Overview

Site editors and owners have requested a comprehensive map feature for the Web Platform. Creating a custom map feature with support for multiple locations poses stability and sustainability challenges for our Development Team. Consequently, we are unable to offer these features directly to sites. Instead, the Digital Strategy Team will handle map integration on a site-by-site basis.

New Features

The new map feature supports displaying multiple locations on a single map. It includes options for detailed location information, such as images and descriptive text (e.g., office hours, entry instructions, and parking details). The map feature also supports zoom adjustments, allowing it to cover large areas with multiple locations. For an example, please visit the Map Component section of our Knowledge Base

Adding a Map(s) to My Site

To request a map for your site, please submit a support request with the following details:

  1.  Site Name.
  2. Page URL where the map should be added.
  3.  Name of the location to be displayed.
  4. Optional: Detailed location information (e.g., office hours, entry instructions).
  5. Optional: An image associated with the location to aid visitor identification.
  6. If multiple locations are needed, provide the information for each location as specified in steps 3 to 5.

After your request is submitted, a member of the Digital Strategy Team will contact you to assist with the map installation.
