How to Navigate Geographical Data in the Geo View¶
Learn how to view a row's geographical data on the Geo View's map.
Inside the Geo View, each pinpoint is a location pointed from a row's latitude and longitude or Well-known text (WKT).
If one or more pinpoints overlap or are too close at current zoom level, a number will point how many pinpoints are in the area.
Zoom to see more about an area on the map and its pinpoints.
Passing the pointer on a pinpoint displays the data that the application's Designer has chosen to display with the location. (E.g. an address, a customer name and surname.)
Example
If the Designer has chosen to display with the pinpoint a field containing an address, passing the pointer on a pinpoint displays that field' information.
Clicking on a pinpoint will display the row's information on a sidebar.
In case two or more pinpoints overlap at your current zoom level, click on the counter.
The action opens the Selected Items menu () in the right sidebar. Selected Items lists all the pinpoints overlapping in that area.
Clicking one element on the list opens the row's information related to the location.
