Is bing maps available on the Opportunities Entity?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

I have it up and running on my Leads entity, but when trying to add it to my Opportunities form it is greyed out. Is it possible to use it in the opportunities entity or is this intentional?

Thanks

    Hey!
    In case the query hasn’t been resolved yet, do have a look at Maplytics. It is designed to work with both system and custom entities in Dynamics 365, including Opportunities. It provides seamless integration for maps and location intelligence across various entities.
    Steps to Enable Maplytics on the Opportunities Form:
    1. Check the Configuration
      Ensure that the Opportunities entity is enabled for Maplytics in the configuration settings:
      • Go to the Maplytics configuration area.
      • Confirm that the Opportunities entity is added to the list of entities enabled for Maplytics.
      • Map the appropriate geo-coordinates fields (latitude and longitude) for the Opportunities entity.
    2. Add Maplytics Map Control
      If the map control is greyed out, it might not be properly added to the Opportunities form. Follow these steps:
      • Open the form editor for the Opportunities entity in Dynamics 365.
      • Add the Maplytics map control to the desired section of the form.
      • Configure the control to use Maplytics for displaying data.
    3. Check Security Roles
      Verify that the logged-in user has the required permissions for Maplytics and access to the Opportunities entity:
      • Navigate to the security roles assigned to the user.
      • Ensure they have the necessary permissions to view and interact with Maplytics on Opportunities.
    4. Publish and Test
      After making changes, save and publish the form. Open an Opportunity record to check if the Maplytics map is now visible and functional.
    Why Maplytics for Opportunities?
    Using Maplytics with Opportunities allows you to:
    • Visualize sales opportunities on a map.
    • Perform proximity searches to identify nearby leads or clients for cross-selling.
    • Plan sales routes effectively for field sales representatives.
    • Gain geographical insights into your sales pipeline.
    Maplytics is an all-in-one mapping solution that enhances decision-making and operational efficiency through the power of geospatial intelligence.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your query.

    Bings map is no available on the opportunity entity.

    Here is the extract form Microsoft Docs:

    "Bing Maps can be displayed on a form for the account, contact, lead, quote, order, invoice, competitor, and system user entities."

    Configure Bing maps in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) | Microsoft Docs (On-premise)

    Configure Bing maps in a model-driven app with Power Apps - Power Apps | Microsoft Docs (online)

    You can use a 3rd-party solution like:
