Lot Walkthroughs
How lot walkthroughs are recorded, the 100 ft on-site requirement, and how to review a lot's walk history.
Overview
A walkthrough is a visit to a lot to check on its progress. TPTM tracks the most recent walkthrough date for every lot so you can see at a glance which lots have been checked on recently and which are overdue for a visit. Walkthrough data feeds the Walk flag on Field View and the Walked Lots Leaderboard.
Every lot also keeps a full history of its walks. Click the Lot walk tile on the lot's detail page to see who walked it, when, and whether each walk was confirmed on-site — and to record today's walk.
Automatic Walkthroughs
If you're the assigned project manager for a lot, simply opening that lot's detail page records a walkthrough for today — no extra steps required. This happens once per day per lot; revisiting a lot you've already walked today doesn't create a duplicate record.
If you're not the assigned project manager, nothing is recorded automatically. Use the Tools menu instead.
The on-site requirement
So that walkthroughs reflect a real visit, an automatic walkthrough only records when your device's location is within 100 feet of the lot's pinned location on the map.
TPTM reads your device's location in the background when the walkthrough is recorded. You may be prompted to allow location access the first time.
When you're too far from the lot
If you open a lot's page while more than 100 feet from its pin, you'll see a message like:
You're about 350 ft from this lot's pinned location — on-site walks require being within 100 ft.
Next to it is a Walk anyway cue. It opens the lot's walk history and starts recording, so you can confirm the walk regardless of distance — logged honestly as completed off-site. Use it when you've confirmed the lot's progress another way (a call with the trade partner, photos sent to you) but aren't physically on-site.
💡 Tip: If a lot keeps showing this message even when you're standing on it, double-check that the lot's pinned location is accurate — a mis-placed pin is the most common cause. See Community and Lot Locations.
Seeing a Lot's Walk History
Open the lot's detail page and click the Lot walk tile near the top. The Lot walk history window opens with a banner telling you whether the lot has been walked today, followed by the lot's walks, newest first.
Each walk shows the date and how long ago it was, the time of day, who walked the lot, and — when a location was captured — how far they were from the lot's pin and how precise that reading was. When no location was captured the row says so instead. Every row carries one status:
The status describes where the walk happened, not how it was entered. A walk you record yourself while standing on the lot reads On-site, exactly like an automatic one.
Missed days
Working days with no walk are filled in as Missed rows between the walks, so a gap in coverage is visible instead of invisible. Weekends and your builder's holidays are skipped — they're never counted as missed — and today is never shown as missed, because the day isn't over yet.
Missed days are only filled in back to the oldest walk on screen. A lot that has never been walked shows an empty state instead of a wall of red.
Older walks
The list starts with the most recent walks. Click Load more at the bottom of the list to bring in older ones; the missed days fill in alongside them. When there's nothing older left, the button disappears.
ℹ️ Note: Opening the walk history never asks for your location — only pressing Mark lot as walked does. Anyone who can see the lot can read its history; the recording button appears only if you have permission to record walks.
On a phone, the history opens as a panel from the bottom of the screen. Swipe it down or tap outside it to close.
Marking a Lot as Walked
Any user with permission to edit lots can record a walkthrough directly — not just the assigned project manager, and regardless of distance. You record it from the walk history window.
Open the lot's detail page.
Click the Lot walk tile to open the walk history — or click Tools → Mark lot as walked, which opens the same window and starts this straight away.
Click Mark lot as walked at the bottom of the window.
TPTM checks your location and shows you exactly how the walk will be recorded.
Click Confirm walk to record it, or Cancel.
Nothing is recorded until you click Confirm walk. Cancelling, or closing the window, records nothing.
The preview tells you the truth before you commit:
ℹ️ Note: A manual walkthrough never fails on distance — it always records. What changes is how it's recorded. If you happen to be on-site when you use it, it's stored as a plain on-site walk, not as an override.
Understanding the Walk Status Indicator
The Lot walk tile near the top of the lot's detail page shows the current walkthrough state. Whichever state it's in, clicking it opens the lot's walk history.
The not-location-confirmed warning is driven by the stored walk record, so it persists on later visits until a location is successfully captured for that day.
One Record Per Day
TPTM keeps a single walk record per lot per calendar day, and the first walk of the day owns it — a later walk that day never overwrites who walked it or whether it was on-site. The one exception is location: if the first walk stored no position and a later walk captures one, the missing coordinates are filled in on the existing record.
ℹ️ Privacy: Location access is used only to measure your distance from the lot's pin and to stamp the walk record. Raw coordinates are never shared with or displayed to other users.
