If you did not do that and chose to apply settings to Admins only, then this post is for you. It will explain how to setup your Profiles for Geopointe access.  If you have enabled your users for access, but they are getting permissions errors on things, here’s what you need to do.

Edit the Profile in question

Give access to the Geopointe application

Edit the tab access

Admin access

End User access

Edit the Object access

Admin access

End User access

After you have completed this, save the profile.

Apex Class access

Scroll to the bottom of the profile and edit the Apex Class Access related list.  Give access to the geopointe.API class.

Visualforce Page access

Scroll to the bottom of the profile and edit the Visualforce Page Access related list.  Give access to all of the Pages that start with the word “geopointe”.

Below is a video showing this feature in action.

Enabling the Feature

The feature is enabled through the use of a Custom Button that simply passes additional parameters across in the URL.  The URL in the video example is:

/apex/geopointe__Map?

Id={!Account.Id}

&wbRecordId={!Account.Id}

&wbField=Related_Account__c

&wbLookupObject=Account

&wbButtonText={!URLENCODE("Relate This Account to " & Account.Name)}

Let’s break it down

/apex/geopointe__Map?

Id={!Account.Id}

The above is the URL from the button included with the application. It is required to sent the user to the proper page in the proper context.

&wbRecordId={!Account.Id}

wbRecordId is the ID of the record we will be writing back to.

&wbField=Related_Account__c

wbField is the field on that record we will be populating.

&wbLookupObject=Account

wbLookupObject is the object type that we will be searching for and populating the lookup field for.

&wbButtonText={!URLENCODE("Relate This Account to " & Account.Name)}

wbButtonText is optional, but can be included if you want to customize the button’s text. It is recommended to use the URLENCODE function when specifying your text, especially if you are merging in data from the system.
