Map Markers

Site Maps can be marked-up to indicate the positions of Locations. Each Location within a site can be represented once on each uploaded Site Map.

Each marker's label, when clicked, will navigate to the page of the Location which it represents. When hovering over a marker's pin, a pop-up will appear which will show some details about the Location.

Map Markers in Location Pages

Once a Location has been added to a map with a marker, the map will begin displaying on that Location's page (on the Details card , in the Maps section).

From a Location's page, you can open up and view all the maps with that Location referenced. Markers can be edited and deleted from this view, but they cannot be added. Markers can only be added from the Site view page.

Note

When viewing the markers from a Location's page, the current Location's marker will appear opaque while markers on the same map for other locations will appear transparent. This helps the current location stand out on the map.

Updating and Deleting Map Markers

Markers can be changed and deleted using a similar process as adding them.

Once the modal window for a map is opened:

1. Click on the Place Markers button (or Edit Markers button in the Location view) to enter the marker edit mode
2. Click on the marker you want to edit to select it
3. Use the text alignment, color, and delete control buttons to make changes to the marker
4. Drag the marker to a new position on the map as desired
5. Once done editing, click the Save Markers button to save your markers
