This how to describes how you can configure the naming convention of a Geo Plugin. There are ways the name is determined, in this sequence.s:

  1. Unique name per feature based on attribute of that feature
  2. Name specified for the Geo Link that is matched to feature.
  3. Name specified for the Geo Plugin adding the feature.

Unique name attribute

Editor → Tools (Ribbon tab) → Geo Plugins (Ribbon bar)
How to set up a name attribute used by an Area Geo Plugin to name features:
  1. Ensure a Project Source is set up from which the relevant Areas can be obtained.
  2. Open the overview for Geo Plugins.
  3. At the bottom of the left panel, select the AREAS type and select "Add".
  4. Select the newly created Geo Plugin.
  5. In the right panel, click on the source's "Select", and select the Project Source which relates to the desired source, for example GeoJSON.
  6. Configure the layer (if applicable for the specified Project Source). Configure the Attribute for the name.
  7. The name attribute for features used by the Geo Plugin is now configured.

Name based on Geo Link

Editor → Tools (Ribbon tab) → Geo Plugins (Ribbon bar)
How to set up a geo link used by an Area Geo Plugin to match and name features:
  1. Ensure a Project Source is set up from which the relevant Areas can be obtained.
  2. Open the overview for Geo Plugins.
  3. At the bottom of the left panel, select the AREAS type and select "Add".
  4. Select the newly created Geo Plugin.
  5. In the right panel, click on the source's "Select", and select the Project Source which relates to the desired source, for example GeoJSON.
  6. Select the tab "Geo Links"
