The Information Bar and Information Panel provide quick access to key measurement, stakeout, positioning, and design information while working in Siteworks.
Both can be independently configured for:
- Measure Mode
- Stake Mode
Settings are also saved separately for:
- The Information Bar
- The Information Panel
This allows you to customise the information displayed for different workflows and field activities.
Information Bar
The Information Bar displays real-time values related to your current operation.
You can choose to display the Information Bar:
- At the top of the screen
- At the bottom of the screen
- Hidden
To configure the Information Bar, go to:
Home > Settings > Info Bar/Panel > Information Bar
Navigating the Information Bar
When multiple information fields are enabled, you can view additional values by:
- Selecting the ◀ and ▶ arrows on either side of the Information Bar.
- Swiping horizontally across the Information Bar.
Information Panel
The Information Panel is a separate display that can be added to one of the Measurement screen panels.
To configure the Information Panel:
Home > Settings > Info Bar/Panel > Information Panel
Unlike the Information Bar, the Information Panel can display a larger collection of information simultaneously.
When displayed in the main panel, the title changes based on the current mode:
- Measure Information Panel
- Stake Information Panel
A shortcut to the Info Bar/Panel settings is also available from the settings icon in the upper-right corner of the Information Panel.
Active Information Fields
Some Information Bar fields are interactive and can be selected to directly access the related settings.
These are known as Active Fields and are displayed using white text on a dark-grey background.
Examples include:
- Antenna Height
- Target Height
- Stakeout Line Offset
- Surface Offset
- Second Surface Settings
Selecting one of these fields opens the relevant configuration screen.

Decimal Place Settings
The Settings tab within Configure Information Bar/Panel allows you to control the number of decimal places displayed throughout the Information Bar and Information Panel.
Navigation:
Home > Settings > Info Bar/Panel > Settings
Note: This is a display-only setting. All measurements are still stored internally at full precision regardless of the number of decimal places shown on screen.
SITECH Tip: Configure different Information Bar and Information Panel layouts for Measure and Stake modes. Displaying only the values relevant to your current workflow helps reduce screen clutter and makes important information easier to access in the field.
