By entering a text in the input field and hitting “Enter” on the keyboard, the list is refreshed with the targets having the name containing the entered text.

Under the search input text field, there two checkboxes:
-
Filter on extent: allows to filter the list with only the records visible in the map view
-
Display labels: if the administrator configure the map object to display some fields as label on the map, this option becomes available. When user activates it, a label window with the fields and its value is displayed closed to the marker on the map. Labels are displayed only if the marker is not within a cluster.
By clicking on record in the list, the map is centered on the marker and an information window is opened. Its contents is defined by the administrator when he set up the map object.
In the information, by default the name of the record is displayed in green. A click on it will navigate to the record page layout.
