How can an Account Manager visualize store visits in their territory for the day by their current status?

To visualize the status of daily store visits, the map layer must be based on the Visit object. The Visit object contains the status field (e.g., Planned, In Progress, Completed), which can be used to color-code the map markers. This provides the Account Manager with a direct, real-time operational view of field activities. Using other base objects like Retail Store or Account would only show the locations, not the status of the specific visit activities scheduled for that day.

A. This is less direct. Using the Visit object as the base is the primary and most efficient method for visualizing visit-specific data like status.
B. Using Accounts as the base object would display store locations but would not provide information about the status of individual visits to those accounts.
C. This option uses the wrong base object (Retail Store) and represents markers by shape, not the required color-coding by status.

2. Salesforce Help. (2023). Create a Map Layer. Salesforce Maps Help. "Choose a base object for the layer...Configure markers to show data from the base object." This confirms the principle of using the relevant object (Visit) as the base.
