Being the head of the team, you need to manage leads, upcoming appointments, or marketing campaigns for your team members.

If you have plotted the records of the lead entity on the map and among them, you want to manage one individual lead record, you can perform many actions by using its “Tooltip Card” (quick action card).

To enable the ‘Tooltip card’ in MappyField 365, you must configure the Tooltip attribute from the Entity Mappings of MappyField 365. After configuration, the quick action button or the ‘Tooltip card’ is just a click away!

This tooltip will help to perform many actions and also help in saving your or the sales rep's timing while managing the records.

Follow the below steps to perform quick action from the tooltip card:

- Plot the records on the map

- Enable the entity records’ label to find a required record

- Open tooltip by clicking on a specific record

- Perform different actions

Step 1: Navigate to MappyField 365

Select “MappyField 365” from the Dynamics 365 dashboard or app list from the header.

Step 2: Plot the records on the map

By selecting the ‘Entity’ and its ‘View’, plot the records on the map. Here, three entities are selected: Accounts, Contacts, and Leads to plot the records.

After selecting the entity (entities), click on the Search button to plot all the records of the selected entities on the map.

From the left side of the map, you will find the ‘Advanced Options’ to manage the records on the map.

You can enable/disable the records of any entity on the map and you can show/hide the records’ label (name) of any entity.

Once you find your record on the map, by clicking on any specific record (pin), you will get a slider of the tooltip from the right side. You will get the details in the tooltip related to that record which was configured from the backend (Entity Mappings → Tooltip attribute).

From the ‘tooltip’, you can perform many actions for the selected record.
