How your guests use the plan – on phones, tablets and with a mouse.
Controls
| Device | Usage |
|---|---|
| Smartphone, tablet | Pan with one finger, zoom with two, double-tap to zoom in. The info sheet slides in from the bottom and can be swiped away by its handle. |
| Desktop | Mouse wheel to zoom, drag with the mouse button held; + and − buttons plus a button that resets the view. |
| Switching plans | Depending on the setting buttons (up to three plans, a dropdown from four), always a dropdown, or the floor selector as a vertical bar – see Map modes. |
A click on a booth
- All of the exhibitor’s areas are highlighted – with
A12, A13both. - The area moves to the center without resetting the zoom.
- The info sheet shows logo, name, type, categories, location, booth numbers and short text; “Details” opens the detail view, plus heart and share.
A click on a room or area
Rooms and areas linked to a calendar venue in the designer tint slightly on hover. A click or the Enter key opens a pop-up with the program items of all days. Cards in it lead to the respective program item. For the setup, see Linking with program & speakers.
Stairs, elevators, buildings
- Stairs, elevators and areas with a floor link open a notice with the destination; “Switch to …” changes the floor or the plan.
- In campus mode a click on a building opens its plan. The button “Back to Campus Overview” in the bar above leads back to the site plan.
- On the fairground the halls’ info cards fade out when zooming in; a click on an info card zooms into the hall or opens its plan – depending on “Click action in overview” in the designer.
Searching and filtering
If the map search is switched on, the magnifier at the top right opens a search field for exhibitors and up to nine quick filters for restrooms, food, first aid and more. Setup: Search & quick filters.
Ways into the plan
| Way | Result |
|---|---|
A page of its own with [event_hall_plan] | The plan as a block, preselected to a hall or building with hall, a booth with booth or a location point with spot. |
| “View on map” in the directory or detail view | The plan opens as a window above the page – already on the right plan with the booth highlighted. |
Full-screen map /?eem_map | The current event’s plan as a page of its own, with search – see Full-screen & App. |
| QR code of a location point | The plan opens at that spot with “You are here” – see Location points & QR codes. |
| Hall plan in the calendar plugin | Sessions can show their room’s plan if the room names match. |
Which plan opens? “View on map” picks the plan whose location matches the exhibitor. If none matches – for an exhibitor without a location, for instance – the first floor in tab order on which one of their booth numbers lies opens.
If “Hide all location & booth information globally” is set at the event, the plan only shows the drawing – the areas are then not clickable.
