Visualizing where your renters are located is an important tool in making decisions about your business. Utilize the Tenant Contact List CSV export and Google My Maps to build a confidential map of this information.
In Storable Edge, navigate to Reports.
Generate the Tenant Contact List.
Click the CSV export option in the upper-right corner.
(Optional) Edit the file to exclude unnecessary data for your map to only include the address, city, state and postal code columns.
Log in to your Google account. (If you don't have a Google account, you can create one for free by following these instructions.)
Go to Google My Maps: https://www.google.com/mymaps
Select Create a new map
In the menu, select "Untitled map" to give the map a name and description.
Click Import
Select the Tenant Contact List CSV from your computer
After uploading your data, you’ll be asked to select the column(s) with location information, so that your data will be correctly placed on the map (e.g., columns with address or latitude and longitude information). Select the Address, City, State, and Postal Code columns and click Continue. You can hover over the question marks to see sample data from that column.
Now pick the column you’d like to use to title your markers. (For this example, Tenant Last Name was used.) Click Finish.
You should now see your data as a layer in the menu, and your points plotted on the map.
There are many more cool features available in the Google Maps tool, such as styling the map, customizing map markers, choosing an alternative base map, and more. Check out Google's Visualize your data on a custom map using Google My Maps article to learn more.
