The Easiest Way to Group Your Map Data in Maptive (From Scratch) - Maptive IQ

Описание: Learn how to set up groups in your map by adding a new Category column, then update markers one‑by‑one or in bulk using the lasso and batch edit tools. This method works even if your source sheet doesn’t include a group field.

You’ll learn:

How to add a new column in the Data tab for grouping
When to use a default value vs. leaving cells blank
How to enable Grouping to see color changes as you edit
Two edit paths: split screen vs. marker pop‑out
How to select multiple locations with the lasso and run a Group Batch Edit
How to avoid overwriting other fields during bulk updates

Quick steps

Data tab → Add a new column (name it Category or any label you need).
Use Default value only when every row should share the same value.
Go to the map → turn on Grouping to visualize color changes while editing.
Edit single markers via Settings & Customization → Edit Data, update the new column.
For multiple markers, use the Lasso → Edit Data as a Group (Batch) → change only the target field.
Leave all other fields unchecked to prevent blanking them out.
Save to update markers and data rows.
