Sites (Locaties)

A site (“locatie”) is an address where your technicians carry out work: a customer’s head office, a warehouse, a building on a campus. Each site belongs to a customer; an intervention always takes place at a site, and installations are linked to it.

The Locaties list with the key figures and the Nieuwe locatie button circled

  • The Totaal locaties, Met open werk (with open work), Met installaties and Zonder regio (without a region) tiles filter the list.
  • Search for a street, a town, a customer in Zoek locatie, straat, gemeente, klant…; filter by Regio, Klant, Status (active, archived or all) and Open werk.
  • The ⋯ menu of a row offers Navigeren (Google Maps directions), Locatiepagina (site page), Klant, Wijzigen, Installatie registreren and Archiveren, depending on your permissions.

Kaart (map) shows the sites on a map, with the list on the left.

The Kaart view of the sites

A site without coordinates does not appear on the map and Navigeren is not offered.

  1. Click Nieuwe locatie (new site). From a customer file, use Nieuw › Locatie: the customer is already filled in.

  2. Choose the Klant, then fill in Naam van de locatie (site name), Straat en nummer, Postcode and Gemeente.

    The Nieuwe locatie window

  3. If possible, add:

    • Coördinaten: latitude and longitude, for example copied from a map service (“51.0543, 3.7174”);
    • Contact ter plaatse (on-site contact), chosen from the customer’s contacts;
    • Route, which appears once the customer is chosen: “Interventies op deze locatie krijgen de technieker van de route.” (interventions at this site get the route’s technician);
    • Wegbeschrijving (access: parking, plant room…) and Notities.
  4. Click Locatie aanmaken.

Result: “Locatie aangemaakt”. Wijzigen then edits the site (“Locatie bewaard”). The route of an existing site is not changed here but in Planning › Routes (The schedule).

The page of the Antwerpen HQ site with the Aandacht banner

  • Header: customer, safety alert (for example “2 blokkerend gevaar”, blocking hazards), Klantdossier, Navigeren, and Nieuwe interventie with the customer and site already filled in.
  • Aandacht (attention): the open hazards recorded in the LMRAs of this site.
  • Installaties: health, maintenance, warranty and open work of each installation; Alle in register opens the filtered register.
  • Interventies: Open or Recent.
  • Details: address, customer, region, route, on-site contact, last and next visit, access and notes; then the Kaart, the Veiligheid (last LMRA, open hazards, interventions on hold), the sub-sites and the Onderhoudscontracten.
  • ⋯ › Meer acties voor deze locatie: Installatie registreren, Wijzigen, Archiveren or Herstellen.
  1. Open ⋯ › Archiveren on the site’s page (or in the list).

    The Locatie archiveren? confirmation

  2. Confirm with Archiveren.

Result: “Locatie gearchiveerd”, with Ongedaan maken (undo) in the message. The site disappears from the lists and can no longer be chosen for a new intervention; its history remains. Herstellen restores it.

Service Suite refuses and changes nothing as long as the site has open interventions, active installations, active sub-sites or an active maintenance contract:

The refusal: the site still has 11 open interventions

The list becomes cards. On a site’s page, Bellen (call the on-site contact) and Navigeren stay at the bottom of the screen; Details expands with a tap.

The table shows the supplied role templates (see Roles and permissions); your administrator can adjust them (see Users, roles and permissions).

Creating and editing a site also require the permission to edit customers, because the site’s address is a contact record of the customer. Your company administrator assigns the roles (Users, roles and permissions).

  • A site’s route can only be chosen at creation; afterwards, in Planning › Routes.
  • Regions, routes and territories are configured elsewhere (Operating rules).
  • Without coordinates, no map and no directions.
