# Default Map Configurations

### 1.1. How to Configure Default Map Settings

The procedures listed in this section are for your 12d Synergy Administrator who will configure these default settings in the **12d Synergy Administration**application.

#### 1.1.1. Default Map view

You can set a default country, state, or region on a map if you know that your work is always in that specific area. The view thus set is displayed whenever you access Maps from the **12d Synergy Client**and**Administration** applications.

1. In the **12d Synergy Administration** application, select the **Mapping tab > Default Map View tab**.

2. Click on a point in the map and zoom in or zoom out with your mouse scroll to get to the desired view.

3. Click the **Save** button to save the displayed location as the default map view.

When you want to [search for a job via Maps](https://help.12dsynergy.com/docs/v5using12dsynergymaps), then this default view of the map is displayed.  

#### 1.1.2. Default Country

You can set a default country which will apply for all the entity searches in maps.

1. In the **12d Synergy Administration** application, select the **System Settings tab > General tab**.

2. Type “**Default Country**” in the **Filter** box.  
The settings are filtered, and the **Default Country** setting is displayed.
3. In the **Value** column, click the cell corresponding to the **Default Country**setting.
4. Enter the name of the country that you want to set as the default country.
5. Click the **Save**button.  
The entered country is set as the default country for all your searches using maps.  

  - If no country is mentioned for this setting, Australia is considered the default country.
  - When a default country is set here, but you choose to enter a different country while searching for an entity using maps, the latter country will be considered for the search.

#### 1.1.3. Default Job Attributes for Job Search

##### 1.1.3.1. From the 12d Synergy Administration application:

You can configure the job attributes that will enable your team to search for a required job when you log on to the **12d Synergy Client**application.

1. In the **12d Synergy Administration** application, select the **Searching tab > Jobs tab > Search Attributes tab**.
2. Select the job attributes that you want to use while searching for a job in the **12d Synergy Client** application. When searching with maps, we use the **Job Address** and **Job Location** attributes.  
These attributes are now displayed in the **Find a job** window in the **12d Synergy Client** application.

##### 1.1.3.2. From the 12d Synergy Client application:

Even if your 12d Synergy Administrator has not configured the Job attributes for searching for a required job in the **12d Synergy Client** application, you can still do it in the **12d Synergy Client** application.

1. After you log in to the **12d Synergy Client** application, the **Find a job** window is displayed.

#### 1.1.4. Default Range for Finding Jobs Surrounding a Specific Job
