Incident Mapping Grid | Technosylva Help Center

The Incident Mapping Grid provides a tabular view of all features for the selected incident. Access the Incident Mapping Grid by selecting the grid icon near the top of the Incident Card - Mapping Tab.

Use the items per page control at the bottom left to adjust how many features are shown at once. Use the pagination controls to navigate between pages.

Hovering over a feature in the grid will highlight it on the map in yellow.

Add Features

Click the red + icon to open the Add Features Toolbar above the Incident Mapping Grid.

Geometry Type - Select Label, Point, Line, or Polygon feature type. The Add Features toolbar is dynamic and will change based on the geometry type selected.
Label - Visible for Label feature types only.
Standard - Sets the symbology standard applied to features (e.g. NWCG).

You can change Geometry Type, Standard, and Symbology in the same drawing session and continue to draw, allowing you to add multiple features rather than one feature at a time.
