Map Tip Settings

  1. Display selected fields in a MapTip as the user hovers the cursor over the map. To add a Map Tip, click and hold on the FIELD which holds the attribute to be displayed.
  2. Now simply drag the field into the text box for Map Tips. You can drag multiple Fields into the Map Tips text box.

    3. Note: To change the order in which they are displayed, we recommend removing all Fields and adding them back in the order you wish them to appear.

  3. Map Tip Options- Prefix: Under MapTips, the user can choose to display the Field Name Prefix. This adds the field name in front of each MapTip entry for clarity.
  4. To enable prefix display, toggle the Field Name Prefix to On.
  5. Map Tip Options- Hyperlinks: Hyperlinks can be displayed as part of the MapTip. To do this, choose a field which includes a fully structured HTML anchor. For e.g;
    6. <a href="https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/
list-entry/1266307" target="_blank">Listed Building Link</a>

  6. This displays the Maptip with the hyperlink specified above:

    7. Note: We recommend setting the target to _blank as the hyperlink is opened in a new tab when clicked.

    8. <a href="https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/
the-list/list-entry/1193778">

width="60" height="30" target="_BLANK"></a>
