Map
Map view type’s settings are similar to Tile view with one exception. Map view requires a column of the Location type to display pins on the map at specified position. Upon clicking the pin the data is displayed as the pop-up card structured the same way as the tile in the tile view.
To create a map view, select the Map option from the list of view types and click Next. The system will display the Map View form comprising the following sections:
| Name | Enter a name of a new map view. |
|---|---|
| Notes | The Notes field can hold any developer’s comments that need to be kept for this view. The comments will be visible in the Setup mode only. |
| Show In Menu | Leave this option checked if the view should be displayed in the menu. |
| Category | Enter a category name if you want to group view under a category . |
| Highlight Color | Select a color to highlight this view in the list displayed in the menu. |
| Icon | This option allows to select an icon for a view. You have a choice of 900+ icons covering various subjects – actions, brands, file types, symbols, animals and a lot more. The Search box above will help you to narrow down the list of choices. |

Please, notice that as you zoom into any of the cluster locations, the number on the cluster decreases, and you begin to see the individual markers on the map. Zooming out of the map consolidates the markers into clusters again. |
