Indexation properties

You can set the properties for an index, including filters and lists.

Filtering:

Specifies the type of information you want to include in an index. For example, you may want to include only road and building names. You can also edit redundant words, such as 'street' from appearing in the index.

Index List:

Generates an alphabetical listing of index entries with grid locations. You can add, delete, and modify list entries. Verification Mode, when enabled, is used to interactively locate a list entry within the current Map.

An index is generated in its own area on a Map, which is designated as Indexation. There is only one layer in an index area.

A grid created by the index is also generated in its own area on the Map and is designated as Index. There is only one layer in a grid area.
