On the left-hand side of the Mapit gadget, some additional functions are available for easy access.
Zoom buttons
Let's you zoom in and out, obviously!
Issue selectors
Use the issue selectors to select a subset of the issues currently displayed in the map.
Once you've made your selection, Mapit will open a new browser tab, showing the selected issues in the JIRA issue navigator. This is handy for further processing of the issues, either one by one, or through JIRA's bulk edit function. To cancel a selection, just click Escape or the Cancel button.
The following selectors are available:
Polygon selector
Click on a position in the map close to one of the issues you want to select. Keep clicking to mark the area you want to select issues from; a line will be drawn from the previous point. Close the polygon by clicking the first position again.
Rectangle selector
Rectangle selector: click on the position in the map where you want the top left corner of the rectangle to be, then drag until you've covered the area you want to select issues from.
Circular selector
Click on the position in the map where you want the center of the circle to be, then drag until you've covered the area you want to select issues from.
Locate me
Clicking on the locate me button will reposition the map so that the map center corresponds with your current position. This feature makes use of your browser's geolocation feature, so you need to allow this in order for this function to work.
