Get started with wayfinding

The wayfinding widget is used to help patrons navigate the library, showing the location of facilities and materials.
Articles can also be attached to give more information, and can include images of the location.

The wayfinding module supports:

• Multiple maps for different floors or buildings
• Three different location marker types (pins, rectangles and multi-sided areas)
• Categories (tags) containing multiple locations. Categories are divided into either Materials or Facilities
• Category descriptions and optional article attachment to locations 
• Styling in preferred colors and backgrounds
