Map features
You may want to display trees, benches, fire hydrants and other objects visually on your CIMS map. This is what map features are for!
Add a map feature
- In the top navigation bar, click "Map features". From the dropdown, click "New map feature".
- Your default map feature shape will appear on the map. Use the options in the right-hand flyout to change the feature shape, color, size and rotation. Change the position of the map feature using controls in the right-hand flyout or simply clicking on the map. Select a feature type from the dropdown, then click "Save".
- Don't see the feature type you'd like to use as an option in the dropdown? Click the navy plus button to the right of the dropdown to open a popup that will allow you to add a new feature type.
Your map feature has been saved to the database and will appear on your map!
To add a new map feature, click "Map features" from the navigation bar, then "New map feature".
Customize your map feature, including changing the color, shape, size, position and rotation. Choose a type (in the above case, it's a tree), then click "Save".

To edit a map feature, simply click on it on the map to load its information in the right-hand flyout.
Edit a feature's shape, including its color, position and rotation, by clicking the navy "Edit feature shape" button near the top of the flyout. Edit other fields associated with the map feature by clicking on the fields in question, making your changes, and clicking "Update".
