because its corresponding GIS feature layer is not included in the currently active web map.
  • Offline Map Area: If the associated asset is not available in the offline area, a message appears explaining to sync or download the relevant map area to view the asset details.
  1. Open an asset.

The map opens and the work activity pin is highlighted, along with any associated assets or related work activities.

You can perform the following actions from this view: 

  • Asset Card: Tap to return to the asset details page.
  • Create: Tap to create a work activity associated to the asset.
  • Map icon: Tap to view the asset on the map.
  • More: Tap to access more actions.
  • Locate: Tap to locate the asset.
  • Directions: Tap to open driving directions to the asset.
  • Web: Tap to open the asset in the web application.

NOTE: On floor-aware web maps, viewing an activity or asset (such as tapping the Map icon or the Zoom icon) automatically centers the map on the building and switches the view to the corresponding level. This ensures you are viewing the data in its correct vertical context. See Select Floor Tool for more information.
