Booth numbers, tour stops, parade positions — sometimes every pin needs a little label. On Proxi, marker numbers come from a field on your collection, so they work everywhere the data does.
Step 1: Put the Numbers in a Field
Use one of these field types (add one in the fields editor if you don't have it yet — see Setting Up Categories, Fields, and Labels):
Number — for plain numeric ordering, like tour stops 1 through 20.
Short code — for booth-style codes like "A3" or "001" (up to 8 letters, numbers, or hyphens).
Fill in each place's value one at a time in the edit panel, or all at once in the Bulk Edit spreadsheet. (Existing maps that used the older Point Number field will find it in the list too.)
Step 2: Show Them on the Pins
In the map editor, open the Markers section.
Expand Numbers on markers.
Under Number field, pick your field. Choose No numbers to turn labels off again.
Each pin now shows its value on top of its icon. Leave a place's value empty and its pin simply shows no label — handy when only some places are numbered.
Bonus: Print and Sort by Number
The same field powers your printed handouts — the print page can sort the list of places by point number, so the map and the list match. See Printing Your Map.
