Create Notes


Create geotagged notes on the map about site conditions, service instructions, enhancement opportunities, or safety issues. You can also add images, videos, and property diagrams directly on the property map.

Once you have created the property, you can use the Notes option to monitor the job progress and to gain visibility into the job being done. Using the Notes feature, you can document site conditions, gather client requirements, create site audit reports, and flag service issues.

1. Click on the Note icon on your computer screen as shown in the image below and then move your cursor to the exact coordinate where you want to drop a note. Once you click on that coordinate, a pop-up will appear with the title and description fields.

3. Next, click on the Post button to create a note. At this step, you can also enable any of the given three options as per your requirement. Read more on these features later in this article.

  • You can enable the first option and choose the assignee from the dropdown menu.

  • The second option will help you link the note to the corresponding layer/shape. The layer will be highlighted if this note is selected.

  • Using the third option, you can organize your notes by labeling them against various tags. This option also allows you to create your own tags – select the Enter Custom Tag menu item from the dropdown.

1.4 Layers

Decide what you want to see on your property-map screen – choose the features to be included in your parcel by selecting the specific layers.

What are linked layers?

While creating notes on the property map, you can always drop your notes against a particular feature – parking lot, sidewalk, pavement, turf, etc. These layers, once associated with a noted, are termed linked layers.

You can either link your notes to a specific layer whilst creating the note itself (refer to the Create Notes article above), or open an existing note to which you want to link a layer.

  1. Click on the Notes button on the top-right corner of the page to view the list of notes

  2. Click on the note to which you want to link a layer

  3. Click on the three dots to open the options panel

  4. Choose the Edit option and then select the Next button

  5. Tick the second checkbox to enable the Edit button to be able to link the right layer to the opened note

1.5 Tags

Add tags to the property

To label your property against any essential data, you can use the Tag option by using the suggested keywords, or you can also type the word of your choice and then click Done. The tag icon is given in the ribbon at the top. See the image below.
