Learn Sentinel, one step at a time

Report, document and complete work from your phone, even without coverage.

• 01Report a problem from the mapCreate a geolocated task in seconds from the terrain map, even without coverage.M
• 02Annotating on the map: showing the extent, not just the spotAdd zones, lines and photo points to a task's map so people see the size of the job before they head out.WM
• 03Annotating a photo: circle it, point at it, explain itDraw freehand on a photo before attaching it to a task, a structure or a message.M
• 04Working off the network: how Sentinel handles no signalWhat you can read and do without a connection, how the sync queue restarts on its own, and what happens when there's a conflict.M
• 05Reading a task on mobile: the map and the listWhat a marker on the map tells you, what a card in the list tells you, and how the list is ordered.M

Track progress, plan the work and measure what got done.

• 06The Tasks section: map, kanban, foldersThe two view modes, the list groupings, folders, and the button that projects a group onto the map.W
• 07Create a task from a photoUpload a photo taken in the field — Sentinel reads its GPS location and suggests the nearby trails.W
• 08Filter tasks in depthCombine status, priority, type, trail, person and date to isolate exactly the tasks you care about.WM
• 09Projects: grouping tasks that belong togetherA project gathers tasks, computes its own progress, and is tracked on a kanban, on the map, or in statistics.WM
• 10The dashboard: reading the network's state in thirty secondsFive indicators, one date range, and exactly what each number means.W

Repeat the same checks across the whole network, season after season.

• 11Checklists: repeating the same checks across the networkSeason opening, periodic inspection, closing — run the same list of checks across several trails and follow progress at a glance.WM

Inventory bridges, signs and boardwalks, and follow their condition over time.

• 12Structures and their inspection reportsList your assets, inspect them, and turn every inspection into a risk rating, a return date and a PDF.WM

Keep every exchange attached to the task or structure it belongs to.

• 13Trail conditions: telling the public what's openCreate a condition report, keep it current from the field, and embed it on your website with the widget.WM
• 14Conversations: talking about a task, inside the taskOne thread per task, structure, project or checklist. Mentions, replies, reactions, photos — and exactly who gets notified.WM
• 15Notification settings: choosing what interrupts youThree channels, one setting per kind of event, and the full matrix of what Sentinel can send you.WM

Adapt types, trails and conditions to how your organization works.

• 16Trails: the backbone of your placeImport your GPX tracks, sort them by activity and difficulty. Almost everything else in Sentinel hangs off them.W
• 17Activities: keeping your networks apartBiking, hiking, cross-country skiing — each activity has its own trails, tasks and types. Here's how to turn them on and switch between them.WM
• 18Difficulties: the colour of your trailsDifficulty levels give trails their symbol and their colour on every map. Here's how to set them, reorder them, and what deleting one breaks.WM
• 19Task types: the vocabulary of your maintenanceThe nine predefined types, creating custom ones, picking icons, and why activities decide what shows up.WM
• 20Structure types: inspection questionnaires and numberingDefine your structure types, write the questionnaire that scores them, set automatic rescheduling and the PV-001, PV-002 numbering.WM

Manage members, groups and what each person can see or change.

• 21Invite a member and give them the right accessThe Members section is your team. Invite by email, pick the role, and decide which activities the person can reach.W
• 22Groups: assigning work to a crew rather than a personGather members under a name and a colour, then assign a task to the group instead of naming someone.W
• 23Roles: deciding what each person can doA role bundles 20 interlinked permissions. Here's how to read one at a glance, change it without breaking something else, and avoid locking yourself out.W
• 24Planning: splitting the work person by personA kanban per member and per group to assign tasks in one gesture, and "My planning" to see your own.WM
