The map view in the Shifts module allows you to position on-site stations with pinpoint geographic accuracy. Placing markers directly on the map enables fast shift creation while keeping all ground locations clearly organized.
Steps to Create a Shift on the Map
Access the Shifts Module: From your main event navigation menu, open the Shifts module.
Switch to Map View: At the top of the interface, switch the display layout from List View to Map View.
Manage GPX Tracks: If a GPX track has already been uploaded, it displays on the map automatically.
To add a new course (useful for road races, trails, or specific parade routes), click Track > Add a Track and upload your file.
Place a Pin on the Map:
Navigate the map and click directly on the exact ground location intended for your post.
A pin automatically drops at that location. You can drag and reposition the marker at any time if adjustments are needed.
Open the Creation Wizard: Click Create a Shift. The shift setup wizard opens with the exact GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) pre-filled.
Fill Details and Adjust Settings:
Enter the shift name and operational description.
Link an active GPX track if applicable.
Select the preferred map background layer (e.g., Satellite, Street Map).
Set the default zoom level for on-site staff.
Save the Shift: Click the save/create button at the bottom of the form to finalize your new geolocated shift.
