How to change the name of places on the Live Map to match the name with which they are locally referred.
Organizations have different ways of naming roads and parts or sections of roadways. While standardized naming and classification is necessary as a baseline, using aliases provides the ability to configure customized roadway names (aliases) for corridors and crossroads through the platform.
To enable Alias Management, it must first be enabled in a Role by a Manager.
- Mouse over the user name in the upper right corner, then select the gear icon to go to Settings.
- Select Role in the left frame, then either edit an existing role, or create a new role.
- Scroll down to the Permissions and select either the Manage or View function for Alias management, then click Save.
- The Manage function allows the user to enable, disable and make changes to the Alias management feature.
- The View function allows the user to view the Alias management feature.
To access the alias change log, follow the steps below:
- Mouse over the user name in the upper right right corner, then select the gear icon to go to Settings.
- In the left frame, scroll down to Live Map the select Aliases Management. The Alias History Log will be displayed.
- You may search an existing alias by selecting from the categories at the top of the screen. Categories are: Submitted by (Name of submitor), Type (Crossroad or Corridor), Submitted At (Date) and a search field. Once you have entered any relevant search information, click Apply.
A pop-up screen will display the alias, the original location name, and the area of the map where the alias is applied.
