    The Google Maps Module

    The Google Maps Module allows you to place a Google map of a specific location on your Oracle Social Marketing Content & Apps View.

    Adding a Google Maps Module to a Content & Apps View

    All modules are added to a View in the same way with our drag-and-drop interface. To get more information on this, see the Building a View: Adding Modules and Content to Views in Content & Apps help article.

    Once you have added a module and given it a name, the module will open for you to edit it or add content. Back on the View layout, you'll see a callout bubble next to your module - click the triangle for controls for your module. This callout will not appear on your published View and your new module will not appear on your Facebook Tab until you click Publish.

    Adding a Location to the Google Maps Module

    When you drag-and-drop a Google Maps module onto a View, it will automatically open to the edit page for that module. To add a location to a module you've already created:

    1. Next to your Google Maps module you’ll see a callout bubble with the title of your module in green text. Click the green triangle next to the title to show your options.
    2. If you want your module to have a header, check the box labeled Header. The text in the header will be you have named the module.
    3. Click Edit Module and you'll be taken to the Edit Module page.
    4. To set up a map, enter an address into the Address field. You can also add information about the map in the Info field.
    5. To see how your map will appear, click Update Preview button. The map will reload to reflect the address you have entered into the Address field as a red location pin on the map.
    6. When you have finished configuring the module, click Update.

    The module will now appear on your profile. When you click the red pin on your map, any text you entered into the Info field will display in a bubble above the pin. You can drag the the map around to see the area around your location pin.

    Customizing Google Maps Modules

    All customization happens in the brand CSS page.

    All modules take up 100% of the containers they are in, so you can resize them to whatever size you need with CSS.
