Adding a placemark

A placemark marks a position on the map. At its most basic, a placemark is indicated by a default icon and stores geographic location.

Adding a placemark

To add a placemark, pan to a position on the map centered by the crosshair and tap . Users will be shown the Placemark details screen before a placemark is actually created.  This screen (shown under Placemark details) allows users to specify the name of the placemark, specify the symbol, attach pictures, and set any attributes. Once you have set the necessary information, tap Submit or tapping in the upper right corner, and the placemark will be created.

Placemark details

On the Add or Edit Placemark screen, you can change the placemark title, icon, enter a description, add photos, edit the location coordinate, and edit attribute schema.

For more information about attribute schemas, please see this article located in the Advanced Data Collection section of the Help Centre.
