How to add directions to the event?

Provide your event attendees with good directions with a map of important and interesting locations. The Venues functionality is built on Google Maps, allowing GPS navigation to the indicated point.

If you want to add new places, you should first create a category for them, which is a group indicating the type, such as: restaurants, tourist attractions or parking lots.

Select the Create section in the top menu, and then select the Venues module on the left. To add a new category, select the (+) Add New Category icon. While creating the first category, this button will be in the middle of the screen, later you will find the same button in the lower right part of the screen:

After creating a category, proceed to complete the module by adding all the locations. To add a new place on the map, press the (+) Add Place button. In the window that opens, fill in the Name and Address fields - they are required.

When filling in the Address field, you can choose one of the prompts that will appear below, or enter the entire address and indicate the correct place manually:

NOTE!

If the pin appears in the wrong place, you can always reposition it by right-clicking on the appropriate location on the map.

You can also add a website address, description and photo to each of the created objects. These elements are designed to help attendees properly identify the venue, as well as to get additional information or make it easier to book a place.

Each pin can look different on the map. You can set the appearance of a pin using a simple color and icon editor. Select one of the available icons and set the color scheme of each element for it:

PRO TIP

Wanting to avoid excess variations, set a similar color theme for pins in the same category. By duplicating the combination of the same colors, it will be easier to highlight a key pin, which will be the only one that looks different.

Editing visibility in the Venues module allows you to subtly distribute dedicated data, such as VIP parking or the location of an evening event to a closed list of guests. You can set a user group for the entire module or for specific categories within the module.

In order to create objects with access limited to a selected group of users, it is necessary to prepare user_group tags. For detailed instructions, see the article: Tag Database - application content management.

After creating tags in the Tag Database section, from Create>Content, select the Venues module from the menu on the left. In the window that pops up, go to the module settings by pressing the multi-dot to the right of the name. Then select Choose User Group from the drop-down list:

When the window on the right side of the screen opens, select the user_group tags you created earlier to assign to this module:

To change the visibility of each category, go to edit the user_groups tags assigned to it. To do this, press the multi-dot to the right of the category name, and then select Edit User Groups from the drop-down list to change the settings for the selected category:

When the window on the right side of the screen opens, select the previously created user_groups tags that you want to assign to the selected category within the module.

NOTE!

From now on, newly created categories will automatically include all tags added to the module. Remember to remove the All users tag from a category intended only for a specific user group, for example, the VIP group:

PRO TIP

By right-clicking and holding the selected category, you will be able to drag it to another place in the list, switching the order of displayed categories in the Application.

Have a successful event with Meeting Application!
