Main Info

• The following procedure below will guide users through a full configuration of the 'Main Info' tab and how to access the page.

Procedure

        B.  Choose a location, follow the row to the Option column and click the icon

Step 2 - Location Name and description

• The short description allows admin users to inform others of the location

Step 3 - Site Location

• This section is used to input the location of the venue/store for customers to find the exact site. 
• It contains three fields:
• Location Address
• Latitude
• Longitude
• Radius

• The Location Address field is used to simply add the address of the site

• The Address field will appear on the locations screen in the app, alongside a map with the location pinned

• Latitude and longitude fields are used in combination with the distance order toggle on the 'Main' tab.
• Inputting these attributes for the venue will allow distance order, if enabled, to sort the venues from shortest to longest distance from the user
• To find the latitude and longitude coordinates of the venue, follow these steps:

1.  Enter https://www.google.com.au/maps into the URL search bar at the top of the browser
2.  Input the venue address
3. Right-click the red pin and a menu bar will open
4. The first selection is the  latitude and longitude coordinates (latitude will be the first number and longitude will be the second) 

• The Radius allows admin users to set how large the area around the location that features will consider. The max is 200m and will start at the centre of the co-ordinates of the latitude and longitude. The default is 100m.

Step 4 - Active 

• A checkbox to activate or disable the location
• ON (tick) - location is enabled and can be used in myplace
• OFF (untick) - location is disabled and cannot be used

        2. Find the location of the desired image

        3. When the image is chosen, click open

        4. A small panel will appear with the image. In this panel, users can scale and move the box area. Once the box covers the desired area click Confirm

        5. The image will now appear under the Image/Logo Title
