Defining a New Map Service

Prerequisites

You have obtained the correct user authorization. For more information, see Authorizations for the Cockpit.

Procedure

Note Note

After you define a new map service, the name of the service appears in the Map Service dropdown menu list. The new service is visible and accessible for all users in your company.

End of the note.

To define other map services, from the Map Service dropdown menu list, select Define New.
The Map Services – Setup window appears.
In the Map Services – Setup window, specify the name of the map service.

In the Map Services – Setup window, specify a value in the Query URL field.

A query URL is a URL structure to specify a location search in Web map services. A query URL uses necessary parameters to extract address data from the SAP Business One database and displays the search results in a Web browser.

To build a query URL, proceed as follows:

Obtain the base URL structure and the method for adding parameters to the URL.
Most Web map services providers display the information on their Web sites.

Add parameters to the URL.

To specify your search, you can add parameters to the URL. For example, for the Microsoft Bing Map, the SAP predefined query URL is as follows:

http://bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=[Name][AddressName][Street][Block][City][County][State][Country]

The following table shows the parameters you can add to the query URL and the field values each parameter stands for:

Parameter	Corresponding Field
[Name]	Name (as in the Business Partner Master Data window) Location (as in the Warehouses – Setup window)
[AddressName]	Address Name
[Street]	Street/PO Box
[Block]	Block
[City]	City
[County]	County
[State]	State
[Country]	Country
[Zip]	Zip Code
