Quantify Web leverages Google Maps technology to enable you to see exactly where your scaffold tags are (in map, satellite image and street view form), get directions to and from the locations and view detailed information associated with the locations. You will find these features in the Map tab. Quantify uses the same location icons in the Map tab as it does in the Quantify interface, which makes it easy for you to determine what type of location you are looking at.

Note: Some of the procedures below show you how to view the available information for a scaffold tag. You can determine what information Quantify Web displays by using the procedures here. If you use the linked procedures to change the available information, Quantify changes that information for all Job Sites, not just the selected Job Site.
