The Location / Map custom field allows you to capture geographic coordinates and display locations visually on a map within records in Blue. This is useful for associating records with real-world places and spaces.
The Location / Map custom field is useful for a variety of use cases, including:
- Mapping customer or client locations for sales and service regions
- Pinpointing event venues, job sites, or asset locations for field operations
- Tracking shipment origins and destinations in supply chain workflows
- Mapping real estate listings for properties available for sale or rent
- Identifying hospital, clinic, or care home addresses in healthcare systems
- Locating equipment deployment sites for installation and maintenance workflows
- Showing branch or facility locations for internal operations and analysis
- Displaying resource deposits, land plots, or other geographic assets
- Associating records with geographical regions, sales territories, service areas, etc.
When adding a location, users can either:
- Manually enter latitude and longitude coordinates
- Search for an address or location name, which will auto-populate the coordinates
- Click on the map to drop a pin and select the desired location
Records containing a location can be viewed collectively on the Map view in Blue. On the Map, the pin color for each record corresponds to the color of its primary tag.
