Map

Last updated: February 27, 2026

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 workers

  • 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 from the main navigation menu in Bridgit.

Viewing Projects and People

  • Project markers appear as colored pins based on project color

  • People markers appear as black pins

Using Project Isolation

Project isolation lets you focus on staffing a single project based on distance.

To isolate a project:

  1. Click a project marker on the map, or select a project from the side panel list

  2. The map displays a customizable radius around the project

  3. View the assigned team

  4. Toggle unfilled roles and nearby unassigned people into/out of view

While in isolation mode:

  • Adjust the radius size using the radius control (5-200 miles or 10-300 kilometers)

  • 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:

  • Search for specific projects by name

  • View project status and dates on project chips

  • See summary totals for people and projects matching filters

  • Toggle project markers on/off for a people-only map view

  • Click any project to enter isolation mode

Assigning People from the Map

From a general people marker (no project isolated):

  1. Click the person marker

  2. In the popper, click the add button

  3. Select the project and role

  4. Confirm the assignment

From a people marker while in isolation mode:

  1. Click the person marker

  2. The popper shows commute distance and availability

  3. Click the add button - the isolated project is automatically selected

  4. Choose to fill an existing unfilled role or create a new role

  5. Confirm the assignment

From a cluster:

  1. Click the cluster marker

  2. View the list of people

  3. Click the add button next to any person

  4. Complete the assignment process

Viewing Person Details

Click a person marker, then select "View Profile" from the popper to open their full profile in a modal.

Using Filters with the Map

Apply filters while viewing the map to narrow results based on skills, availability, location, or other criteria. Filters work in both standard and isolation modes.

Common Workflows

Staffing a project with nearby workers:

  1. Locate the project on the map or search in the side panel

  2. Click the project to isolate it

  3. Set the radius to your preferred commute range

  4. Review nearby unassigned people and their commute distances

  5. Apply filters if needed (certifications, experience, etc.)

  6. Click workers to assign them directly to unfilled roles

Finding projects near a specific worker:

  1. Toggle off project markers for a people-only view

  2. Locate the person on the map

  3. Click their marker to view their profile and current assignments

  4. Toggle project markers back on to see nearby opportunities

Comparing staffing options by distance:

  1. Isolate the project you're staffing

  2. Click multiple candidate markers to compare commute distances

  3. Review availability within project dates

  4. Assign the most suitable candidate based on proximity and qualifications

Identifying coverage gaps:

  1. View all projects on the map

  2. Use the side panel to see which projects have unfilled roles

  3. Isolate projects with gaps

  4. Search for nearby available workers within your desired radius

Demonstrating project locations to stakeholders:

  1. Use the map to show where owner sites are located

  2. Toggle to show your workforce distribution

  3. Isolate specific projects to display assigned teams and proximity of available workers

Common Questions

Q: How is commute distance calculated?

A: Commute distance is calculated from the person's home address (if entered in their profile) to the project location. This replaces the previous straight-line distance calculation.

Q: What happens if someone doesn't have a home address in their profile?

A: If no home address is entered, commute distance won't display for that person in isolation mode.

Q: Can I staff multiple projects at once from the map?

A: You can only isolate one project at a time, but you can quickly switch between projects to staff multiple locations in one session.

Q: What does it mean when a person marker appears in color vs. black?

A: When isolating a project, people already assigned to that project appear in the project's color. Nearby unassigned people appear in black. Outside isolation mode, all people markers are black.

Q: Can I adjust the radius while in isolation mode?

A: Yes, use the radius control to adjust between 5-200 miles (or 10-300 kilometers). The map updates immediately to show people within the new range.

Q: Will I see people who are not assigned to this project?

A: When a project is isolated, you will see the assigned team by default. To show nearby people who are not assigned to this project, you can toggle them into view at the bottom of the side panel under Map Settings.

Q: How do I know which roles are unfilled?

A: When you isolate a project, unfilled roles appear in the side panel alongside the assigned team.
