Location
Active List
The Location active list options available to you from the drop down are configured by an administrator using the Reference Edit service.
Symbols
Select the Use Symbols check box to enable symbols to be displayed.
Symbol field
Enter the name of the field (in the file) containing the data that will control which symbol is displayed. The symbol set, that is associated with this field, maps symbols to text strings or numeric ranges. For each record in the file, the symbol is determined by the value in this field.
Symbol set
Double click (F3) to select the set that will be used to control the symbol that will be displayed. The symbol set maps symbols to text strings or numeric ranges. This determines a symbol for each value in the chosen (mapped) field. Right click (F4) to create or edit a symbol set.
Default symbol
Double-click the Symbol icon to choose a symbol. You can source symbols from any TrueType or OpenType font.
Size factor
Enter the factor that will be used to control the size of the displayed symbol. The default is 1.0.
Rotation
Enter the rotation angle values (0-360°) for the displayed symbols. A value of 0 will display the symbol in its natural orientation. A value of 90 will display the symbol rotated 90° in the clockwise direction.
Text

Specify the name of a Display field containing point annotation values. Typically, this will be the Description defined for each unit in Reference Edit.
If you do not select a filed from the Display field drop down, only the chosen symbol will be displayed.
Double click the Text Properties preview to select a font to be used to display the text annotation.
Colour Coding
Colour field
Enter the name of the field that contains values which will control the display colour. For example this could be a field with a status for the unit.
The colour set associated with this field maps colours to text strings or numeric ranges. For each record in the file, the display colour is determined by the value in this field.

Double click (F3) to select the set that will be used to control the collar display colour. The colour set maps colours to text strings or numeric ranges. This determines the colour for each value in the colour field. Right click (F4) to create or edit a colour set.
