Directory

Mapplic includes an integrated, filterable directory of locations that offers diverse configurations and layouts to meet a wide range of requirements.

Layout-related settings, such as landscape/portrait mode, container/sidebar size, display type (list/grid), and the number of columns, can be found within the responsivity section of the Settings panel.

Search and filters

Search and filtering features improve the ease of location discovery for end users. Filters are not restricted to the directory; they also impact the map by highlighting the found locations.

Groups

Groups are used to categorize locations and enable advanced filtering. After defining a group, locations can be assigned to it through the group location property.

Groups can be reordered using drag-and-drop.

Custom filters

When multiple filters are active, their effects accumulate, resulting in the display of locations that meet the criteria of all active filters.

Filters can be reordered using drag-and-drop.

While adding a groups type filter is trivial, setting up checkbox or dropdown filters require basic knowledge of JavasScript.
