Improved Map Marker Form

Originally, the Map Markers form used to only show engineer jobs currently selected within the Diary.  This meant that the Diary had be remain open when viewing map markers.

Now, the Map Markers form can be used independently of the diary, allowing you to choose which engineers and date to view.

Within Staff Member's maintenance, you can now select a specific marker pin colour for each engineer (previously, the system would choose a random marker pin colour for each engineer).

You can also set a specific marker pin colour to represent different status codes/descriptions.  Jobs matching those status descriptions can also be displayed on the Map Markers form.

For example if you have a status description called 'Parts Awaiting Fitting', you can now show these jobs as separate markers on the Map Markers form, alongside the selected engineers.  This may allow you to divert a nearby engineer to a job awaiting a parts fitting, thus saving a specific visit.
