Map Records on an iOS Device

Use the Map View to view your location and the location of one/all Business Object records on a map. The Map uses location beacon/pins to identify your location and the location of each Business Object record, annotations to describe the records, drill-down capabilities to access the records, and zoom capabilities to enlarge/reduce specific areas.

Good to know:

  • The Map View is available for All/Near Mobile records (Search Results List) or for a particular Mobile record, if the Business Object records are Location Aware.
  • Display the Map View by tapping the Map button iOS Map Button (it is enabled when appropriate).

  • Go to a Mobile record (drill-down) by tapping the information button.
