I'm trying to display information from SmartGroups in a non-standard gridded fashion. I'd like to be able to choose a specific location on the page where I would like to place each container e.g. if the containers reference countries I'd like to display them individually over their correct location on a map.

I think (hope?) this is possible through the use of formulas i.e. creating new shapes that reference data within the Smart Group. However I am struggling with the syntax and a lack of other examples from which to learn from.

One additional note: the Smart Group is based on an org chart (which itself is based on an excel spreadsheet). Technically the solution to my issue (mapping fields against physical locations on a page) could also reference the org chart or even the spreadsheet itself. 

Any/all help and guidance would be gratefully received.
