Create and Manage Maps

When creating your Plans, you will first select a Map. A Map is similar to a template and each Map has a collection of Pins to meet an objective. In the portal, you can select from a list of available Maps or easily create custom Maps. 

In this article, we will explain:

  • How to access the Maps available in your portal

  • How to edit a Map
  • How to delete a Map
