What This Webinar Covers
This live Matidor Webinar Series session provides comprehensive training on Work Items and Map Visualization. The session demonstrates how to create different types of work tickets, tie them to map drawings with precise geo coordinates, apply dynamic map styles that reflect work status automatically, manage subtasks and blockers, and export work and drawing data for reporting or use in external GIS tools.
Who This Is For
This webinar is for project managers learning to use Work Items as the primary task management layer in Matidor, field operations leads who need a visual, map-based view of where work is assigned and what its current status is, GIS and operations teams who want to understand how Work Items and map drawings connect, and organizations transitioning from spreadsheet-based work tracking to a visual, location-aware workflow platform.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
The webinar opens with a clear explanation of the difference between basic work and geo work. A basic Work Item is a task ticket with assignees, dates, custom fields, and status — it appears in the Work tab but is not spatially plotted on the map. A geo Work Item is the same ticket but with a map drawing attached, meaning the task is visible as a styled pin or polygon on the project map. The session then walks through creating a basic Work Item from a template, using the autofill feature to speed up creation of multiple similar tickets, and switching between list and table views.
The map drawing section covers creating polygon, line, and point drawings directly from within the Work Item creation flow — the drawing is linked to the ticket at the moment of creation, ensuring spatial and task data are always connected. Dynamic styles are configured in the Work Template settings, showing how to link pin icon and fill color to a Status dropdown field so the map updates automatically as work moves through its stages. The subtasks and blockers section covers adding dependent tasks that must be completed before the parent Work Item can close. The final section demonstrates exporting: individual work items as PDFs, and entire drawing layers as KMZ files or Excel spreadsheets.
Key Takeaways
Work Items and map visualization in Matidor create a system where every task has both a data record and a spatial location. By connecting work tickets to map drawings and applying dynamic styles, project managers get a live status map that updates as field teams progress through their assignments. The export capabilities ensure that Matidor serves as both the operational platform and the source of deliverable data for clients, regulators, and project records.
