This article will show you how to create a Facility Map. You can use Facility Maps to give users a sense of the layout of the area where they are reserving a facility, such as campground spots, or tennis courts.
Important Note
- The Facility Map cannot zoom in or out on a specific area.
- Facility Maps are only visible on the desktop view; they will not display on the mobile version.
Instructions
- Navigate to Facilities, and then select Facility Maps
- Select Create Facility Map
- Fill in fields
- Map Name (required): Add a title for the map that will appear on the Catalog
- Location: Select the location where the Facility Map will appear on the Catalog
-
Image: Select an image for the map
-
Note: PNG files are preferred and will produce the best quality.
-
Note: Any image size can be used but we recommend 600 x 400 pixels.
-
- Width & Height: This will prepopulate with the ideal size of the image but can be adjusted if necessary
- Priority: If using multiple maps for a Location, this will set the order in which the maps are displayed. Leave blank if you want the List or Grid view to display first.
- Default Start Time: Enter the start date the facility will be open to rentals.
- Default End Time: Enter the date the facility will be closed to rentals.
-

Do we have to configure the start and end date for every day the facility is open? How do we change the availability color from yellow to green?
Hi Katrina,
The date and start/end time fields are a preview of the filters that will display for users when reserving a facility from the map in the Catalog. The icon colors will automatically update based on the availability of the specific facility.
An update has been made to this feature. You can now configure the Default Start and End Dates when creating the facility and you don't have to do it for every individual day the facility is open.
