Configure a map on a form

  • Article

By default, the map control is configured on the main form for both the account and contact tables, which provides the ability to display a map on table records. Although not configured by default, the map control can be added to the system user table. The map control can also be used with some Dataverse standard tables and Dynamics 365 apps tables. The map control can't be used with custom tables. More information: Tables that can be used with the map control

When enabled, the map displays the location specified in the address composite columns for the given record.
