How can I customize map display settings to protect sensitive information?
When using the store locator feature, it’s important to manage the visibility of sensitive information such as personal details or precise addresses. Rose Perl Technology LLC provides several customization options to help you control what is displayed on public maps. Below are guidelines and best practices for customizing your map display settings.
Introduction to Map Display Customization
The store locator feature allows you to display location information on a public map. However, you may want to limit the visibility of certain fields, such as names or addresses, to protect privacy or maintain confidentiality. This article outlines how to customize these settings effectively.
Privacy Settings for Personal Information
You can control the visibility of personal information fields, such as First Name and Last Name, on the public map display. To hide these fields:
Navigate to the app Settings.
Locate the section for map display settings.
Select which fields you want to display or hide.
Deselect "First Name" and "Last Name" to ensure they are not visible on the public map.
This ensures that only relevant information is displayed to customers while keeping personal details private.
Address Field Management and Workarounds
If you do not want to reveal a precise street address but still need to display a general location on the map, follow these steps:
Use a Placeholder for Address Line 1: - Since Address Line 1 is a required field, you cannot leave it empty. Instead, enter a non-identifying placeholder, such as "Regional Warehouse" or "Distribution Center."
Hide Address Line 1 from Public Views: - Go to the map display settings and turn off the visibility of Address Line 1 in both the list and detail views.
Disable the Directions Link (Optional): - If you want to prevent customers from being routed to the exact location, disable or hide the "Directions" link in the settings.
These steps allow you to maintain the functionality of the store locator (e.g., search and zip-radius logic) while protecting the exact address from being publicly displayed.
Best Practices for Public Map Displays
Regularly review your map display settings to ensure they align with your privacy and business needs.
Use generic placeholders for required fields to avoid exposing sensitive information.
Test your map display after making changes to confirm that the settings are applied correctly.
Consider disabling features like "Directions" if they are not essential for your customers.
By following these guidelines, you can effectively manage the visibility of sensitive information on your public map display while maintaining the usability of your store locator.
