Locate and/or Query by Latitude/Longitude

Request a simple search, or locate, by Latitude/Longitude for both OCPV and OCD users.

For OCPV, the ability of a field tech to type in a Lat/Long and be brought directly to a location would be invaluable.

For OCD users the ability to query an area based off a Lat/Long would also be a crucial time saver. This search should include the ability to change the buffer area.

    Our IT department is telling me that you need to provide us access to your 'sharepoint'.

    Are you aware if that was set up?

    Hello Francis,

    Thank you for letting me know about this great news. We at BRC will make great use of this tool.

    I am wondering if there is a way for me to obtain this Macro through our service portal? Or can it be e-mailed?

    The link you sent is trying to put me through the Microsoft sign in page and my company appears to have that blocked.

    While I am waiting for IT to determine a way around it I was hoping we could obtain the link for the Lat/Long macro in another way.

    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!
    Patti

    Hello,

    Thank you for the enhancement request and submitting your idea! This feature is currently being scoped for addition to the next release of OpenComms Designer.

    In the meantime, we have written a VBA macro that provides the ability to zoom to a Lon/Lat. This function will help familiarize your team with the proposed feature and may help the team provide details on how to improve the design of the tool.

    Please let me know if you have any issues with the setup and any feedback you may have.

    Thanks,

    Francis
