Edit your map features

For each layer, you can add features which contain geometry and data properties to your map.

Map features consist of:

• polygons
• lines
• points

Select a map and then a layer where you want to edit your map features. Click the pencil icon to bring up the feature options to begin editing. When you edit these features, you are editing the geometry and the data properties that comprise these features.

You can edit:

• data properties from the table view
• the geometry of features on the map view
• single feature properties in the left panel by just clicking on a feature on the map

Edit data properties

Data properties can be directly edited in the table view.

1. Select a map.
2. Select a layer.
3. Click the icon shown here.

4. Click the data in the row and column you want to change. You can also add and delete columns to add or remove data properties for all features in your dataset.

Edit single feature properties

You can edit the geometry of features on the map view by following these steps:

1. Select a map.
2. Select a layer.
3. Click the geometry of the feature you want to edit. You can edit the dataset, and add or edit a style group by clicking the appropriate single feature property.

Multimedia URLs

Multimedia URLs can be added to interactive cards and viewed by hovering over a previously created point on the map. The URLs can point to videos or additional card information. A point can have multiple interactive cards, each being displayed below the others.

• Multimedia content types can be audio, video, PDF document, or image
• Any property with a multimedia URL in your data is previewed, and does not need to only use the name URL
• If there is no property with a multimedia URL you can add a point, add a column using the data table, and make it viewable

All property fields that contain multimedia URLs will automatically show the multimedia file on the interactive cards. Just make sure that the URL’s property field appears above the line in the Cards section in the left panel. The URLs can point to images, audio clips, videos, PDFs or simply websites with additional card information.
