Map

The Map is a strategic staffing tool that helps you visualize and assign your workforce based on geographic proximity. It displays projects and people on an interactive map, allowing you to staff projects by distance, view commute times, and make assignments directly from the map interface.

Key capabilities:

• Isolate individual projects to focus staffing efforts

• View people within a customizable radius of a project

• See commute distances from team members' home addresses

• Identify unfilled roles and nearby available resources

• Make assignments directly from the map

• Filter projects and people while viewing geographic distribution

• Toggle between project-focused and people-only views

How to Use

Accessing the Map

Navigate to the Map tab from the main navigation menu in Bridgit.

Viewing Projects and People

• Toggle on Show People Nearby from bottom of the left side panel to see all resources located near the selected project

• From the left side panel, toggle unfilled roles and nearby unassigned people into/out of view

• Apply filters to refine which people appear

• Zoom in and out as needed

• Click outside the project or close the panel to exit isolation mode

Working with the Project List Side Panel

The side panel displays all projects matching your current filters.

Features:
