According to the Trailhead module on Get to Know the Marker Layer Builder4, creating a marker layer follows the same process as creating a Salesforce report. Therefore, to test a marker layer and ensure Salesforce Maps is displaying the correct number of results, a user can create a Salesforce Report to match the Marker Layer Builder criteria4. This way, they can compare the results from both sources and identify any discrepancies or errors.

Salesforce Maps Live Tracking allows users to track the live and historical locations of vehicles, equipment, and users in the field. To generate reports on the distance driven by each sales rep, the admin needs to use the Maps Live Asset Daily Summary object. This object contains the summary data for each asset, such as the total distance, duration, and fuel consumption for a given day. The admin can create a report on this object and group it by the asset name or driver name to see the total mileage driven by each sales rep on their team. The other objects are not suitable for this purpose, because they either contain the individual events for each asset, such as stops, speeding, and safety incidents (Maps Live Asset Daily Summary Event), the driver information for each asset (Maps Live Driver), or the trip information for each asset, such as the start and end locations, distance, and duration (Maps Live Daily Trip). References: Salesforce Maps Live: Getting Started Guide, Create Live Daily Summary Configuration in Salesforce Maps, Get to Know Salesforce Maps Unit | Salesforce Trailhead

Analyze and Compare is a feature that can be used to view proposed changes before reassigning in Territory Planning. This feature allows users to compare different scenarios of territory alignment and see the impact of their changes on key metrics such as annual revenue, unit count, and workload balance. This feature can help users make informed decisions and optimize their territories for sales and service performance. This feature is explained in the Create an Optimal Territory Alignment document.

To create a data set that includes account data from Salesforce and attribute data from an external source, the customer has three options:

• A. SOQL Queries: The customer can use SOQL queries to pull data from Salesforce objects and fields, and join them with external data sources, such as CSV files or web services. SOQL queries allow the customer to specify complex filters and conditions to select the relevant records and fields for the data set1. The customer can create SOQL queries in the Data Sets tab in Maps Advanced, by clicking New, selecting the object type, and choosing SOQL Query as the data source2.
• C. Salesforce Reports: The customer can use Salesforce reports to create data sets that include data from multiple objects and fields, such as accounts, contacts, opportunities, and custom objects. Salesforce reports allow the customer to use report types, filters, groupings, and charts to customize the data they want to plot on the map3. The customer can create Salesforce reports in the Reports tab in Salesforce, and then use them as data sources in the Data Sets tab in Maps Advanced, by clicking New, selecting the object type, and choosing Report as the data source4.
• E. External CSV: The customer can use external CSV files to import data from other systems or applications into Salesforce Maps. CSV files are comma-separated values files that store tabular data in plain text format. CSV files can include data from various sources, such as spreadsheets, databases, or web services. The customer can upload CSV files as data sources in the Data Sets tab in Maps Advanced, by clicking New, selecting the object type, and choosing CSV File as the data source5.
