Map Dashboard – Permit to Work Layer

FacilityBot allows users to add a Permit to Work (PTW) layer on the map dashboard. This layer displays active permits with annotated locations to be displayed on a map.

To enable this feature,

  • Log in to the FacilityBot Web Portal.
  • Go to “Features”“Permit to Work”“Manage Permit Types”
  • Hover over the permit type you wish to configure and click the pen icon to edit.
  • Tick the box labeled ‘Require provision of permit to work location on a map’ to enable permits to appear on the map dashboard. Click save. Now, applicants can annotate a map to indicate the exact location where work will be conducted.

To annotate the permit to work in the map,

  • Go to “Features”“Permit to Work”“New Permit Applications”
  • Click on the permit type box and choose the relevant PTW Type.
  • Complete the PTW checklist, scroll down, and click ‘Specify location on a map.’
  • Using the drawing tools, annotate the location on the map. You may use a line, polygon, rectangle, or circle. Click OK once done.
  • A check mark will appear beside the ‘Specify location on map’ button. Now, set the start and end dates for the permit, then click submit.
  • To view the Permit to Work Layer, go to the dashboard page and select “Map.” Click on the layers icon.
  • In the Layers menu, check the box to display the Permit to Work layer. You can also filter permits by date range or select the ‘today’ filter for a real-time view.
  • Click on any annotated permit location on the map to view its details.

This feature enhances visibility and tracking of permits, ensuring better compliance and coordination in the workplace.
