# QB Maps Setup

When setting up QB Maps in your application, you are greeted by the **QB Maps Step**.

Here, we have 2 types of setups:

- Location Table - You access QB Maps via the **QB Maps Table,** and it shows all the **Location Records' Addresses** that apply to the query.
- Location and Radius Table - You access QB Maps via the **Radius table**, and it shows all the **Location Records' Addresses** that apply to both the query and that fit within the given radius to the Radius Record's address.

First, we go over the **Location Table** options:

1. ***Address Table -*** This is the table that contains the addresses for QB Maps.
2. ***Address Field -*** This is the field that contains the address for the map.
3. ***Location Name Field -*** This is the name that is displayed for the given address.
4. ***Select 3 Fields for Pins -*** These are 3 fields whose values are displayed on each of the pins.
5. ***Build a Query -*** This query decides which **Address Table Records** are shown when using QB Maps.
6. ***Use Radius Table -*** This checkbox denotes which type of setup you would like.

Now, for the **Radius Table Setup:**

1. ***Radius Table -*** This is the table that contains the Radius Address for QB Maps, and where QB Maps is launched from.
2. ***Bounding Radius*** - This is the distance in which addresses from the **Location Table** are shown in QB Maps. Anything within the Bounding Radius (in miles) from the Radius Address is shown.
3. ***Radius Address Field -*** This is the field that contains the radius address for the map that is the center-point of the radius.
4. ***Radius Location Name Field -*** This is the name that is displayed for the given radius address.
5. ***Select 3 Fields for Pins -*** These are 3 fields whose values are displayed on the radius pin.
