Locations pinpoint specific areas, buildings, and points of interest on the map. You can add images, videos, and a text description to each marker. Locations are listed under a category and can be opened from the sidebar, by clicking the marker on the map, or from Search.

Location fields
Title, Category, and the location marker are the only requirements. The rest can wait.
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Name, type, and category | |
| Title | The name visitors see. To break that name onto more than one line on the marker, type \n where the new line should start. The sidebar, category tree, and location details stay on one line. |
| Type | What kind of place this is. Helpful when you filter or bulk edit. The choices are in the table below. New locations start as Standard. |
| Floor Levels | The floors this location appears on. Check one or more, or use Select all, Clear all, or Only. This field shows up when the map has interiors. |
| Category | Where the location lives in the sidebar. You can choose more than one category. |
| Sidebar, visibility, and directions | |
| List Position | Order in the sidebar. Lower numbers sit higher. A value like -100 keeps an important location at the top. |
| Visible | No keeps the location in the CMS. Yes allows it on the public map. Other visibility settings still apply. Watch a short video on visibility. |
| Private | On the public map only for people who have the share link. |
| Schedule | The dates and times when the location appears on the public map. |
| Preferred Parking | The lot driving directions should use when this location is the destination. That lot's Type must be Parking. |
| Preferred Entrances | Up to three Access Point entrances that directions route through when this location is the destination. Appears when wayfinding is on, except on Access Point locations. |
| Content and search | |
| Media | Photos and videos on the location. Photos can be .jpg, .png, or .gif. Videos can be YouTube or Vimeo. |
| Description | The writeup on the location. Links and HTML both work, and you can generate the description with AI. |
| Keywords | Extra words Search can match. They stay off the public location page. Learn more about keywords and Search. |
Type choices
These are the options in the Type dropdown, in the same order.
| Type | Choose it when |
|---|---|
| Standard | None of the other types fit. This is the default. |
| Building | This location is a whole building. |
| Space | This location is a room, lab, auditorium, or other indoor area. |

| Amenity | This location is a single point, such as an AED, phone, fountain, or bike rack. |
| Access Point | This location is an entrance, curb cut, elevator, ramp, or gate. |
Advanced fields
The editor keeps the fields you use most often at the top. Less common fields are grouped under Advanced, which opens collapsed each time you open the editor. Expanding or collapsing Advanced does not change any saved values.
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Location Open | How location information opens for the visitor. |
| Reference | Used for data feeds. Skip this field if you are not using a data feed. |
| Tags | Words for filtering and Bulk Edit, including locations in different categories. Tags stay off the public map. This field used to be called Labels. |
| Feed Embed | A URL that returns HTML. The map appends that content to the location. |
Adding tags
- Type a tag and press Enter or a comma. You can paste a comma-separated list.
- Remove a tag with the ×. A tag you typed is kept even if you have not pressed Enter.
- A repeated tag is ignored, including a different capitalization.
- Older Labels values still work. CSV import accepts a Tags column or a Labels column.
