Locations Tool (web) - Beta Access and Feedback

The Locations (Beta) tool is available on Procore Explore. The features and documentation of this tool are subject to change without notice during the course of development.

To access the beta and provide feedback Show/Hide Details

  • How to access:  

    • Join the web-based Locations Beta program using Procore Explore.

    • Ensure the new Locations (Beta) tool is active on your project.

    • Ensure you have the required user permissions. To learn more, see Permissions.

    • Navigate to your project's Locations tool.
      Note: You can switch between the new Locations tool (web) and the legacy Locations page. Click the vertical ellipses Icon Vertical Ellipsis icon located at the top right corner of the new Locations tool and select the Manage Locations (Legacy) option. The legacy Locations page appears in a new tab.

  • How to provide feedback during beta: Click the vertical ellipses Icon Vertical Ellipsis icon located at the top right corner of the new Locations tool and select the Share Feedback option. Use this option to report bugs or suggest improvements. Your feedback is critical to the final development of this tool.

  • Support: To report issues, contact your Procore point of contact, Beta program lead, or submit a ticket to Procore Customer Support.

You can define specific geographic areas for your project and add them to the map as locations or sub locations. You can use physical shapes, such as point, path, or polygon, and assign to the locations or sub locations on the map. This will help you easily identify a mapped location on the map, and view its area and perimeter details.

See GeoJSON Formatting Guide for Locations for detailed information on how to define areas using coordinate and physical shapes.

Things to Consider

Steps

  1. Navigate to the project's Locations tool.
    The Locations page appears with the List View and Map panes.

  2. In the List Icon List View 1 view, select Unmapped from the dropdown menu on the left side of the Locations page.

  3. Select an unmapped location from the list table and click the Icon Add To Map icon in the corresponding row under the Actions column.
    Note: You can also use the Icon Add To Map icon on the map pane to add locations to the map. To learn more, see Manage Locations on the Map.

  4. Select one of the following geometry shapes to assign it to the location:

    • Point: For specific spots (for example, a column or valve).

    • Path: For linear routes (for example, a pipeline or trench).

    • Polygon: For defined areas (for example, a room, slab, or zone).
      On selecting a shape, the Detail Card in the Map pane displays options to enter coordinates. For example, if you have selected Polygon, you can define area and perimeter on the Detail Card.

  5. Do one of the following on the map pane:

    1. To draw, click on the map to place your points.

      • For Points: Click to place the point on the map.

      • For Paths: Click to place vertices. Double-click or hit Enter to finish your drawing.

      • For Polygons: Click to place vertices. Double-click or hit Enter to close the shape and finish your drawing.
        When your drawing is complete, the geometry shape is saved and the location is added to the map automatically.

    2. To enter coordinate values directly, click on the map to place your points.

      1. Click the Enter Coordinates icon on the Detail Card.
        This image shows the text boxused to enter the coordinate values for adding locations to the map.

      2. Enter the coordinate values in the text box. See GeoJSON Formatting Guide for Locations for detailed information.

      3. Click outside the text box. The defined geometry shape is saved and the location is added to the map automatically.
