Addresses

Geomaps in Birst can be created using attributes for:

  • Countries (Country, Country Desc, ISO Country Code Alpha-2).
  • States (State/Province, State Province Desc).
  • GPS Location. This is a combination of the GPS Latitude and GPS Longitude fields.

Optionally, you can set up a geographical location for addresses in Infor LN. If you specify the GPS Latitude and GPS Longitude, then you can use the GPS Location attribute to create a geomap in Birst.

  1. In LN, navigate to Master Data > Addresses > Addresses to start the Addresses (tccom4530m000) session.
  2. On the Actions menu, click Fill GPS Coordinates to enter GPS data for a range of address codes. Based on the country (ISO code), city, street and house number (or PO Box number), GPS data is retrieved through a webservice (a license key may be required for Bing Maps or Google Maps). For details see the LN Online Help.
  3. Alternatively, go to the address details and manually populate the GPS Latitude and GPS Longitude fields.
