To view a data source on a map, the data source must have at least one column with a type of “Geo Coordinate”.
When the data source is saved, a new menu option will appear at the top of the page, as well as in the menu options when moving the cursor over a data source on the “Data Sources” page.
Clicking on one of these links will take you to the “Map” page of the data source. If you have rows in your data source with valid data in the Geo Coordinate column, they will show up as pins on the map.
Adding Geo Coordinate Data to a Data Source
- Add a new column to the data source with the type of “Geo Coordinate”
- Insert column data coordinates in the Lat Long format. (Note, separated by a space, i.e. 37.3354 -121.8989)
