# Access Points

This article discusses **Measured access points**, which appear in the **Survey** view after completing a site survey with Hamina Onsite. To learn how to complete a site survey, see the [Hamina Onsite knowledgebase](https://docs.hamina.com/hamina/survey/broken-reference).

## Filtering Access Points and Heatmaps

There are two ways to filter which access points (and which heatmaps) will be visible:

* SSID filter
* Survey path filter

### SSID Filter

The SSID filter in the Heatmap settings popover filters which access points are visible (and visualized with a heatmap). If an access point is broadcasting multiple SSIDs, you only need to select one of the SSIDs to make it visible. You can view all access points by selecting no SSIDs.

### Survey Path Filter

The **Survey paths** tool can be used to filter by surveys. See [survey-paths](https://docs.hamina.com/hamina/survey/survey-paths "mention") to learn more.

## Access Point Locations and Visibility

Access points have three possible states in regards to location:

<table><thead><tr><th width="215.3984375">State</th><th>Reason</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>❌ Not located </td><td><ul><li>Not heard loudly enough</li><li>Location manually removed by user</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>✨ Automatically Located</td><td><ul><li>Heard above -60 dBm</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>🎯 Manually Located</td><td><ul><li>By manually moving the AP</li><li>By using the <strong>Place access point</strong> tool</li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table>

When an access point is not located, there are two ways to locate it: **Reset surveyed AP locations** button, and the **Place access point** tool.

**Reset surveyed AP locations** button: Located in the Project Settings window, this button will reset the visibility and location states for all surveyed access points in the project.

**Place access point** tool: When an access point is in the **Not located** ❌ state, it can be manually placed with the **Place access point** tool. To activate it, select the **Edit** tool, right-click on the map, and click **Place access point**. If the **Coverage** heatmap is selected, Hamina Network Planner will show a heatmap for each access point on mouseover to assist with manual placement.

{% hint style="info" %}
The **Place access point** tool will only show access points that are broadcasting at least one selected SSID. Be sure the SSID that you want to place access points for is selected in the **Heatmap settings**.

### Automatically Locating Access Points

If an access point has been **Manually Located 🎯**, you can revert it to being **Automatically Located ✨** in the **Edit Access Point** pane.

Select the access point with the **Edit** tool, and click the **Auto-locate AP on map** button. This also works if multiple access points are selected.

### Remove an AP Location

To remove an access point location from the map, select the access point with the **Edit** tool, and click the **Remove AP location from map** button. This does not remove the access point or any of it's measurements from the project; it simply hides the access point pin. This also works if multiple access points are selected.
