Filter your map to focus on what matters

A busy map can hide the answer. Toggle layers on and off, hide pins by status, type, or value, and let viewers slice the map themselves with simple controls.

“Ability to share a viewable custom map with a search feature and ability for viewers to hide and unhide various polygons is ultimately huge.”

Why Scribble Maps for Data Filtering

Filter by any column

Filter pins by status, type, owner, value, or date. Use checkboxes, ranges, or a search box. Set the filters once and viewers get the same controls.

Layer toggles for viewers

Stack pins, regions, and shapes as separate layers. Viewers turn each one on and off without editing the map. Show what they need, hide the rest.

Search the map

Add a search box so viewers can jump to a pin or place by name. Great for big maps where pan and zoom alone takes too long.

Built for Data Filtering teams

A map with high value account pins shown in green and low value pins faded out, with a value slider on the side.

Show only top accounts

Hide low-value pins so reps focus on the accounts that matter this quarter. Flip the filter to see the long tail when you need it.

A map with three toggle layers labeled Sales, Service, and Competitors with checkboxes on the side and pins from each layer visible.

Toggle layers for the audience

Build one map for everyone. Add layers for sales, service, and competitors. Each viewer turns on the layers they care about and ignores the rest.

A map of job pins filtered to show only open jobs in red, with a date range picker and a status dropdown on the side.

Filter by status or date

Show only open jobs. Show only sites visited last month. A clean filter beats scrolling through every pin and helps the team move faster.

Frequently asked questions

What does map filtering mean?

Map filtering means hiding parts of a map so the rest is easier to read. You can hide pins, layers, or shapes by any column from your data, like status, type, or value.

Can my viewers change the filters themselves?

Yes. You can give viewers checkboxes, range sliders, and toggle controls. They change what shows on the map without being able to edit it.

Can I save a default view?

Yes. Save the filters and layers a viewer sees first. They can change them on their end if they want a different view.

Will filtering work on a phone?

Yes. The filter and layer controls work in any modern browser, on phones, tablets, and laptops.
