Conference Tracker- How do I manage maps?

INTRO


Creating a map will help your attendees navigate your conference with ease using their Attendee app. You can upload your own map and add important markers. You can also have different maps to showcase different floors or sections of your conference. For example, you can have the main map that shows each session room's location, and you can have a second map that only shows the Exhibit Hall with all of your Exhibiting Companies.

In this section, you can upload either an image or document file to be used as a map for the attendees. These maps can only be accessed by attendees using the Attendee app.


STEP BY STEP


1- Go to Conference-->Maps:



This is the list of maps that have been created so far (if any). To begin creating a new map, simply click on the Create button on the top left of this page. Then follow these steps:





  1. Enter a name for the map. This will be displayed on the Attendee app for your attendees to see.
  2. Optionally, you can enter a description for the map.
  3. Upload a file to be used as the map. You can upload standard image file types (such as .jpg or .png) and even PDFs.
  4. Click the Save button on the bottom of the page once you're done finishing.

2-Markers


You also have the ability to place markers on maps. Markers help you label important points on your maps, such as Rooms or Exhibitors. Attendees are able to see markers you've placed on the map by accessing the map from the Attendee app. To begin creating a marker, click on one of your available maps from the Maps page.

From here, you should be able to see a preview image of the map. To create a marker, follow these steps:


  1. Click anywhere on the image to begin creating a marker. A new marker will appear. You can also create a new marker by clicking on the Add Marker button on the right-hand side.
  2. On the right-hand side, you will see the marker you just created with a color and a name.
  3. You can change the name of the marker by changing the text in the field marked Specify room, company or label.
  4. You can change the color of the marker by clicking on the marker itself and choosing a new color from a preset list of colors.
  5. When you're done, click Ok to finish setting up your marker.

You can move your marker around the map by clicking and dragging it.

To remove a marker, click on the red Trash Can icon next to the name of the marker.

Click on Save at the bottom of the page once you're done making changes to your map.


3-Delete a Map


To delete a map, you have two options:

  1. On the main Maps page, look for the map you would like to delete. On the far right end, there will be three dots. Clicking on these three dots will give you the option to delete this map.
  2. On the main Maps page, click on the map you would like to delete. Once the new page has loaded, you can see a red Delete button towards the top of the page. Clicking this will also delete the map.
