import


Thanks, Andrew. That does make sense. I was hoping to just
take input from a form done in Zoho Creator and import it
into MapBuilder since the staff who will be updating this
resource don't know Excel (I don't know it very well,
either), but I will see what I can figure out on the Excel
side.

However, I've imported an Excel test file into MapBuilder,
mapped the fields, and added the locations to my map, but
the three extra description fields and the address are not
displaying. I can try to concatenate all of the description
fields into one, but I thought the address was supposed to
automatically display on the individual markers. I tried
adding a location with geocoding through the MapBuilder
interface, too, but that doesn't make the address display
either.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

TIA,
Jenny

Hello Jenny,

  You can combine any number of descriptions fields in your
csv/excel file into a single
  description field and import it.

  Does it make sense?
