Activity Tab

The Activity Tab provides a chronological feed of additions and changes to features on the map. By clicking and holding on an Activity Group, it is possible to highlight individual Activity Groups on the map or select them for export or bulk modifications.

• The activity feed can be filtered by author or feature types using the search box at the bottom (e.g. “John Smith”, “Map Token”, “Photo”).

• The checkbox at the bottom also allows deleted features to be displayed on the map, which can be useful for undeleting/restoring features that have previously been deleted.

FireMapper Timeline

Scrolling through the activity feed will activate FireMapper Timeline mode on the map. This will display the features on the map as they appeared at that snapshot in time. This includes on the Features and Export tabs, allowing export of the map at that snapshot in time in a variety of formats. From any tab, click on the blue timeline banner at the top of the sidebar to exit timeline mode and return to the live map view.

Note that FireMapper Timeline mode only affects shared features on the map. It does not affect the display of:

• Location sharing

• Shared overlays

• Base layers (e.g. satellite imagery) that change over time

• Live feeds (e.g. weather stations, traffic incidents)

• Hotspot overlays

Note

The FireMapper Timeline captures the state of the map as it was shared with other users at that point in time. This means that observations captured offline will appear in the Activity Tab and on the map in the FireMapper Timeline at the later time when they were shared to other users. The created and updated times viewable when selecting those features will still correctly show the time the observations were originally captured.

How to access the Activity Timeline:

1. Open a map in the Portal and select Activity from the sidebar.

2. Scroll through the Activity Feed.

3. To access deleted features, navigate to the bottom of the Activity sidebar. There is a checkbox labelled Show deleted features on the map. Tick or untick this checkbox to show and hide all deleted features.

How to export a map at a point in time:

3. Select Export from the sidebar.
