In the Markers Inspector, pop-up menus and action menus let you add, remove, modify, and organize markers and marker groups. To see the pop-up menus, point to the group name or marker name.
Add a new marker to a group
Choose "New marker" where marker is the name of the group for standard groups (for example "New Task Priority") or the marker type (for example "New icon").Enter the name for the new marker and (for icon or color markers) select its icon or color.
Note: You can import resources from your address book - see Adding resources from your address book.
Add a new icon or tag group
Choose "New icon group" or "New tag group." Enter the new group's name, and then add markers to the group (described below).
Rename a group
Choose Rename; then enter the new group name.
Hint: If you don't want to display group names for tags choose View > Show & Hide and deselect Tag Group Names.
Make a group exclusive or non-exclusive
Choose "Make exclusive" or "Make non-exclusive." When a group is exclusive you can add only one icon from that group per topic. You cannot change this setting for some standard groups.
Sort a tags group
Choose Sort.
Delete a group
Choose Delete {group name}. You cannot delete some standard groups.
Any markers from the deleted group that are used on the map will remain on the map. In the Markers Inspector they are moved to the General Icons group as unnamed icons.
Rename a marker
Choose Rename. Enter the new name for the marker. If you rename a tag that's used on the map, the tags on the map will change to reflect the new name.
When you rename a General Icon it automatically moves to the Single Icons group.
Modify a marker
Choose Modify. Enter the new name for the marker and / or select a new icon or color. If you change the icon for a marker that's used on the map, the markers on the map do not change, and their icon becomes an unnamed General Icon.
Delete a marker
Choose Delete. If you delete an icon that's used on the map, the markers on the map do not change, and their icon becomes an unnamed General Icon.
Assign a set of markers for this map from a file

The markers from the file will replace the current set of markers in the Inspector.
