Hidden Labels
- Elliot Dooleysmith
The new markers have the option to hide the label either by space type or individual resources.
This option is only available when using the new marker style.
Some experience with JSON is recommended but not required.

Hide Label by Space type
This option is similar to the Show Text option available when adding a new Map Resource Object (Marker).
However, this option will automatically be applied to all markers for the selected SpaceType.
Combined with the Small Markers this can be useful for more densely populated areas, such as desks or parking spaces where the name label might not be as important.
How to configure
Similar to the new marker style, these options can be configured via the Stylesheet.
Navigate to the Stylesheets page, found under the Administration Settings menu.
Find the correct Stylesheet from the list and click the Edit icon ().
You will see the Stylesheet editor, it should look similar to the above.
You will need to modify the JSON data found above the line /** LINE REQUIRED - CSS BELOW **/.
Below is an example of a hidden marker configuration.
In this example, 3 different Space Types have been configured to not display their Tooltip/Labels (Parking, Desk and Huddle spaces).
Any existing SpaceType value can be used.
"hide_labels": ["Parking","Desk","Huddle Space"],The “hide_labels” value expects an array of SpaceTypes.
These need to be listed inside the square brackets “[…]” Each SpaceType needs to be in quotation marks, separated by commas. The final value listed should not have a comma after it.
This option will hide the label for all resources with the specified Space Type.
It can also be applied at a more granular level, to each marker by using the Show Text option.
Check out our Map Resource Object guide for more information.

Hide Label by Space type & Zoom
This option is similar to the setting above, however, it allows for the resource label to be shown when a user zooms in.
This can be useful for high-density areas such as desks, where having the label is still useful but can be difficult to read with many resources close together.
How to configure
Navigate to the Stylesheets page, found under the Administration Settings menu.
Find the correct Stylesheet from the list and click the Edit icon ().
You will see the Stylesheet editor, it should look similar to the above.
You will need to modify the JSON data found above the line /** LINE REQUIRED - CSS BELOW **/.
Below is an example of the hidden label by zoom configuration.
In this example, two Space types have been configured to hide their labels for specific zoom levels.
Any existing Space type value can be used.
"hide_labels_zoom": {
"Desk"[0.5,-4],
"Parking":[1,-4]
},The hide_labels_zoom value expects an object of Space types which each have their own array.
These need to be listed inside the curly braces “{…}”.
