Hi Everyone,
I am working on updating the ‘Location’ field in the worldwide map. I added longitude/latitude in bulk via import custom properties. The nodes are correctly placed on the Worldwide Map, but the location name is displayed as “unknown” when I hover each of the pins.
My goal is to populate the WorldWide map location name from an existing custom property.
As a test, I edited one of the map pins through:
Manage Worldwide Map > Edit Objects at this location > Name of Location
After saving the test value, I reviewed the following SWIS entities:
- Orion.WorldMap.Point
- Orion.WorldMap.PointLabel
The test value shows in the Orion.WorldMap.PointLabel.Title, and the corresponding Orion.WorldMap.Point record. In my test data, the point’s InstanceID matches the LabelId.
This appears to be separate from the standard Orion.Nodes.Location property, as changing/editing this value had no effect on the Worldwide map.
Environment:
- SolarWinds HCO 2026.2.0
- Pins are automatically generated from latitude and longitude properties.
- Multiple nodes may share the same latitude and longitude and therefore appear under one map location.
- Automatic Geolocation is not enabled.
My Questions are:
- Is there a supported method in the SolarWinds Web Console to bulk-populate the Worldwide Map Location field, such as though custom property import or another map management function?

- Does not have information on bulk modifying the name of the location.
- If not, and I use PowerShell/SWIS, are Orion.WorldMap.Point and Orion.WorldMap.PointLabel the only entities involved, or are there additional map entities or relationships that must be updated?
Thank you in advance!
