To manage Bookings efficiently, you need to know where the Vehicles, Staff and Bookings are. The Katipolt Map, if used correctly can provide you with the Information.

The Katipolt Map can display where Vehicles are at the time of looking at the map.

⚠️ NOTE: As Katipolt uses EROAD for vehicle map locations, you will need a valid EROAD Account and Katipolt API connection to see Vehicle geographical locations. For more information on the EROAD API Connection, see the Help Article: "Connected Apps - EROAD (First Connection)"

The Katipolt Map can display where Staff Members were when they last opened their Katipolt Mobile App.

The Katipolt Map can display where Bookings are on any selected day.

Selecting a Staff Member of the "Staff" List of the Map will map a route to all their Bookings for the selected Day that have a current valid NZ Post Address, in the order that Bookings are scheduled, quickly highlighting overlaps or inefficient Booking scheduling.

⚠️ NOTE: Booking Job Site/Addresses that are forced in, I.E. Lot Numbers of a new subdivision that have not been entered into NZ Post's database will not display the Booking on the map, nor have the route mapped.

⚠️ NOTE: For a User to access and launch the Desktop Map, they need to be assigned a Katipolt Role that has “View All Map Resources” toggled “On”.

Katipolt Map uses the Katipolt Mobile App's last opened position for Staff map locations.

For Staff Tracking to display, the Katipolt Mobile App needs "Locations" set to an option that allows location access.

1. From a Staff Member's Profile Page, Scroll down to the "Location Tracking Level" field and Select option "Foreground", then Press [SAVE]

⚠️ NOTE: As Katipolt “Maps” uses the last location the Staff Member opened the Katipolt Mobile App, on selecting “Foreground”, the Staff Member will not display in the Staff List of Maps until the next time they open their Katipolt Mobile App.

2. Tick "Enforce Tracking", if the Staff Member's Katipolt Mobile App's "Locations" is not set to an option that enables location access, when the Katipolt Mobile App is opened the User will be prompted to enable this
