Fibery Map and Location field Improvements

Ideas & Features
1

I am trying to add 100.000 locations to Fibery. This geo thing is my profession so perhaps certainly I am pushing the limits a bit and asking things of Fibery I perhaps should ask elsewhere :face_savoring_food: But just to share, here there are two things I encountered:

  • When importing a CSV via the CSV 2.0 way, I could not select Location as a field type, even though the data was formatted right.

  • The map view is limited to 500 pins. Does this have to do with the MapBox pricing?

And finally, I would love to add other types of layers. Such as polygon or other background layers (for example through a WMS/WMTS/Vector Tiles URL that you can add). Again, I admit my agenda of trying to turn Fibery into a WebGIS :innocent: When I have some time I will work out some ideas and look for workarounds.

Hi!

  1. Location field will be added to the import soon
  2. Map view is limited, since we didn’t plan that to be a core use case. Rather HR or Sales addon - show me where our employees are, where are offices are, etc.
  3. Map view is not in focus so it’s unlikely any improvements will be added this year at least, sorry :cry:

Thanks for your quick and clear reply @Polina_Zenevich ! Great to know that Location field import will be added soon. VERY useful! :pushpin:

I understand that it is not the focus and that the use cases are limited. If I will think of any new use cases that are of broader interest of any improvements I will still send them for your backlog.

And I hope to start working on my workaround soon, which (if it works :crossed_fingers:) makes everything (or at least a lot) possible in terms of maps and visualizations! :wink:
