Orca Scan makes it easy to visualise the location of all your assets and inventory in real-time, including an audit trail of an item’s entire journey.
Add a GPS location to your Orca Sheet
- To get started, you’ll need to add a GPS location column to your sheet. Right-click any column and select Add column. Add a column to the sheet from the web app
- Next, decide how you want to capture GPS Data
- Manual: The user taps the pin icon to capture their location
- Automatic: GPS is captured automatically with every scan Once you’ve decided, name the column and click save.
Select column data type to either GPS Location (Automatic) or GPS Location - Once you’ve added a GPS Location column, the location (latitude and longitude) is captured automatically with each scan or manually when you tap the pin icon using the manual option. Try it out by scanning an item nearby!
- After you’ve captured some location data, click the Map button at the bottom left of your sheet to see where everything is:
Map view of all assets and inventory and current locations
If multiple items are in the same place, they’ll be grouped into one pin with a number showing how many are in that location. Click the pin to see and select each item.
Viewing Location History
Each time an asset or inventory item is updated, its location will be captured, and the historical data can be viewed on the map. The same concept applies to viewing the different component fabrication locations.
To view an item’s location history, click a map pin:
