Interacting with Events on the Map
When interacting with events on the map, if it is a single marker or a link event you can left-click the event to bring up the event information pop-up. The following figure shows the event pop-ups for a single and a link event:

Only one pop-up can be open at any given time. Left-clicking another marker will close any open pop-up and open the pop-up for that marker. You can still pan around the map using left-click and hold. You can also still zoom using the scroll wheel or the Zoom menu. When you open a pop-up, the map enters a paused state; event and custom layer data will not refresh during this state.
For link events clicking anywhere along the line will open the pop-up. Hover over the blue triangle at either end of the line event to display the name of the entity at that location. The event's pop-up contains the following four headings:
You can click each heading to expand that menu and display additional information for the selected event. For more information on what can be found in each section of the popup, click the headings in the list.

-
Click Open Popup to show the General, Weather and Events tabs.
-
Click the Event List to view the event list in the source relating to the entity.

Interacting with Cluster Markers on the Map
To interact with a Cluster Marker, you can click it to expand the cluster. This will automatically zoom the map to the highest level it can while keeping all the markers from within the cluster in view. If it reaches the max zoom level of the current basemap and there are still clustered markers you can click the cluster to spiderfy the markers out and see all markers in that cluster, see the images below.
