How to Use Map Filters to find nearby Companies
When you are out on the road or talking to an end user, it is often helpful to find nearby distributors that carry one of your lines in order to point the end user to a place where he can purchase the parts.
Another example is when you have manufacturer riding along with you, and you have an appointment cancel. You can use the map and characteristics of nearby companies to reroute to another company to make that time productive.
To change the radius for the search distance, that is under settings. The default is 10 miles. To change it, open the mobile app. Go to nearby then, in the upper right corner, click the three grey dots and go to settings. Edit the mile radius and hit the disk icon to save. If you can not see the settings menu, please contact your team administrator to change your user menu for permission to change application settings.
Reorienting the map to another location
By default the map on the “Nearby” tab will show your current location. To change the location of the map.
1. Tap the “Nearby” tab.
2. Type in the location you plan to visit. This can be a city, an address or intersection.
3. Tap the magnifier to search.
Using filters to show pins of only companies you want to view
By default, all locations of companies in Repfabric will be shown. You can declutter the pins by filtering for certain characteristics.
4. Tap the “Filter” button.
5. Tap “Company Type.”
6. Tap “Distributor.” The pins shown are now only that of companies that are “Distributors.”
7. Tap “Filter” button.
Repeat the filtering process to create “combination filters” such as “All distributors that carry Moen” (marked in their product potential field).
