Understand the Notifications and Work Order Monitor

Get a real-time geographic overview of your operational health. Visualize the status, location, and priority of field activities directly on a map. This allows dispatchers to prioritize high-risk emergencies instantly, optimize travel routes for nearby facility clusters, and trigger new service requests directly from the map interface.

Access the monitor

Navigate to Features > Core > Work Order Management > Notification and WO Monitor.

Configure cartographic settings

To configure the system for cartographic clients that support the daily plan, monitoring notifications, and monitoring WOs:

  1. Navigate to Configuration > Core > Cartography > Geocoding > Normalization Settings.

  2. Enter:

    • Country: The map’s country.

    • Normalization table: A table from the drop-down menu.

    • Active: Whether the configuration is active

    • Default: Whether this is the default setting.

    • Query config: The cartographic query configuration.

      • Note: To get this configuration, navigate to Configuration > Core > Cartography > Gis > Layer > Query Layer.

    • Map config: A supported base map for the cartographic client.

  3. Click Insert.

Configure the GIS layer

Add functional data over the base map, like cable routes, plant layouts, or service zones. To configure various GIS layers:

  1. Navigate to Configuration > Core > Cartography > Gis > Layer > New Layer.

  2. Enter:

    • Name: The layer’s name.

    • Service: The layer’s service.

    • Service type: The technical service type.

    • Visible layers: The folder’s access path with layout images.

    • Sorting: The layer’s priority.

    • Active: Whether the layer is active.

    • Visible: Whether the layer is visible to users.

    • Opacity: The opacity percentage of the map layer.

  3. Click Save.

Technical Service Types

The monitor supports these industry-standard geospatial services:

  • WMS / ESRI Map Server: Renders geo-registered map image.

    • E.g. A digital image of a pipe network.

  • WFS / ESRI Feature Server: Allows interaction with specific map elements, redlining (map editing), and augmented reality.

  • XYZ (OpenLayers only): Loads high-detail plant layouts from image directories.

  • Geometry (OpenLayers only): Draw shapes to manually group technical objects or define specific service zones.

Understand capabilities by operational template

The interface adapts as you manage fixed assets or a distributed workforce.

Use the plant template

Manage technical objects in specific sites, like factories and railway stations, through:

  • Asset location: Pinpoint every facility within a plant’s layout.

  • RFI integration: Query specific client services directly from the map.

  • Direct interaction: To open new maintenance notifications, select a facility icon.

  • Status tracking: Facilities and WOs change shape and color based on their current status and priority.

Use the WFM template

Manage distributed service requests across wide territories:

  • Operations center view: Locate regional OCs and their service areas.

  • Territorial monitoring: Track WOs’ progress as they move across the map.

  • Geographic querying: Select specific geographic areas to monitor active notifications and resource distribution.

Edit with advanced geometry

When you specify the geometry service type, customize the map's operational data:

  • Draw shapes: Represent "High Priority" zones or restricted areas with polygons.

  • Visual styling: Set border colors, opacity, and transparency.

  • Zoom controls: Define when specific layers become visible.
