When a board is enabled with Maps, you can add a map feature to records for those boards. Since administrators control the boards you can access and which boards are Maps-enabled, the way in which you add a map feature to a board record may vary. Additionally, custom boards may require you to consult your WebEOC administrator for specific details on how to associate a board record with a specific map feature. The general process for associating a board record with a map location is outlined below.
Open the control panel menu and, from the Boards section, click the applicable Maps-enabled board.
On the board's landing page, click the Create button.
In the create window that opens, locate and click the Map button or link.
Tip: If the Map button or link appears next to an Address field, such as in the Shelter board, you can optionally enter the address of the location to be mapped. After entering the address, click the Map button or link. In the mapping window that opens, you are immediately taken to the location you identified, and a point for this location is already added to the map.
Additionally, if you select Map using the locate attribute, your current location is automatically found.
In the mapping window that opens, use the icons in the upper left corner to set the feature type of the map feature you want associated with this particular board record.

If needed, to clear the map, click the eraser icon.
To stop drawing on the map, click the blue hand icon.
Click Save. The mapping window closes and a green check mark appears to the right of the Map link on the board view.
From the board view, click Save.
The record is saved and appears on the board. A Map link or button is associated with the entry and, when clicked, takes you directly to the location on the map you just identified.
