    Hi Troy,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Do you mean to add a column on the Submission Tables and the value is a map, is that correct? If so, unfortunately, we don't have the functionality.

    If that’s not exactly what you’re looking for, can you explain a bit more so I can help you better? Once we hear back from you, we'll be able to help you with this.

    Hi There, yes i guess..

    I would like to view the submissions in a map view. Similar to app real estate or job search apps ?

    Hi Troy,

    The functionality you are looking for is not yet available in Jotform Tables. Jotform Tables are limited to 4 alternative views, the defaultTable view, CardsUploads, or Calendar.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Ok thanks..


    Out of interest could the table be duplicated then show only detect location field?

    The by clicking on tab the map view would appear only?

    Hi Troy,

    Yes, you can add another tab of the table to display only the detect location field. Let me show you how:

    1. In Jotform Tables, click the + Add Tab button at the top-left part of the page.
    2. Select Table.
    3. In the next window, click Connect to Form and select the form.
    4. Select the Detected Location field then click Create.

    Hi Troy,

    As my colleague Jeric stated, it is not possible to display maps in Tables. The value of the GPS Location widget will look like the one seen in the screenshot below.

    Yes, we currently do not have that functionality. And since we do not have the feature yet, we've gone ahead and escalated this to our developers.
