SimplyMap Quick Tips
In this week’s write up we want to share some quick tips and tricks that you might not yet know about in SimplyMap.
TIP #1
Did you know that you can share your work? SimplyMap allows you to quickly and easily share your work with other SimplyMap users. Here’s how:
Click on the drop down by the tab you’d like to share, and click SHARE
After selecting share, you will be provided with a customized URL.
Copy and send this URL to another SimplyMap user. When the user clicks the link, they will be presented with the work you completed.
TIP #2
Accidentally closed out a tab, or trying to review some of your past work? No worries! In SimplyMap, closing out a report or map tab will not delete your work. In fact, your old work can be easily recovered and opened. Here’s how:
At the top right of SimplyMap, you’ll see a button for “Saved Tabs”.
Once selected, a dialog box will appear with your current tabs, and previously created reports/maps. Hover over the work in question, and select open. SimplyMap will reopen the selected report or map.
NOTE: If you select DELETE from a tab’s dropdown, your work will be permanently deleted and not stored in your Saved Tabs.
TIP #3
Don’t want to see colored data for the areas around your target location? Apply a location mask. Here’s a before and after shot:
Before:
