    Before you begin

    Role required: sn_ohs_im.admin

    About this task

    The location search bar on the map is used to find the exact location of the incident or observation. For more information on using location search while submitting an incident, see Submit a safety incident as an employee.

    Use this configuration to hide the search bar for users who prefer to set a location by selecting directly on the map.

    To enable the map component in the Health and Safety Workspace install the geomap component [sn_geo_map] plugin. For more information, see Additional features in Health and Safety.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Health and Safety > Health and Safety administration > Properties.
    2. In the Show location search on map property, select Yes to display the search bar, or No to hide it.
      The property is set to Yes by default.
    3. Select Save.

    Result

    • The property is applied to the map widget on the Add event details playbook step of the Health and Safety incident and observation form. For more information on working on a safety incident, see Work on a safety incident.
    • When set to No the search bar is hidden and users can still set a location by selecting the map directly.
