1.scope of functions

If 2D maps are enabled in your account, you will get an additional menu item "Map" in the calendar. Your customers will find exactly the same menu item in the calendar menu in the booking widget. There you can optionally activate the maps in the settings if required.

You can access your 2D maps via the "Map" menu item.

In the 2D Map menu you get three controls:

  • Map selection (left)
  • Selection of the period (middle)
  • Zoom (right)

In the drop-down menu on the left, you can easily and conveniently select the 2D map you want to use, if multiple maps are stored in your account.

In the timeline in the middle you can select the desired period of your booking. With the left slider you can move the whole time range. With the right slider you can change the length of the period. The occupancy of your resources updates automatically in real time.

You can zoom in and out of the 2D map with the mouse wheel. Alternatively, you can use the magnifying glass with the "plus" or "minus" in the upper right corner.

Via Drag&Drop you can easily move the 2D map to the desired location on your screen.

Clicking on the "Plus" in your map opens the usual booking sidebar, where of course your selected time range is already pre-populated.

3.use with mobile devices

The use of 2D maps is also possible without any problems. Your users can use the familiar gestures to zoom or drag&drop to move the map. The time selection can also be operated via drag&drop. Thus, the user experience of the maps is also ideally given for mobile users.

4.integration with your booking widgets

Offer the visual booking via 2D maps also for your customers and employees. Under "Widgets" you can edit the corresponding widget. In the "Appearance" tab you will find the "Available displays" selection, where you can activate the cards.

5.do you want to use 2D maps?

The 2D maps are based on SVG graphics. Send us your floor plan and we will create your individual 2D maps for you. Alternatively, you can also provide us with your own SVG graphics, which will be post-processed by us for integration.
