MicrosoftAdd Location Details to SharePoint Data and Content
We are excited to announce a new capability for SharePoint lists and libraries. The new location column allows you to add rich location data from Bing Maps or your organization directory to any Share...
James Jackson can you clarify on what "location data from [...] your organization directory" means? Where would such location data be stored and managed?
Thomas Bak This is something I would like to know too. Some of the locations in our projects do have an address in Bing Maps, some doesn't (e.g. middle of the forest), so I would like to create new locations by coordinate, only visible within the organization and as i understand this could be done through the organization directory.
What I don't know is what it is referring to exactly and how to manage it. Any luck with finding out how to do it?
- Concur - there is so much that can be done with Location columns but to date we have not been able to find any step by step guide or demo that shows how to use it and we have not been able to figure out all the ins and outs of what we can do with this new field - ITs A NEW FIELD!!!! We should be swimming in information on how to use it but the only thing we can find is Chris McNulty's blog which is not helpful when it comes to implementation details and use cases.
