The tree panel

Click a tree on the map and its panel opens (its drawer, on mobile). This is the whole story of that tree, split across five tabs: Overview, Work, Inspections, Logs, and History. The header carries its photo (click to change), its name (click to rename), and, for Owners and Management, Delete.

The Overview is the tree’s profile. A units toggle at the top switches the whole tab between metric and imperial.

Condition and lifecycle. The tree’s Condition runs Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor, or Critical, and it drives the tree’s score. Separately, a lifecycle control tracks whether the tree is Alive, Dying, Dead, or a Stump. This is how you mark a tree felled: set it to Dead or Stump and the pin stays on the map with its full history intact. Felling a tree is not the same as deleting it.

Physicals. The tree’s measurements, height, DBH (trunk diameter), canopy diameter, and root zone radius, sit here alongside its condition. To change them, record an inspection, that’s where measurements are updated.

Risk. The risk level (Low, Moderate, High, or Critical), the risk radius, and when it was last assessed. Hit Highlight radius to draw that tree’s risk circle right on the map.

Carbon snapshot. Each tree shows its sequestration rate per year and its lifetime storage estimate.

Species and notes. The species and its wood density are shown, with a Swap species option if you got it wrong, the tree keeps its name and its spot on the map. Below that, a free Notes field for a quick note about the tree. There’s also a View on map link that opens the spot in Google Maps.

Trees don’t have a separate issues tool, work orders fill that role. A work order is a job on a specific tree, assigned to a person.

Create a work order (Owners and Management): give it a title, a task type (pruning, watering, removal, planting, staking, mulch, or custom), a due date, an assignee, the equipment required (chainsaw, polesaw, bucket truck, and so on), a description, and optional photos. The assignee gets it, and it shows up in the Work orders panel on the toolbar under My work orders and Team work orders.

Complete a work order by opening it and marking it done with a note of what was done and/or a photo. Completed orders drop into the tree’s History. Out in the field, the crew resolves their assigned orders the same way from the mobile Work tab.

Every tree runs on its own inspection cadence, 45 days by default. The next-due date is what surfaces in your inventory, so you always know which trees are coming up. Owners and Management can edit the schedule (frequency, checklist, and next-due date) on the web.

Hit Start inspection to record a visit. You’ll capture the tree’s condition, risk level and radius, its measurements (height, DBH, canopy, root zone), the tree’s age, notes, and photos. Saving the inspection updates the tree’s live condition, risk, and measurements, and rolls the next-due date forward. Owners, Management, and Tech Staff can record inspections.

The tree’s journal. Add a log entry with a date, a description of what happened, and photos, a storm-damage note, a watering, a spray. It’s the running diary that sits alongside the more structured inspections and work orders.

Every event on the tree in one newest-first timeline: when it was planted, each inspection with its condition and measurements, work orders created and completed, log entries, and photos. Cards expand to show the detail and open photos full size. It’s the tree’s complete record at a glance.
