Using the Admin: Landmark Tab

This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to use the Admin: Landmark Tab to manage landmarks from a centralized location.

The Landmark Admin tab gives you a centralized view of all your landmarks in one easy-to-use table. From here, you can search, sort, and filter your landmark list, select any landmark to view its details, and create or edit landmarks directly — including their name, address, area, color, and group. You can also export the table contents via a .csv file.

This article walks you through how to navigate the Landmark Admin tab and manage your landmarks with ease.

Viewing the Admin: Landmark Tab

Your landmarks are displayed in a configurable, sortable table format showing Landmark Name, Group, Color, Shape, and Address columns. You can configure your view by adding or removing table columns or adjusting the number of landmarks displayed per page.

The Landmark Name, Shape, and Address columns can be sorted (ascending or descending alphabetically).

Configuring the Table

You can edit the table to see the data most important to you using Edit Table Columns. Click the Overflow button to access the Edit Table Columns panel.

The following columns are available:

  • Landmark Name* (cannot be removed)

  • Group*

  • Color*

  • Shape*

  • Address*

  • Lat/Lon

*Shown by default

Check the box next to the columns you would like to view and click Save.

Adjusting the Number of Landmarks per Page

You can adjust how many landmarks are shown per page (25, 50, 100, 200) using the drop-down at the bottom right.

Searching the Table

You can easily search for a Landmark in the table using the Search field. Start typing in the field, and the system will automatically begin narrowing the table data to fit your entered search.

Filtering the Table

Managing Landmarks

With a centralized view of your landmarks, you can easily manage your landmarks from the Admin: Landmark tab. Any changes made to landmarks from this tab are reflected on the Map page and in Advanced Administration.

There is no default radius. The Area field will populate automatically after you have created your shape.
