# Selectors and Filters

<figure><img src="/files/HAxONvvi8RgI5asTsNDw" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### 1. Selectors

Selectors define the scope of your workspace. Start here before applying any filters.

**Venue** The top-level selector. Choose which Venue you want to work in — all filters and map data will apply to the selected Venue. If your solution has multiple Venues, switching here reloads the map for that Venue.

**Building** Narrow your view to one or more Buildings within the selected Venue. Useful when your Venue spans a large campus and you want to focus on a specific building.

**Floor** Available when a single Building is selected. Choose one or more Floors to display on the map.

> **Tip:** Start by selecting your Venue, then your Building, then your Floor. This top-down approach gives you the most focused view before you start editing.

### 2. Filters

Filters let you narrow down which Locations appear on the map and in the list. You can combine as many as you need.

**Display Options** Toggle whether Rooms, POIs, and Areas are shown on the map and in the list. Useful if you want to focus on one type of location at a time.

**Types** Filter by Location Type — for example, show only "Meeting Rooms" or "Restrooms." Types are defined in Solution Details.

**Categories** Filter by Category — for example, show only locations tagged as "Food" or "Accessibility." A location can belong to multiple categories. Categories are managed in Solution Details.

**App User Roles** Show only locations that are visible to a specific App User Role. Helpful when you want to verify what a particular user group can see and access. App User Roles are configured in Solution Settings.

### 3. Search

Click the search icon to find a specific location by:

* **Name** — the display name of the location
* **Location ID** — the unique system ID
* **Alias** — any alternative names set on the location
* **External ID** — an ID from an external system, if set

> **Tip:** If you can't find a location, check that your active filters aren't hiding it. Try clearing all filters and searching again.

### 4. List View and Bulk Edit

**List View** The List View button expands a panel showing all locations that match your active filters. This is useful for getting a full overview without having to find locations one by one on the map.

**Bulk Edit** When you select one or more locations in List View, the Bulk Edit button becomes active. Use it to update multiple locations at once, including:

* Location Type
* Location Activity
* Searchability
* Categories
* Aliases

> **Tip:** Bulk Edit is a big time-saver when you need to make the same change across many locations — for example, changing the type of all rooms on a newly renovated floor.

### 5. Floor Selector

The Floor Selector on the right side of the map lets you switch between floors directly without changing your Building filter. Click a floor number to jump to that floor on the map.
