Select multiple records from map view

Completely new to Appsheet and not quite know how to word my question in google to get an answer :).

From the map view, is it possible to select multiple pin drops, say be a lasoo, and assign/update the records?

For example, the have multiple jobs over the city displaying as pin drops, I would like to select a group of addresses within a certain area and assign them to a driver.

Thank you.

In general, since you have map view, you may have addresses of the various jobs. You could use a table view ( not a map view) and sort by zip code , street name etc. to easily select pin drops in an area. You can use map view for visually identifying locations.

You could then use a kind of [Status] column with statuses as Not assigned, assigned , delivered for various pins. You could use bulk actions in table view to assign multiple addresses simultaneously. Once the status changes to delivered , you could again use bulk actions and format rules to identify such addresses easily on map view.

Please take a look at the sample app below. Whenever the user visits the park, the user marks it as visited . There are pins with two different icons - visited and not visited. These icons are created using format rules.

Sample app:

National Parks
