Sales Managers would like a map that shows which stores are running a promotion within their vicinity. Which solution meets their requirement and also involves the least amount of custom development?
A.
A visual mashup that displays the required map on the promotions page
B.
An unmanaged package from the AppExchange modified to meet the requirements
C.
The nearby map component on the promotion records page
The Nearby Map component on the Promotion record page provides the required functionality through standard Salesforce Maps configuration with minimal custom development.
Salesforce specifically documents the use of a Nearby Map component for Consumer Goods scenarios. Administrators create a Nearby Map configuration using an appropriate Maps layer and then place the Maps Nearby Maps component on a Lightning Record Page through Lightning App Builder. The layer determines which business records are displayed and how they are filtered.
For promotions, Salesforce gives this precise use case: administrators can configure a Nearby Map with a layer containing Retail Stores and place that component on the Promotion record page. When a sales manager views the Promotion record, the component displays retail stores participating in the promotion in a map-based interface. This allows the manager to visualize nearby participating stores without leaving the promotion context.
Because the capability is supplied through Salesforce Maps and Lightning App Builder, it avoids developing a custom visual mashup or modifying an unmanaged AppExchange package. Adding a generic map to the Home page would also lack the Promotion record context needed to display stores associated with the specific promotion.
