Monitor the Status of a Project

• In the right pane, you can review the status of any device and the 'designs in use'.

Devices that are reporting within each project boundary appear on the map. Each dot on the map represents a specific device reporting from the field. You will see different background color codes for your devices. 

• ‘Green’ implies that the device has reported in today (12 AM or later), and it is running the latest version of the design.

• ‘Amber’ implies that the device has reported in today, however, it is not running the latest version of the design.

• ‘Grey’ implies that the device has not reported in today.

• The icon inside each dot reflects the asset that is reporting (e.g., excavator, dozer, motor grader, etc.). The icon color is white by default.

• When you select a specific device, the icon color turns black, and you can view the device-specific info in the right panel.

Current generation devices (e.g., Earthworks v1.8 & above, Siteworks v1.03 & above, and Groundworks v1.2 & above) report their location/status information to WorksManager from the field continuously, so you can view them on the map in near real-time. Device locations are updated every 30 seconds (dot on a map). Device statuses are updated every 5 minutes (with design info).

Legacy devices do not report to WorksManager, which means that you will not be able to view any legacy data collectors running SCS900 on the map. Similarly, you will not be able to view legacy machine control devices running GCS900 on the map by default. However, as a workaround, if the device is configured to send in production/as-built information (.tag files), you can view them on the map (based on the information from the .tag files). This status might not be in real-time, however, but rather with a time gap of 15 - 30 minutes.

When a device reports inside a project boundary, it is auto-added to the project and in addition, auto-pulls in all the project designs. You can also manage important information at the account level.
