When you create sites with safe zones (geofences), you can add asset icons to plan the locations of static assets and site information:

  • These asset icons allow you to map out where assets or specific areas should be on site, such as for marker boards or a site access point.

  • Asset icons can then be paired with the Tended devices to sync to a device and track their live location: no more leaving or misplacing equipment.


How to plan an individual asset location

  1. Log in to your Tended Dashboard

  2. Click "Projects" in the left-hand side bar to access the site page

  3. Find your project and click "View project" to add an asset to an existing site or "Start a new project" to add an asset icon to a new site

  4. You should now be at the project overview page. To add asset icons you need to open a site with your geofences

    1. You can either add a new site by clicking "Create site" and filling out the details

    2. Or go via an existing site by clicking the "Edit site" button

  5. You should now see the edit site page, click "Next step"

  6. You will now be at the site map page. Click "Add asset" in the bottom left corner

  7. You can create a new asset type here or add an existing asset type. To add an existing asset type:

    1. Click on the asset type you'd like to add to this site

    2. The asset icon will show on the site map. Click and drag this icon into place

      For example: where a marker board or plant will be on site, or to highlight your safe site access point

  8. You can repeat this for as many assets as you'd like. Then click "Done"


How to bulk place asset planned locations

Use the information in your safe work pack to plan the locations of multiple site assets at once.

πŸ’‘ Tended tips:

  • Plan the locations of all possession limit boards for the site at once by entering the ELRs, miles and chains

  • Use What3words (W3Ws) to plan the locations of all access points for a project or rout

  1. Locate the site you want to add the planned asset locations too, click "Edit site"

  2. From the site planning page, click "Bulk place assets"

  3. A modal will pop up where you will enter the asset information

  4. Click the "Asset type" drop down and choose the asset type you want to place*

  5. Then add in the location information by:

    1. ELR, miles and chains, OR

    2. What3words, OR

    3. Coordinates

  6. Type in the location information, then click the "+" button. You'll then see confirmation of the asset location in the modal

  7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 with all asset information you have, usually found in your safe work pack. All asset locations will show in the "Pending assets" list

  8. When you've entered all asset information, click "Add assets"

  9. The asset planned locations will then show on your site map.

    1. You can use the ELR reference overlay to check locations of limit boards
