What This Video Covers

This tutorial explains how to apply dynamic styles to Work pins in Matidor so that map icons and colors automatically change based on work status or dropdown field values. Instead of manually updating pin appearances, dynamic styles let the map reflect real-time project conditions at a glance — giving project managers and field teams an instant visual overview of what is open, in progress, or completed across all site locations.

Who This Is For

This video is designed for project managers who want a clearer map view of work status across multiple sites, GIS analysts configuring Matidor workspaces for field teams, and operations leads who need visual cues to quickly identify active, delayed, or completed work without reading individual records.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

The tutorial starts inside the Work Templates settings area, where you enable the Location option so that Work Items created from the template are plotted as geo pins on the project map. Once Location is enabled, you turn on the Dynamic Style toggle, which unlocks the style configuration panel.

In the style panel, you link the icon appearance to a specific dropdown field — most commonly the Status field. For each dropdown option (for example, Open, In Progress, and Closed), you assign a distinct icon shape and fill color. Once saved, any Work Item created from this template will display the matching pin style on the map based on its current status value. When a team member updates the status on a work item, the pin on the map updates instantly to the new style without any manual steps.

Key Takeaways

Dynamic styles in Matidor turn your project map into a live status board. Once configured in the Work Template, pin icons and colors update automatically as team members progress through work items, giving everyone from field crews to project executives an instant visual read on what is happening and where.
