# Issues using KML files

 * Some KML questions.
 * When you add a KML how do you select the marker type used?
 * The tip in the settings against the marker label suggests it can be hidden in
   the settings Settings – Map – Misc – Type Labels but there is nothing in the 
   settings at this point?
 * When you have points added via a KML how can you select some or all to delete
   them? Or do you have to do this individually?
 * Is there a data table somewhere?

 * Hi [@mygrove](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mygrove/),
 * Thanks for reaching out! 🙂
 * > When you add a KML how do you select the marker type used?
 * This should use the default (i.e. first listed) Marker Type in [Settings](https://www.waymark.dev/docs/settings/#markers).
   You can drag to reorder them as you like.

 * Good catch! This refers to a Setting that was removed, I will be sure to correct
   this in the next release. Just FYI type labels (and just about anything) can 
   still be hidden with some simple CSS. This was an intentional decision to help
   reduce Setting bloat.

 * Individually I’m afraid (be sure to turn off [delete confirmations](https://www.waymark.dev/docs/settings/#misc-editor_options)!).
   Bulk Overlay selection is definitely on my list though!
 * > Is there a data table somewhere?
 * Could you expand on what you mean by this?
 * Cheers,

 * Thanks.
 * I was thinking it would be useful if all the ‘objects’ that have been added to
   a map could be presented in an editable table, rather than having to click on
   each object and edit in the map display.
 * |Object ID|Type (marker/line etc. ref only)|marker type|colour|Text|x coord|y
   coord|Map ID (ref only)|

 * Could you give a hint of the simple CSS to hide the Type Label.
 * Thanks.

 * Yes I agree – that’s a very powerful idea. I will think on that for future releases
   🙂

 * This will hide the Tooltip Type labels:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .waymark-type-label {
         display: none !important;
       }
       ```
