Views created by other team members

• You cannot update, make edits or delete a saved view that was created by another team member, you can always create a new view from an existing view if you want to duplicate or make updates.

View table data on your map

You can quickly view your saved table views on your map for geospatial analysis.

To view your table data on your map:

1. Go to any saved table view using the main app navigation sidebar on the left of your screen.
2. Select the saved view that you'd like to see using the dropdown on the top left.
3. Then, click the View on map button at the top right of the table.
4. This will bring you to the map page and you'll see each row from your table represented by a blue dot on the map. Clicking on the dot will take you directly to the object or record.

You can also add one or more of your saved table views to the map using the Map layers panel. Open this panel using the layers button on bottom right of the map.
