**WisdomWednesday - 1...2...3...Draw!**

From TopicTuesday’s article How to Export Zip Codes From Shape Layers, we want to provide another resource for you to learn how to create Shape Layers within Salesforce Maps when it comes to zip codes. The Draw on Map Tool is a great way to label your zip codes and give better visualization of your data.

 

Below is the article where you will see the simple steps to get started and enable labels with the Draw on Map Tool.

#Wisdomwednesday Saving a boundary that you have created using the polygon, circle, or rectangle shape tools can be done with a few clicks of a button.  See the link below to see how.

#Wisdomwednesday Want to make sure that your new accounts or leads are distributed to the correct territory? Try our Auto-assignment feature. In Maps, you can use auto-assignment along with your created territory shapes to ensure that objects are assigned to the right territory. Have a look at the article below.

Does anyone know why you are unable to use Canadian postal codes to create shape layers--similar to how you can use U.S. zip codes? I created shape layers to mimic our territories, but I was only able to use Canadian provinces and territories as a data source, which, alas, is insufficient.

I have a use case where customers enter orders which are stored as an Opportunity. The Opportunity has an address that is geocoded and that appears on the map to show where the customers need to be serviced. I would like to show the service charge when the customer enters the order based on shape layers. How can I determine the shape layer from an address on a record, in this case the Opportunity record?

Is it possible to automatically import/create Shape Layers? 

 

General use case would be to

  1. On an Opportunity Closed Won, set a checkbox on/Autoassign Account records within 2mi of the Opportunity

    Thanks for your question.

    Should you build an Opp Closed Won Marker Layer, you can use our Proximity feature to put a radius (ex: 2 miles) on the markers that plot on the map. From there you can plot an Account layer to view accounts in that radius. This MapAnything article further explains this feature (

    https://mapanything.force.com/support/s/article/Marker-Layer-Building-Proximity

    ); the steps are the same in Maps.

    If you're looking to change/add ownership to any Account records within the 2 mile radius of a Won Opp, that is not out of the box functionality. However, we can work our Services Team to determine if they can build as custom work and inform you of the cost.

    We look forward to your feedback.

Good Morning. I'm having issues with using the "Draw on Map" tool with shape layers. The lasso to add shapes works great, but I'm having issues using the removal lasso and the toggle shape selector. Is this a known bug or is it just me?
