You can access these settings in the Settings application under the On-line marketing -> Contact management -> Geolocation category.
General | |
|---|---|
Enable contact geolocation by IP | Indicates if the system tracks the geographic locations of contacts based on their IP addresses. Only works if you add a MaxMind geolocation database to your web project (see Using geolocation for contacts). |
Suffix for mapped data | Allows you to specify an optional suffix, which the system adds to the values of contact fields obtained using geolocation. The suffix is only added to text-based fields. |
Geolocation data to contact fields mapping | |
This section allows you to configure the mapping of the geolocation data to the fields of Xperience contacts. Use the drop-down lists to select the target fields into which the system maps the information. Mind the type restrictions when assigning target fields. | |

|
State | Accepts integer-based and text-based fields.
|
City | Accepts text-based fields. |
