Add informational cards to pins

You can add informational cards to each pin on the map.

When a user selects the pin (either by hovering over it or selecting it directly), a small card will pop-up with information taken from the dataset you bound to the control, as described in the topic Use data from Excel to insert pins.

Any column you add to the table in the data source (for example, the Excel table) will be available as a field to show on the card.
