Admin Permission Area 

Vision is location based and the foundation for every piece in the system. An address only exists once and it does not allow duplicates such as ‘Rd and Road’. All other resources are layered on top of a specific location. Vision utilizes Google and the United States Postal Service database to verify exact rooftop address locations. It is important to know where service is being delivered to ensure accurate tax reporting and regulatory compliance. On the Locations page administrators are allowed to view, edit, and add service addresses stored within your database.

  • Add Location
    • Import Locations from CSV File

 


Locations are automatically sorted by the created date to show the most recent additions first.

The locations page automatically displays the 200 most recently added locations in the system. 

Click on a column heading to change the order in which the information is sorted. Select the settings-24px.svg icon to change which columns are displayed.

edit-2.PNG

Create a new location in the system and select the address as entered, or choose from an existing location.

Clicking SKIP VERIFICATION will allow you to enter the address into the system even if there are no new or pre-existing matches found. This can be useful when adding locations that do not yet exist in USPS records, like a new construction subdivision.

The Survey tab is a helpful tool to use to ensure the entered address actually corresponds to the correct rooftop. Click and drag the pin as needed onto the correct rooftop. 

Make changes to the map view by toggling between map or satellite view in the upper righthand corner. Satellite view is particularly helpful to use for determining rooftop pin placement.
