Create Your Venue

Overview

Setting up your Venue is the first step to organizing your content and launching your Empower PWA and Digital Labels. Creating your Venue creates the primary boundary, holding your Buildings and Levels. Use our guided workflow when you first login into the Console to create the relevant Venue structure, and edit from there.

When you first login, our guided workflow will help you create your Venue. You will be prompted to enter and confirm your Venue name or address.
The guided workflow will ask What does your venue look like?
Select from the three options below to auto-create relevant Venue records.
1. Single building - indoor only
2. Buildings with outdoor area - indoor and outdoor
3. Outdoor area only

Your Venue is now ready! Choose your next action from the guided workflow, or skip to return to the Console Dashboard.

The onboarding guided workflow cannot be restarted after the venue has been created. If you want to change your selection after your Venue has been created, you can manually delete the linked records, then manually create your Venue structure.

What is created with each Venue type?

When prompted "What does your venue look like?", your selection auto-creates relevant Venue records.

Single building - indoor only creates:
1. One building named after the venue name
2. One level named “Ground”, “G”
Buildings with outdoor area - indoor and outdoor creates:
1. One building named after the venue name
2. One level named “Ground”, “G”
3. An outdoor level named after the venue
Outdoor area only creates:
1. An outdoor level named after the venue

Next Steps

From here you can continue creating your Venue's Levels, Buildings and Spaces.

Manage and Edit the Venue

Open the Venue tab of your Console's left-hand navigation panel. You can edit existing Buildings and Levels, or create new ones.
To delete a Venue, you must first unpublish it: Navigate to the Venue, click Revert to Draft, and then perform a Public Release. Once the Venue status is Draft, return to the main Venue page, select the three-dot menu next to the Venue name, and choose Delete.

Confirm Your Changes

After you've created or edited your Venue, complete the release process to make the content visible to visitors.

Publish your Venue (select Publish) in the Console to make it ready to release.
Release to Public from the Releases page in the Console.

Tip: If you have an IMDF file (Indoor Mapping Data Format) for your venue, you don't need to manually create a Venue in the platform.
