Help your event guests find their way around easily with a map showing all the important and interesting spots. The Maps feature is built on Google Maps, so people can use GPS navigation to any selected spot.
If you want to add new spots, you first need to create a category for them—a group that shows the type, like: restaurants, tourist attractions, or parking lots.
From the top menu, pick the Create section, then on the left select the Maps module. To add a new category, click (+) Add New Category and enter its name in all language versions:
To add a new place on your map, hit the (+) Add Place button in the category you want.
Name the pin and assign it an Address. You can pick one of the suggestions that show up below, or type the full address and point to the right spot yourself:
If you go with one of Google’s suggestions that pop up under the Address field, the pin will automatically move to the right place
If you don't get the right suggestions when typing an address, try entering a similar or more general address (like just the street name and city). Then, use the right mouse button to put the pin in the correct spot on the map. After placing the pin, enter whatever name you want in the address field.
If you don’t pick any of the suggested addresses and don’t move the pin, the place will save with the default coordinates (0 longitude and 0 latitude):
You can also add a website address, description, and photo to any of your created objects. These make it easier for everyone to identify the place, get a little extra info, or help out with booking.
Each pin can look different on the map. You can set the look of a pin with a simple color and icon editor. Pick one of the available icons and set up the color scheme for each part:
Editing visibility in the Venues module lets you discreetly share special info, like VIP parking or where the afterparty is for a closed guest list. You can set a user group for a whole module or for specific categories inside it.
To create objects with access limited to a selected group of users, you need to prepare tags of type user_group. You’ll find the full instructions in this article: Managing content in the app – Tag Database.
After creating tags in the Tag Database section, from Create > Content pick the Venues module from the menu on the right. In the window that pops up, go to the module settings by clicking the three dots next to the name. Next, pick from the dropdown list Choose User Group:
When the window opens on the right side of the screen, select the user_group tags you created earlier that you want to assign to this module:
To change the visibility of specific categories, go to edit the tags assigned to it user_groups. To do this, click the ellipsis next to the category name on the right, then pick Edit User Groups from the dropdown to change the settings for that category:
After opening the window on the right side of the screen, pick the tags you created before user_grup, that you want to assign to the chosen category in the module.
NOTE!
From now on, any new categories you create will automatically contain all tags added to the module. Remember to remove the tag All users from any category that's meant only for a specific group of users, for example, for the VIP group:
Have an awesome event with Meeting Application!
