Promap Masterclass - Article 1

Over the coming weeks we'll post a series of articles designed to help you save time, improve accuracy and enhance your output when using Promap. These posts will be supplemented by free webinars, so that you can see these features in action. 

Welcome to the first post, which deals with methods of searching for sites and making best use of your previously saved maps.   

• Accessing your previously saved maps quicker
• Using Promap to find your sites address
• Locate sites using the free to view layers to avoid unnecessary cost.
• Have Promap automatically check that no maps have been saved for this area before

Accessing your previously saved maps quicker

Do you want to go straight to your saved maps when logging into Promap?

To move straight to your saved maps when logging into Promap use the “Default Starting Tab” option to set your starting tab to either :
Locate By – For new site searches
Recent – To show you the 10 most recently accessed maps under your username and password
Browse – Allows you to browse through the various folders and maps that have been saved on to Promap by users in your organisation.
Search – Which allows you to use a keyword search to locate a map using the information that was entered when the map was saved.  

Using Promap to find your sites address

Having trouble getting the postcode for your site?

Enter as much of your address as you have then press “Search” and Promap will provide you with the full information including postcodes for all the addresses fitting that criteria.

Locate sites using the free to view layers to avoid unnecessary cost. 

To ensure you have the correct site before you incur any cost on the system use the free to view map layers (which are also free to roam on) to check its location first, then go into the detail layer once you have the correct site centred to avoid incurring any unnecessary charges.

Have Promap automatically check that no maps have been saved for this area before

Ticking the option “Check your saved maps for any that cover this area” will prompt Promap to automatically look through all the maps that have been saved into the organisation folder for your company, if one has been downloaded for the area before it will give you the option to reopen it potentially avoiding any unnecessary viewing charges and in certain situations printing charges.
