Add persona location in Scenario
Editor
While creating your personas in
the Scenario Editor, you can
assign them a location in their Persona
configuration panel. That is where their
posts will be displayed on the InfoMap.
Go to the Personas tab and
double click any available persona to edit
it. This is available for regular Personas
and for Pattern of Life
Personas.
