Viewing Jobs on the Map

  • Updated

This article will guide you through accessing and using the BigChange Map to view jobs. Each job is represented by a different coloured flag on the map, and this article will explain the colours and filters available.

Accessing the Map

  • The Map can be accessed either via the Dashboard view or the dedicated Map link on the top menu.
  • Information within one area of BigChange is shared with all others, ensuring that changes in one area will immediately be updated everywhere, simultaneously. This seamless integration is subject to the permissions or restrictions set by your company's system administrator.
