Where: web portal, Dashboard, then Configurations, to choose the label. Then Layers on the web map and Map Layers in the app, to show or hide it. Needs: the Org Admin role to choose the label; anyone can show or hide it.
When you finish: each pole on the web map and in the app shows a value your crew recognizes, such as its SCID, right beside its icon.
Choose the label field
On the Dashboard, open Configurations and pick your configuration.
Go to Data templates and scroll down to Map labels.
For each pole or custom point template, pick the field to show, such as SCID. Only text and number fields are offered. Leave No label on any template that should not show one.
Click Save configuration.
Labels stay off until someone picks a field. A configuration built from a Katapult model with an SCID attribute does not turn them on by itself. If you are building one from a Katapult model, the importer’s last step has the same Map labels box.
Show or hide labels on the web
Open Data, then Utility Map, and select the job.
Click Layers on the left of the map.
Under Labels, use the checkbox named for your field, such as SCID labels. If your templates use different fields, it reads Point labels.
Labels are on by default. Your choice is remembered in this browser for that job.
Show or hide labels on the phone
Labels in the app need UtilityScout 1.4.13 or later. Update from the App Store if you do not see them.
On the map, tap Layers (the stacked squares on the right).
In Map Layers, under Labels, use the switch named for your field, such as Show SCID labels. It sits above Show span lengths; each switch works on its own.
Tap Done.
Labels are on by default. The switch applies to every job on that phone. Labels also hide when the layer they belong to is hidden.
If labels are missing
Check these in order:
Check | Why |
The app is 1.4.13 or later | Earlier versions do not show labels |
A label field is chosen for that template | Without one there is no labels switch at all |
The pole has a value in that field | A blank value has nothing to show |
The labels switch or checkbox is on | Anyone can hide labels |
Fields holding lists or maps, such as Katapult pole tags, never show a label, and long values are shortened with an ellipsis.
