Challenges & Growling Pains

■

Dealing with the limitations of the “Assignments layer”, restricted to limited fields.

■

How to zoom to properties that were being located for production maps

■

Creating logging files to check and report when scripts or portions

f the workflow have failed.

■

Back up process for emergency situations – employee challenges, holidays, working with limited licenses, server failures.

What are the benefits

■

What has been gained?

Time – approximately 2.5- 4 hours a day freed up in daily tasks between 2

different workers (manual entry of locates, printing, scanning, emailing & 360

Accuracy – can use dashboard to track locate statistics (daily, monthly, annual,
verdue, outstanding, etc.)
Digital Archive of locates- quick reference

Where to from here…

■ Create new workflow to automate line crew service
