Hi Sergey,
the new field Image map for nested records is really great, I love it! However, I have now a question related to that new field:
I f you have a large number of items in the nested table then it is nearly impossible to find a specific item in the map:
A solution to this problem could be a link in action field to marker in the map:
Is there a way to establish a link? Could a link be accomplished using a another field?
Thank you, Pepe

Sorry not clear what do you mean.

Hi Sergey,
sorry for not having expressed myself clearly.
Just look at the image map. There are about 200 markers. Imagine, you are searching for a particular items on the map. You need to click on each marker to find the one you are looking for. It is easy to find the respective item in the table listing (search, filters, etc.). Therefore, there should be a link in the table listing which brings you to the corresponding item an the map. Then you know the location.
Actually, there are three possibilities: 1.) click on the link in table and transfer the view to the map with the item marker opened, 2.) click on link in table and highlight the marker in map without going there, keep marker highlighted as long as item is selected in table, 3.) implementation of search or filters on map.
I hope, this explains what I am trying to achieve.
Regards, Pepe

Re: Field Type: Image map for nested records
Ok, it's clear now. Need to think about it. There is no easy solution at the moment.

Hi Sergey,
I think the best solution was to add a SEARCH FIELD to the area on item page. The user could search for item ID or some other field. When found, the marker should be highlighted, change shape, blink or something similar.
