Validate That Records Plot Correctly in Salesforce Maps

After geocoding data, verify that records appear in the correct geographic locations on the map. To validate settings, plot a temporary marker layer and confirm that records appear in the expected geographic locations.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic
Available in: Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
User Permissions Needed
To create and plot marker layers: Folder Permissions, and Create Data Layers granted through a Salesforce Maps permission group
  1. In Salesforce Maps, select Layers | New | Marker Layer.
  2. Select one of your base objects, and click Plot.
  3. Confirm that records appear in roughly the correct locations on the map.
  4. If records don't plot, spot-check one that failed: confirm that its address fields are populated and valid and that the base object's address source and latitude and longitude fields are accurate. Then re-run a geocoding batch.
  5. When you're done, you can either remove the temporary layer or keep it for future validation.
