The Batch Save Maps Add-In provides an easy way to save maps for each
feature in a layer. This is particularly useful when you want to output maps
for every store in your distribution chain, for example.
The tool also allows you to save images from a second layer with a
matching name. This could be useful when you also want to output a map for
each territory, in addition to the store that it encompasses.
The tool also allows you to control which features from a third layer are
shown, when outputting the batch maps for layers 1 and 2. This could be
useful when you want a map for each store and/or territory broken out by
customer type, such that each map image only shows customers of each unique
type.
