What is Pin Styling?
Pin Styling allows you to adjust the styling of a pin (company location/business listing/generator) according to it's associated metadata fields.
For example, in a Fast Food network, you may wish to see all of your existing stores on the map at once, but still be able to visually determine the different format types of each site.
In the image below, we have visualised all existing sites in a Fast Food network, and styled the pins by their 'Format Type' metadata field to represent which of their existing locations are Freestanding, Shopping Strip or Food Court types.
Note that styled pins will be listed in the locations legend.
How to Style Pins
On any group of locations that has metadata (site info or confidential details):
- Click on Filter

Styling a Pin
Pin can be styled using default pins from our library, you can customise pins or upload your own.
