Two additional menus, File and Map, appear on the tab above the map, and the Occupancy ID, Name, Street, and Parcel filter fields appear above the map.

    Note: If an item in the list of occupancies does not have a geocoded location (a latitude and longitude value), the occupancy is marked with a red X over its push-pin icon in the list, and the occupancy is not identified on the map.
