Using the Site Map (GIS)

View and edit a site's interactive map: BMP markers, monitoring locations, deficiencies, and ESRI overlays.


Overview

Each site in SwiftComply Stormwater has an interactive map view with GIS capabilities. The map shows the site's position, BMP implementation markers, monitoring locations, and deficiency markers.


Before you begin

  • The site must have latitude/longitude coordinates set.


Viewing the site map

  1. Navigate to any site's detail page.

  2. The site's detail page shows a small map with the site's pin in the Site Map card.

  3. Click View Site Map (or Site Map at the top of the page) to open the full map.


Map features

Layer groups

The map supports multiple layer groups that you can toggle on and off. The names below are the ones the BMP Map Builder uses. If your organization doesn't use the BMP Map Builder, the site map labels the monitoring layer Monitoring and the regions layer Regions:

  • BMPs: Markers showing where BMPs are installed on the site. Click a marker to see the BMP name and any unresolved deficiencies.

  • Monitoring Stations: Points where water quality monitoring samples are collected.

  • Deficiencies: Real-time markers for active deficiencies. Once a deficiency is resolved, the marker is typically removed or changed to a Resolved state to keep the map focused on current issues.

  • BMP Regions: Named polygons, polylines, or areas within the site (e.g., drainage zones, construction phases).

ESRI Feature Layers (view-only overlays)

If ESRI integration is configured, additional view-only feature layers from your organization's ArcGIS Online account can be displayed. Configure these under Settings > ESRI Feature Layers.

Drone imagery

If the Drone program is enabled, aerial imagery can be overlaid on the map for visual site assessment.


FAQ

Q: Why don't I see anything on the map?

A: The site must have valid latitude and longitude coordinates. Edit the site and add coordinates if missing.

Q: How do I add an ESRI/ArcGIS layer?

A: Go to Settings > ESRI Feature Layers to configure feature layer connections. Your organization needs an ESRI account with OAuth credentials.
