# Toolbar

Above the map is a toolbar where a user can add a request or scaffold, specify filters to display certain requests or scaffolds or jump to your current location.

**Add**

Selecting **Add** will create a new scaffold or request. The **Scaffolds** button to the right of the **Add** button indicates whether a scaffold or request is added. In the example below, selecting **Add** will create a new scaffold. Adding a scaffold, without going through the approval process, is useful for when a scaffold has already been erected on a jobsite but not logged on the ScaffoldIQ application because, for example, the scaffolds were erected before the software was purchased.

When the **Add** button is selected, a crosshair will appear on the map allowing the requestor to pinpoint exactly where they wish to create the request or erect the scaffold.

For more information on adding a request or scaffold, see the [**Adding a Scaffold**/**Request**](/v1/docs/adding-a-scaffoldrequest) section.

**Scaffolds/Requests**

This button determines whether requests or scaffolds are displayed on the map. It also determines whether a scaffold or request is created when the user adds a request or scaffold to the map.

Selecting **Requests** will only display requests. These are marked by an “R” prefixed before the ID (e.g. R-00000033). Selecting **Add**, will add a request.

Selecting **Scaffolds** will only display scaffold pins on the map. These are marked with an “S” prefixed before the ID (e.g. S-00000033). Selecting **Add**, will add a scaffold.

The **Filter** button is used to filter the requests and scaffolds that are visible on the map. This allows users to only display requests or scaffolds that are relevant to them. Users can select to display requests or scaffolds of their choice, for instance, a user can filter out all scaffolds except those that are **Awaiting** **Build** so that only scaffolds that are waiting to be built will be shown on the map.
