Hi community,
I tried to install the application "Map widget for Creatio" from the Marketplace in a sales-team-marketing-demo environment (v. 8.0.1) and it's not working!
I have configured the map chart dashboard but it's not loading and if I open the inspector I find this errors in the console log:
I was trying to implement a section under the "Sales" workplace just to have a google maps view of the adresses directly related to my customers under the "customers" or "accounts" section. I was searching some add-ons to do this and i found this one https://marketplace.creatio.com/app/google-maps-route-creatio and this one https://marketplace.creatio.com/app/toolkit-setup-map-view-creatio but nothing seems to work. I had many problems with the toolkit and when following the installation steps, it seems impossible to find the "Maps" tab under the concerned section. The first one, "google maps route creatio" has no documentation and I don't have a clue on how to install it and make it work.
Could it be possible to implement a custom google maps API ? If yes, how could I get the latitude and longitude and retrieve the adresses of the contacts under the "customers" and "accounts" sections ?
It's a really simple thing to implement in JS/html/css but I have no clue on how to do this in Creatio.
Creatio Marketplace has a mapping tool called Mapsly geocode your records based on coordinates/address and save correspondingly coordinates/address back to Creatio.
You can also show pins of your contacts on the map, assign territories, build routes, etc.
The is such option by default nor similar addon on the marketplace. We've registered your idea in our R&D team backlog to consider such implementation in future application versions.
You can inspect the Account address detail as an example of integration with OpenStreetMaps in the system and Field Force application as an example of maps functionality on mobile apps.
Thanks Angela, I tried in Account address detail, by clicking it map is opening, what I need is that user should be able to pin location on the map, then will capture the coordinates(long/lat) and save it back in case edit page in mobile. Do you have any sample for this.
Try checking Field Force application as well as it contains map for mobile application. Unfortunately we do not have any example of such customisation.
Is it possible to do the reverse geocoding, we will move the pin on the map and based on that Address will auto populate. Currently it is working the opposite way.
It cannot be done since it data is pulled from the OpenStreeMap service. For instance, if you zoom out http://prntscr.com/oxeh7f, you will not be able to move the pin around the map or tick it by clicking on any country. That happens since you cannot do it in the service map view as well http://prntscr.com/oxehiv When on the map service website, you will have to select some particular country, city or address through the search bar, so that the pin could appear and then it can be moved around. Apart from that, a lot of the cities and addresses will not populate the application fields and you will have to fill the addresses table first for this purpose. That is why there is no possibility to tick the pin and populate the fields automatically.
