General

The Interactive Map module is an interactive touch card on which different points of interest can be indicated.

The ‘map’ can be a geographical map, but can also just be an image of different products; a landscape; a production process;… You can place touch points on this image. This is often visualized by means of a pin. When you press this pin, you will see a pop-up with text and assets (video and/or photo).

When you click on “Interactive Map” in the module menu, you will get an overview of all existing Interactive Map modules, as well as a button to add an Interactive Map module.

Maps

Open

It is possible to add multiple maps within an Interactive Map module, each of which has its own information. A list of all created maps can be seen on the left-hand side and the details of the selected map on the right-hand side .

You can determine the following for the selected folder:

• Map name: internal name

• Map thumbnail: miniature image that is used for navigation between different maps
  Tip: Optimal resolution: 94px x 94px

• General map info: can be set per language

• Map: background, the map itself. This can also be set per language. If it is the same for every language, activate ‘apply to all languages’ after you have uploaded your photo or video and before saving.

  • image: .jpg or .png

  • video: .mp4. The video is playing in loop with audio.

Draggable original size

• Default off: the system will automatically fit the uploaded photo or video into screen

• One: the system will use the original file size and add scroll functionalities

  • screen size = asset size → no scroll

  • screen width < asset width → horizontal scroll

  • screen height < asset height → vertical scroll

  • screen width and height < asset width and height → horizontal and vertical scroll

The starting point of the charged asset is always top left. To add this, you can use some CSS rules

Categories

Categories are a solution to group your touch points. If all touch points fall under 1 category, you are also required to create 1 category.

A list of all created categories can be seen on the left-hand side and the details of the selected category on the right-hand side . You can determine the following per category:

• Drop Image: determines the indicator of the touch point itself.
  Tip: Optimal resolution: 90px x 150px

• Icon: an image that will be placed in the drop image
  Tip: Optimal resolution: depends on the drop image’s size and shape

• Category Title: set a title per language

Tip: you can also upload a transparent image at ‘drop image’. This makes parts of your background image clickable, without a ‘typical drop image’ appearing on it.

Touchpoints

You can determine where the touch points will be visible and what their content is within the tab “Touch points”.

A list of all created touch points can be found on the left-hand side; the details for the selected touch point on the right-hand side.
