Tags & Tasks

R2S has a flexible hotspot system that lets you add additional layers of information to the visual model. You can place equipment tags, add work packs, inspection points and anomalies directly to plans, images and point clouds using XYZ coordinates. This makes them easy to find and helps you see how everything fits together, giving you unique insights when planning your work.

Tags and Tasks can be added to R2S manually, through an upload performed by AIS or automatically using the R2S API.

Hotspot Types and Visual Indicators

Hotspots are divided into two distinct categories to help you quickly identify their purpose:

• Tags (purple): Represent physical pieces of equipment.
• Tasks (teal): Refer to work-related activities.

Every hotspot is associated to a Dataset which defines it's

• Type
• Icon
• Metadata

Creating Hotspots

If you have the correct permissions, you can create and place hotspots into the Visual Model. Here's how to do it.

+ button

Located on the Toolbar, this button opens the Create New Item panel.

Follow these steps to create a new hotspot.

1. Select a position by either
   • Typing a known coordinate into the XYZ boxes or
   • Defining an XYZ coordinate for the hotspot. The method varies depending on the type of visual data in use, but follows the same steps as the Point Measurement process.
2. Choose the Dataset you want to add the hotspot to
3. Enter a name
4. Add a description
5. Click 'Save'

The hotspot you've created will now be visible in the image, in nearby 360s and on the plan view too.

Try out this interactive guide that walks through an example of adding a new equipment tag.

Once you've created a new hotspot, the Tag Panel opens showing the Metadata tab. You can add further details here as well as adding links and attachments.

Please note: If you don't want to select a position for the new hotspot, click on 'Skip Position' during step 1.

Data Views Page

You can also use the '+Create' button on the Data Views page to add new hotspots

1. Click "+Create" to open the Create New Item panel
2. Select the Dataset you want to add the hotspot to
3. Give it a name and description
4. If you know where you want to place the tag, add in the coordinates (you can do this later)
5. Click 'Save'

Once saved, the Tag Panel opens, allowing you to add metadata, links and attachments.

Adding Positions to Existing Hotspots

When creating hotspots, you might not always know where they should be located in the visual model. In some instances, a bulk upload of hotspots may have been completed with the intention of finding and placing them at a later date.

Follow these steps to position an existing hotspot.

1. Navigate to the area you want to place the hotspot
2. Open the hotspot in the Tag Panel (Details Tab)
3. Click 'Set Position' and either type in the coordinates or follow the same process as Point Measurement to select a coordinate.

The position of hotspots can also be adjusted using the same process. Click on the 'Set Position' button in the Tag Panel and use the drag handles to move the position or type in a new coordinate if you know it.
