Map
The Map answers the question a wall of tables cannot: where is everything, and which site is in trouble right now. It plots every Location in your Organization on a full-screen map, colors each one by its live alarm state, and lets you drill from a dot on the map down to a single Asset's readings without leaving the page.
Workflow Stage: Visualize
Overview
Open Map in the sidebar's Visualization group, next to Dashboards and Diagrams. The app's own navigation slides away and the map takes the whole screen; the Back button in the panel returns to the overview page. The overview page's location list also links here through Map view.
On first load the camera fits itself around all of your Locations, so a single-campus Organization opens on the campus and a statewide fleet opens on the state. The map follows the site's light and dark theme, including the map imagery itself.
Reading the Map
Each dot is a Location. A healthy site is green; a site with at least one active alarm on its equipment turns red. The pill in the bottom-right corner keeps the score, reading for example 1/5 in alarm for one troubled site out of five. When sites sit close together at the current zoom they merge into a numbered cluster; clicking a cluster zooms in until its members separate. Zoom buttons and a compass reset sit alongside.
The panel on the left mirrors the same information as a list. When anything is in alarm, an In Alarm section appears at the top with those sites and a count badge, which is the fastest route to the problem. Below it, All Locations lists every site with a total count and a search box (Search locations...) for finding one by name. A Location drawn with boundaries on its GeoDraw tab also shows those shapes on the map around its marker.
Selecting a Location
Click a marker, or a row in the panel, and the camera flies to that site at the zoom level saved on the Location while a detail panel slides out. Its Overview tab shows the site's active Alarms, each with when it became active and a menu to open the alarm's Details (in place or in a new tab), and the Monitored Variables reported by the site's equipment. The site card also links straight to the site's Dashboard and Diagram when it has them. The remaining tabs cover the Location's details, its Assets, and its metadata.
From the Assets tab, opening an Asset slides out a second panel to the right with that Asset's active Alarms and, on its Data tab, its live Variable values. That is the full drill: map, to site, to machine, to reading, all in one screen.
The Map is a read-only surface. Changing a Location's name, coordinates or boundaries happens on the Locations pages, not here.
Filters and Weather Layers
Two controls float at the top right. The filter (bell icon, Filter Locations) narrows both the map and the panel to All Locations, In Alarm or Not In Alarm; during an incident, filtering to In Alarm leaves only the sites that need attention.
The layers control (Map Layers) overlays live weather on the map: Temperature, Precipitation, Wind Speed or Cloud Cover, one at a time, with an opacity slider and None to switch it off. Weather over the map is genuinely useful in operations: a cluster of sites going red under a storm cell tells a different story than one failing alone.
Putting Locations on the Map
The map plots what the Locations pages define. A Location appears once it has coordinates, set in the Location form's Location & Map Settings card either By Address, searching a map to drop the point, or By Precision, typing latitude and longitude directly. The Map Zoom Level saved there is the zoom the camera flies to when the site is selected. A Location without coordinates still shows in the panel's list but is not drawn on the map.
Site boundaries and shapes come from the Location's GeoDraw tab. The full walkthrough is on the Locations page.
Access
The Map has no permission of its own; any signed-in member of the Organization can open it. What they see is governed by the underlying data permissions, so a user without access to Locations gets an empty map.
Related Workflow Stages
The Map is part of the Visualize stage, alongside Dashboards and Diagrams: dashboards chart the data, diagrams show the electrical topology, and the map shows the geography. It draws on Locations defined during the Connect stage and on live Alarms raised from Collected data, and each site panel links onward to the Dashboards and Diagrams built for that site.
