Your first walkthrough

Welcome. The walkthrough opens with “Welcome to Turfile!” Click Let’s Get Started.

Basemap (the Owner who set up the property). In “First, let’s find your best view.”, click Mapbox, Google or Esri to see your course on that imagery in the preview. Confirm with Use Mapbox (or Use Google, Use Esri). This step can’t be skipped. The choice applies to everyone on the property, and you can change it later from the Layers widget. See Set up your property.

Invite a teammate (Owners). “Mapping is better together.” has the same fields as the invite form on the Team tab: Email address, Title / role and Permissions. Fill in the email and title, then click Send Invitation. You’ll see “Invitation sent to” and their address, then the walkthrough moves on. To invite people later from the Team tab instead, click Skip for Now. If every seat on your plan is taken, this step is left out.

“This is your map.” Click Show Me Around.

“Everything has its place.” highlights the navigation bar at the top, which you use to move between sections. The pointer clicks Irrigation, Bunkers and Trees, and a small picture of a golf hole on the card shows each section’s features: irrigation lines and sprinklers, then the bunkers, then the trees. The pointer only demonstrates; you stay on the Home map. Click Next.

“Meet your toolbar.” highlights the toolbar on the left, which holds the tools for the section you’re in. Click Next.

“Your maps, all in one place.” opens the widget panel on the right, where you manage your basemap and map layers. A small picture on the card shows a golf hole changing from one basemap to another. Click Next and the panel closes again.

“Turfile on your phone.” A picture of the mobile app appears beside the card, showing your map. Click Next.

“Switching sections.” The navigation bar is highlighted, and a line joins it to the section button at the bottom of the phone screen. The picture shows the button being tapped and the Sections panel opening, which is how you move between sections in the mobile app. Click Next.

“Opening tools.” The toolbar is highlighted next, and the line moves to the phone’s Tools button. The picture shows the Tools panel opening with the tools for the section you’re in. Click Next.

Click Yes, Let’s Add It.

“Let’s add it to your map.” Click Add issue on the toolbar.

“Click the issue’s location.” The map holds still while the card shows two short animations: click and drag to move around the map, and pinch, or move two fingers up and down, to zoom in and out. Got It becomes available after about two seconds. Click it and the card moves to the bottom of the screen. Then click the spot on the map where the issue is.

“Choose how to mark it.” The issue form opens on Choose a location method. Pick Single point to pin the spot you clicked, or Line or Polygon if the issue covers a larger area.

Line or Polygon only. A card shows how to draw, with an animation of the pointer dropping points:

• “Draw a line.” Click on the map to drop points along the edge you want to mark. Double-click to finish the line.
• “Outline an area.” Click on the map to drop points around the area. Double-click to close the shape.

I’m Ready becomes available after about two seconds. Click it, then draw on the map. The panel at the bottom of the screen counts your points and has Undo, Reset, Cancel and Continue. Click Continue when the shape is done. This card shows the first time you pick each one.

“Give it a title.” The walkthrough highlights the Issue title field. Type a title, then click Next.

“Add the details.” The Details field is highlighted next. Describe what you see and what needs to be done, then click Next.

“Add photos or files.” Attachments are optional. Add photos or files if you have them, then click Next.

“Save to your map.” Click Save issue.

“Your first issue is on the map!” Your new issue shows on the map as its marker. Click Finish Setup to go on to the toolbar cards.

“Account & Profile” (Account & profile): update your photo, name and title. Owners and Management also manage the property and the team from this panel. See Account overview.

“To-Do Manager” (To-do manager): your assigned work, with due dates. Click a to-do to jump to the job on the map, then solve its issue to close it out.
