Managing Ed-tech hardware installations across multiple sites is challenging. Field teams face communication gaps, travel delays, and unclear tracking, leaving managers unsure about progress or payments. MAPOG solves scheduling by letting managers assign installation jobs to locations, track status, and verify tasks with completion forms, all seamlessly.
Key Concept: Why Assign Installation Jobs to Locations
When tasks are linked to specific locations, technicians know exactly where to go and what to bring, which helps avoid wasted trips. As a result, managers gain visibility into progress and payments, reducing overlaps, minimizing delays, and ensuring installations finish on time
Steps to assign Installation Jobs to Locations
1. Create a Location Template
Begin by opening MAPOG, then access the Task Management Dashboard to structure and organize workflow.
Click Create New Task. Then, select Create New Custom Location for a new site or Create from Existing Point for ongoing work.
Next, click the settings icon beside Custom Location Template and choose Add More Custom Location Template.
Give your template a title, set geometry to Point, and add attributes like site address (Text), category (Select), and accessibility (Multiselect). Then enable contributor access so users can update details on‑site, save the attributes, and reuse the template across projects.
2. Build Completion Forms
Once the template is ready, move to Completion Form Setup to create a validation form before closing tasks. Select the location template, then add questions for all tasks or customize per task, for example, technical challenges (Multiselect) or photos of stages (Image). Finally, save the form.
3. Launch Projects, Import Sites
Back in the Dashboard, click Create New Map, choose Category as the project type, add title and description, enable Task Management, and save.
Next, navigate to Process Custom Location and select Add by Uploading CSV/Excel to import sites in bulk.
Choose your location template and upload the file.
If a unique ID exists, use it for tracking; otherwise, select Auto‑Generate. Match attributes with Excel columns, choose placement as Latitude & Longitude or WKT, then submit, points will automatically appear on the map.
4. Add and Assign Tasks
Then, click the pencil icon on a point to Edit Custom Location details,
add images or descriptions, and save.
Next, to create a task, select the site, click Add Task, and enter the task title, description, due date, and deal value.
Then choose a task type such as Fix, Change, or Others. If required, customize new types through Manage,
click Add More Task Type, define it, finalize, and save.
Then you can create task‑specific completion forms in Completion Form Setup to add checkpoints for accurate reporting.
Next, set the status to Open or Assigned, and then define priority levels such as Urgent, High, Medium, or Low.
Click Add New Team Member, enter email IDs, and assign roles: Admins (full control over tasks and site details) or Others (limited to assigned tasks) and click Add.
Allow users to edit task locations, then select members from the Assign Team Member dropdown and save. Even, link multiple tasks to one location with different assignees.
5. Customize Map Styles
After assigning tasks, navigate to Map Layers and click Add Layer Style for map clarity.
Then, enable the Legend for interpretation.
For further clarity, click on Label Feature, select the attribute to display, and save labels so they appear on the map.
6. Group By, Filter and Sort Attributes Tool
For better organization, use Group by Attributes to arrange locations by region, type, or status.
Then apply the Filter tool to display attributes such as site category, site address, or client name.
Next, use Sort by to organize sites by name or live distance, prioritizing urgent visits.
Finally, open Map Settings and use the Action Button to add website links or contact numbers.
7. Contributor App and Dashboard Monitoring
Meanwhile, through the MAPOG Contributor App, assignees can view their assigned tasks and filter them by priority level or status.
Update task status as Arrived, Started, or On Hold. Once marked Completed, the completion form appears, allowing onsite comments, images, and videos before submission.
Simultaneously, admins can monitor progress in the Dashboard under Task Management by filtering tasks as per status, type and more.
And then reviewing locations
and tasks completion forms and updating statuses, comments to maintain accountability.
8. Preview and Share
Finally, in Preview and Share, invite users via Add User and assign roles: Editors can edit, add points, and invite but not delete or assign admins; Viewers have read‑only access. You can also share publicly via link or embed.
Industrial use and benefits
Assigning installation jobs to locations isn’t limited to one sector. In fact, it applies to construction crews, manufacturing setups, healthcare equipment, and retail rollouts ,ensuring efficiency, accountability, and timely delivery.
Conclusion
In conclusion, MAPOG simplifies Ed-tech installations across multiple locations. By uniting tasks, assignees, and follow‑ups under one dashboard, it makes coordination clear, trackable, and efficient, turning complex site management into a streamlined process.
