- In blue, ongoing tasks ;
- In green, completed tasks ;
- In red, cancelled tasks ;
- In orange, rescheduled tasks.
Understanding the Geo-fence
The validation of a task is time-stamped and geo-referenced. The geofencing makes it possible to know if the field worker was in the expected area at the time of the validation of a task. A circle next to the scheduled time of arrival is used to determine the position of the field worker at the time of validation.
Here is the color code used to understand the Geo-fence :
- Green: the field worker was in the area ;
- Orange: the field worker was out of the area ;
- Grey: the geolocation was not activated.
