Geolocation uses various types of signals, such as the signal used by a mobile phone, to approximate the location of a user. You can enable the geolocation of labor and crews so that you can view maps to monitor their work and route progress.
Geolocation is enabled for labor and crews that have mobile devices access to Maximo® Everyplace®. For mobile devices that do not have access to Maximo Everyplace, you can enable geolocation by integrating the mobile devices with the LBSLOCATION table.
The following table describes the map geolocation symbols that
might be associated with the labor and crews.
| Symbol | Description |
