Searching Projects by Location

Location-based search lets you find all projects within a set distance of a point. This is useful for fieldwork planning, area coverage review, or finding nearby jobs when scheduling crews. The feature is available on three project views — Dashboard, DigiBoard, and Project Map — and works the same way on each.

Where to Use It

Location search is available on:

View Path Results Format
Project Dashboard Projects → Dashboard Filtered table of projects
Project DigiBoard Projects → DigiBoard Kanban board filtered by location
Project Map Projects → Mapping Map pins clustered by area

All three use the same location filter fields. The difference is how results are displayed after the search runs.


How Location Search Works

You set a center point and a radius. Kudurru returns all projects whose recorded location falls within that radius. There are three ways to define the center point.


Method 1: Pick a Location on the Map

Use this when you want to draw a circle on a map and find what's inside it.

  1. Open the filter panel on any of the three project views.
  2. Locate the Latitude and Longitude filter fields.
  3. Click the map marker icon next to those fields. A map picker modal opens.
  4. Click anywhere on the map to drop a pin. The selected coordinates appear below the map.
  5. Click Save Location. The Latitude and Longitude fields populate automatically.
  6. Enter a value in the Radius (miles) field.
  7. Click Search.

Kudurru returns all projects within that radius of the selected point.


Method 2: Enter a Street Address

Use this when you know the address of the area you want to search around.

  1. Open the filter panel.
  2. Enter the AddressCityState, and/or Zip into the location filter fields.
  3. Enter a value in the Radius (miles) field.
  4. Click Search.

Kudurru geocodes the address to coordinates automatically and returns projects within the specified radius. You do not need to enter latitude or longitude manually.


Method 3: Search from an Existing Project's Location

Use this when you want to find projects near a job you already know.

  1. On the Project Map view, use the project number search field to find an existing project.
  2. The map zooms to that project's location.
  3. Enter a value in the Radius (miles) field.
  4. Click Search (or use the Nearby Projects button on the map).

Kudurru reads the stored coordinates from the selected project and returns other projects within that radius.

Projects must have a recorded location (latitude and longitude or a geocodable address) to appear in location-based search results. Projects with no location data are excluded.


Radius

  • Unit: miles
  • No default is applied — you must enter a value
  • Decimals are accepted (e.g., 0.5 for half a mile)

Project Map: Additional Location Features

The Project Map view has a few extra capabilities not available on the Dashboard or DigiBoard:

Nearby Projects button — After clicking a project marker on the map, a Nearby Projects button appears. Enter a radius and Kudurru highlights all other projects within that distance.

Viewport filtering — As you pan and zoom the map, results update to match the visible area. This works independently of the radius filter.

Polygon and KML overlays — Project boundaries and KML/KMZ survey files can be toggled on the map view. These are filtered by the current map viewport, not by radius.


Combining Location with Other Filters

Location search works alongside all other project filters — client, status, project type, manager, and so on. You can narrow results to, for example, all In Progress projects within 10 miles of a given address by setting both the status filter and the location filter before clicking Search.


Tips

  • If a search returns no results, confirm the projects in that area have a recorded address or coordinates. Projects with no location data will not appear.
  • The map picker is the easiest method when you do not have a specific address — just click the area you care about.
  • For recurring area-based searches, use Save Filter Defaults after setting your location and radius. The filter will pre-load those values on your next visit.
  • The Project Map view gives the richest spatial context — use it when you need to visually confirm which projects are clustered together.
  • Radius is in miles. A 1-mile radius is roughly a 2-mile-wide circle on the map.
