Use Current Viewport as Default

This button automatically sets the "Default Focus" and "Default Zoom" fields, which define the focus location and zoom level that the map "snaps" to when the record is selected. For example, if the record is represented by a vector annotation on the map, and the user clicks on the title of the record in the Waypoints panel, the map will move to the location and zoom level defined by these fields. Think of these fields as a related pair that work together to set the record's "framing" or "home base" in the exhibit.

To set a default focus and zoom, just move the map to the exact location and zoom level that you want to use, and click the "Use Current Viewport as Default" to insert the current values into the inputs.

If no values are provided for these fields, Neatline will fall back on an automatically-computed focus location by centering the map around the geometric extent of the record's vector annotations on the map. This can often work well without any modification, but there are a couple of cases when you might want to explicitly set a custom focus:
