• This is the url used for generating maps based on contact addresses. Any ampersand characters (&) in the string need to be replaced with "%26" or the web.config file will be considered invalid. The {0} characters indicate where the address information will be appended to in the string. If this value is blank, mapping will be turned off.

  Mapping Url Examples

  • Google Maps: maps.google.com/maps?f=q%26source=s_q%26geocode=%26q={0}
  • Bing Maps: www.bing.com/maps/?v=2%26where1={0}

    Note: While most of the major online mapping services will work, it is possible that some may not. Any mapping service that requires the address to be submitted as more than just one query string value will most likely not work.

    <add value="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q%26source=s_q%26geocode=%26q={0}" key="MappingUrl"/>

• This controls whether or not the map generated from the url above is displayed inside a tab in the Web Client or whether a new browser window will be opened to show it. "false" means the map will be shown in a tabbed frame and "true" indicates the map will be shown in new browser window. Some mapping sites such as Yahoo maps will not let you open a map from within a html iframe which is what is used to show the map within a tab in the web client. Should you wish to use a site that doesn't allow that action, you will need to have the map open in a new browser window.

  <add value="true" key="ShowMappingUrlInNewWindow"/>

<add value="10" key="TabLimit"/>.

Warning: Opening too many tabs will adversely affect the performance of the browser.

To disable this feature and allow unlimited tabs, set the value to 0.

Note: The "TabLimit" setting affects all Web Client users.
