Important Always use the Salesforce Maps user interface for creating records related to the managed package objects. Creating records outside of the user interface or adding automation on the managed package objects isn’t supported. See [Support for records created outside of the Maps user interface](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000390023&type=1&language=en_US) in Salesforce Knowledge.

2. Click **Configure** next to the Salesforce Maps package.
3. Choose a permission group and enable polyline layers under Layers.
