In this category, you can configure the mapping of the Geolocation fields to Kentico CMS contact fields. Use the drop-down lists to assign the desired target columns into which the information will be mapped.

 

The Area code, Metro code, DMA code, Latitude, Longitude fields don't have their equivalent in Kentico CMS system table fields. To create new the fields to map into, navigate to Site Manager -> Development -> System tables and Edit (Edit) the OM.Contact class. Refer to Developer's Guide -> Development -> System tables and custom fields for more information.

 

The following settings are available for the feature. Mind the type restrictions listed in the table when assigning target fields and creating custom fields to assign later. Also keep in mind that only text-based fields can have a suffix added to them.

 

General

Enable IP geolocating contacts

Turn the checkbox on to track the location of contacts based on their IP address.

Suffix

Type in an optional suffix, which will be added to each of the contact's field values obtained using Geolocating. The suffix will be added to text-based fields only.
