### Mapbox Username <sup><sub>*<mark style="color:blue;">\[Mapbox,</mark>*<sub></sup><sup><sub>*&#x20;*<sub></sup><sup><sub>*<mark style="color:green;">Pro</mark>*<sub></sup><sup><sub>*<mark style="color:blue;">]</mark>*<sub></sup>

Log into Mapbox to find your username (it's **not** your email). This is only used for advanced functionality, like if you are creating tilesets from your data.

### Mapbox Secret Token <sup><sub>*<mark style="color:blue;">\[Mapbox,</mark>*<sub></sup><sup><sub>*&#x20;*<sub></sup><sup><sub>*<mark style="color:green;">Pro</mark>*<sub></sup><sup><sub>*<mark style="color:blue;">]</mark>*<sub></sup>

This is **only** for advanced functionality like managing tilesets. Make sure you have given this secret token the correct permissions.

### Store Locator <sup><sub>*<mark style="color:green;">\[Pro]</mark>*<sub></sup>

You must enable this if you are using the Store Locator functionality.

### User Submission <sup><sub>*<mark style="color:green;">\[Pro]</mark>*<sub></sup>

You must enable this if you are using the User Submission functionality.

### Editing Map Style <sup><sub>*<mark style="color:green;">\[Pro]</mark>*<sub></sup>

If you want to have a different default map tileset appear in your Points, Lines, and Polygons pages — instead of OpenStreetMaps — enter the style from Mapbox here.

### Default Shortcode Map <sup><sub>*<mark style="color:green;">\[Pro]</mark>*<sub></sup>

If you are creating shortcodes for individual features or sets of features, then you usually have to enter an ID for a map you've created so they can be displayed on that map visually. Here, you can specify a default so your shortcode won't need to have that specified.

### Default Map View <sup><sub>*<mark style="color:green;">\[Pro]</mark>*<sub></sup>

Manually set the starting view of all new Maps.

### Spatial API <sup><sub>*<mark style="color:green;">\[Pro]</mark>*<sub></sup>

Turn the [Spatial API](/developer/spatial-db-and-api.md) functionality on and off here.

### Encoded Geometries <sup><sub>*<mark style="color:green;">\[Pro]</mark>*<sub></sup>

Currently in development, this may help speed up your map load if you have lots of complex shapes.

### Tileset Management Format <sup><sub>*<mark style="color:green;">\[Pro]</mark>*<sub></sup>

This is a very advanced feature that allows you to specify properties to be attached to the features you send to Mapbox. Please see the Mapbox Tileset Management page for more information.
