Hey there! We wanted to share with you one of the many ways that having Map View can be helpful for companies.
Map: show Employees by location
The first map we'll create will show the number of employees we have worldwide. This will give us an overview of our global workforce and help us identify areas where we may need more support or resources.
1. Prepare Employees database
You can use User database from People Space instead. If you run with this option, please, skip this step.
Although we have Fibery Users, that are logged into the system users (and most likely your teammates), it still makes sense to create another database. It will store all organizational information that is valid for your HR team - joined date, contact phone, legal name, and, of course, location.
Here is what Polina's card looks like:
Make sure that you have Location field added.
2. Fill in the data
Now - for every employee, we have to set its location.
Granularity is up to you. Probably full address can be overkill, so simple City + Country has to be enough.
OK, looks like we're almost done.
3. Visualize it
And now, let's create a Map View itself.
Only Users with Architect permission level can add new Views to the Space
Here is what we will have as a result
Map: show the location of our offices
This map will show the locations of our representative offices. It may help everyone in the company understand where we have a physical presence and what opportunities may be available in those regions.
1. Prepare the Office database and fill in the data
In Fibery, everything starts with a database 😅
In the Office the database, you can store not only its location but also such boring details as wi-fi password, contact person, some legal documents, and whatever comes to your mind.
The location here is more granular, compared to the Employee database from the previous example. At first, any employee may check the address if forgotten. Second - we may have multiple offices in one city.
2. Visualize it
And now let's create a Map View itself.
Only Users with Creator permission level can add new Views to the Space
Here is what we will have as a result
This is it!
