  • The “Under Menu in List Page” option is only available on the record list page.

  • The “Right of Menu in List Page” option does not exist.

  • The mobile view only supports “Under Menu in List Page.”

  • Since it is map data provided by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, there is no data for maps outside of Japan.

Displaying of Two or More Maps

If you execute the “Show Japan GSI Map in Menu Area” action twice with the same action number, it is considered the same map, and only one map will be displayed. In the second action, the currently displayed map position will not change, but the zoom level will return to the value specified by the action.

If you execute “Show Japan GSI Map in Menu Area” with different action numbers, each map will be displayed separately.
