In this category, you can configure the mapping of the Geolocation fields to Kentico contact fields. Use the drop-down lists to select the target fields into which the system maps the information.

The Area code, Metro code, DMA code, Latitude and Longitude fields don’t have equivalent fields in Kentico. To create new fields to map into:

  1. Navigate to the Modules application.
  2. Edit the Contact management module.
  3. On the Classes tab, edit the Contact management - Contact class.
  4. Define the fields on the Fields tab.

The following settings are available. Mind the type restrictions when assigning target fields or creating custom fields for holding geolocation data.

General
