What this guide covers

This guide explains how to set and manage locations for team members. Home base locations help dispatchers make smarter assignment decisions based on proximity to job sites.

Setting a home base

  1. Navigate to /team.
  2. Open the member's profile.
  3. Click the Location tab.
  4. Enter the Home Base Address using the address autocomplete.
  5. Click Save.

The home base represents where the member starts their day, usually their home address or a company depot.

How locations are used

When dispatching jobs:

Viewing live locations on the map

Open Live Map to see technicians who are actively sharing their current location. Customer properties with saved map pins appear on the same map so dispatchers can compare crew position to service addresses and buildings without switching screens.

Live crew positions update automatically while technicians are sharing their location. If you leave the page open for a while, switching back to the tab also refreshes the view.

Use the map layer filters to show or hide Crew and Properties. Each layer shows a live count, and the map refits to the enabled layers when filters change.

Updating locations

If a member moves or changes their starting location:

  1. Open their Location tab.
  2. Clear the current address and enter the new one.
  3. Click Save.

The change applies immediately to future dispatch suggestions.

Tip: Even if you do not use route optimization, setting home bases gives dispatchers a visual reference for proximity when looking at the schedule map view.

Note: Home base locations are visible to workspace admins only. Team members can see their own location on their profile but not other members' locations.
