Managing Object Types - Favourites and Hidden Objects

EventLab allows you to customise your object library to make commonly used items easier to access and reduce clutter for your team.

Favourites

The Favourites Library allows your team to quickly access the map objects they use most often. Favourites are organisation-wide, meaning anything added to the Favourites Library will be visible to all members of your organisation.

Viewing Favourites

Favourite items are displayed at the top of the left-hand menu, making it easy to find and access commonly used assets.

Because favourites are shared across the organisation, your entire team can quickly access the most important items without needing to search through the full map structure.

Adding an Item to Favourites

You can add any map entity to your Favourites Library using either of the following methods.

Method 1: Left-Hand Menu

  1. Locate the item in the left-hand menu.

  2. Click the Star icon next to the item.

The item will immediately be added to your Favourites Library.

To remove it from Favourites, simply click the star again.

Method 2: Right-Click Menu

  1. Right-click on an object on the map.

  2. Select Toggle Favourite.

The object will be added to or removed from the Favourites Library.

Removing a Favourite

To remove an item from the Favourites Library:

  • Click the Star icon again in the left-hand menu, or

  • Right-click the object and select Toggle Favourite

The item will immediately be removed from the Favourites section.


Hidden Types

Hidden Types allow your organisation to remove unused or rarely used object types from the left-hand menu, helping keep your workspace organised.

Hidden Types are organisation-wide, meaning they are hidden for all users in your organisation.

Hide an Object Type

  1. Locate the object type in the left-hand menu.

  2. Click the Eye icon next to the object type.

The object type will immediately be hidden from the left-hand menu.

Unhide an Object Type

  1. Select the Three Dots menu in the top toolbar.

  2. Select Hidden Types.

  3. Find the object type you want to restore.

  4. Select Unhide.

Missing an Object Type?

If an expected object type is not appearing in the left-hand menu, check Three Dots → Hidden Types to see if it has been hidden by another member of your organisation.
