Engage+

The map can show every carrier in your pipeline, or just the ones that match a specific badge. Filter buttons above the map narrow the view to Hot Leads, High Value, New Entrants, At Risk, or HAZMAT only — useful for everything from drop-in route planning to focused outreach days.

## The Filter Buttons

   A row of filter buttons sits between the stats row and the facility selector. They're mutually exclusive — exactly one is active at any time:

##### All

Default view. Every lead in your pipeline appears on the map.

##### Hot Leads

Carriers approaching their FMCSA audit deadline. Highest-priority outreach.

##### High Value

Driver-to-truck ratio of 1.5x or higher. Volume opportunity.

##### New Entrants

Authority granted in the last 18 months. Still establishing operations.

##### At Risk

Conditional safety rating. Compliance crisis = strong outreach moment.

##### HAZMAT

Authorized for hazardous materials. Drivers need endorsement-tier physicals.

##### HAZMAT button is conditional

The HAZMAT filter button only shows if you have at least one HAZMAT-authorized carrier in your pipeline. If no carriers in your lists are HAZMAT-tagged, the button is hidden — no point showing a filter that returns zero results.

## How Filtering Affects the Map

   Filtering doesn't just hide non-matching markers — it also recomputes the cluster counts:

- **Individual markers** for non-matching carriers are hidden
- **Cluster bubbles** recalculate to show only the count of carriers in that cluster matching the active filter
- **Clusters with zero matches disappear** — if you filter to Hot Leads and a cluster has no hot leads, the bubble vanishes
- **The map view stays where you left it** — filtering doesn't auto-zoom or re-pan

##### Cluster sidebar respects the filter

If you click a cluster while a filter is active, the sidebar shows only the carriers matching the filter — not every lead in that cluster.

## Filter Persistence

- **Persists during pan and zoom** — the map re-renders with the filter applied
- **Persists when switching facility** — filter stays active even if you change which clinic to center on
- **Resets on page refresh** — refreshing the portal returns to the All filter
- **Clears when switching tabs** — leaving the Map tab and coming back resets to All

## Filtering Strategies

### For drop-in days

   Filter to **All**, then visually scan the 5-mile ring for clusters. The geographic concentration matters more than badge type for an in-person visit.

### For high-priority outreach blitzes

   Filter to **Hot Leads** first. These carriers have an audit deadline ticking, which is the strongest pull factor for adopting a new clinic.

### For high-revenue prospecting

   Filter to **High Value**. Carriers with high utilization ratios are usually still hiring and turning over drivers — both translate into recurring physicals.

### For territory expansion

   Filter to **New Entrants** with the 30-mile ring turned on. New entrants outside your usual range are willing to drive farther to find a clinic that'll work with them.

### For HAZMAT specialists

   Filter to **HAZMAT**. These carriers pay premium rates and need endorsement-tier exams — specialized outreach is worth the extra effort.

## Current Limitations

##### Single filter at a time

The current map filter row supports one filter at a time — you can't see Hot Leads *and* HAZMAT simultaneously. For multi-criterion filtering, use the pipeline list (with its advanced filter UI) and then come back to the map.
