Question on: Geopointe
Can I update fields directly from the Map?
Updating Fields
Geopointe includes an inline editing feature that allows you to make field updates from the Map. Any fields that have been added to your data set can either be edited from the record's info window on the Map, or from the list view below. Just click the pencil to bring up a dialog box to perform the change.
When done, confirm with the check box, or cancel with the X.
