Admin and Normal Users can add points in a Pinpoint Works work list site. Guest users cannot add or edit points. Please see our guide on Managing Users for more information on the different levels of access available in Pinpoint Works.
Adding Points
Add points by clicking the blue ‘New Point’ button above the work list.
By default, Canceled and Completed points are not displayed. They can be seen by clicking the 'Filter button' next to the keyword search box and ticking the boxes for Canceled and/or Completed points. See the Search & Filter article to learn more.
After clicking the 'new point' button, a blank job card opens over the page.
By default, the Status will be set to ‘Open’ and the Priority will be set to ‘Medium’ unless set otherwise.
Description information can be made using rich text (bold, italics, underline, bullet points, numbering) directly in the description box. Any changes will be saved after pressing the Save button in the Description field. Use the @ symbol on your keyboard or click the @ symbol on the rich text menu to @mention a user directly in the Description field. This user will receive an in app notification with this update.
Attachments, such as images and documents, can be added by browsing your device or dragging and dropping into the “Attachments” section. Files can be downloaded and saved by all users. Only Admin and Normal Users types can delete files and annotate images. Attachments can be renamed using the pencil icon.
Create a point without a location or click on the site plan to activate it to pinpoint a location on the site plan.
Use the zoom in/out (+ -) buttons and pan and zoom to navigate to the correct location.
Use the pin/area toggle to choose between dropping a pin or selecting an area on the site plan.
Drop up to 20 location pins per point. Click to add new pins and click and hold to drag and drop the pins into different locations or drag them to the bin icon at the bottom of the screen to delete.
Select a full area by dropping as many pins as needed to designate the shape. Click and hold the shape to drag and drop it into a different area or drag it to the bin icon at the bottom of the screen to delete it.
After filling the appropriate fields and adding media files as needed, click the blue ‘Create Point’ button at the bottom of the work list card. (If no location is set, the button will say 'Create point without location'.)
Once saved, the new point will be available in the work list table to edit later.
Note: By default all points, including those with and without locations, will appear in the worklist table. Open the filter menu to filter points by location or those without locations attached.
Editing Points
Select a point on the work list table to edit details, add files, and make comments. If you have the site plan or general arrangement open, the point card will open in a half-page view. To expand the card, click the double arrow icon next to the ‘x’ icon in the top right corner.
Scroll through points using the up and down arrow buttons above the point details.
Return to the full work list by clicking the ‘x’ button in the top right corner.
Click the 3-vertical dot icon to export the selected point to an individual PDF report or Word document.
Click the 3-vertical dot icon to delete a point. Only Admin users can delete points. Once a point is deleted all information entered for that point is lost. Please use the ‘Canceled’ or ‘On Hold’ statuses where appropriate.
To make changes to Custom Fields, enter the information, then click outside of the custom field box. Changes to custom fields are successfully saved when the green tick button displays next to the changed field. For Rich Text custom fields, use the @ symbol on your keyboard or click the @ symbol on the rich text menu to @mention a user directly. @Mentions made in the Rich Text custom field type will notify this user of the change in the notification panel.
Edit the pin location by expanding the point card, then pan and zoom and click on the new location. Multiple pins may also be added, changed or deleted here.
Add media files and documents by browsing or dragging/dropping files to the job card in the ‘Attachments’ section. Files can be downloaded and saved. Attachments can be renamed by clicking the pencil icon next to the attachment. A pop-up dialog box will appear to rename the file.
Note: A 360 camera is needed for adding 360 photos.
