Creating Map Scenarios

1. Zoom to your desired location, set your map settings
2. Set any filters using the advanced filters and filter legend
3. Add any extra settings such as labels and layer colors
4. Press the ‘Create Map Scenario’ button. You will be prompted to enter a custom URL parameter, you may enter an easy to remember name such as ‘Ash Trees in Poor Condition’. If you use spaces in your name they will be dashes in the URL. If your name has been used before, a number will be appended to your URL to differentiate it. You may also choose to have the app generate one for you as an id number if you leave the name field blank.

1. Your map will now be saved. Copy your new URL by clicking on Copy Link and share with your colleagues.
