Cartogram enables hospitals to easily add, edit, remove, and manage content inside of a venue on an indoor map. This content includes:

• Labels
  These are text-based elements displayed on the map. Labels can lie flat against the map as overlays or “pop up” like billboards (known technically as markers). Labels can be customized to provide clear and relevant information about the location.
• Beacons
  These are the database representations of the physical beacon hardware inside a venue. Hospital staff can add or edit beacons and define notifications and user targeting, ensuring accurate navigation for users.
• Icons
  Icons are images shown on the map to indicate various points of interest. Like labels, they can be configured as overlays or markers, enhancing the user experience by providing clear visual cues.
• Events
  Events are temporary text-based elements that occur within specific time windows. Hospital staff can use this to convey critical information such as appointments, special programs, or limited-time services.
• Floors
  For multi-floor buildings, floors can be created and differentiated using images, tiles, or vectors. Hospital administrators can manage and update floor information to accurately represent the building’s layout.
• Floor Connections
  Floor connections include elevators, escalators, ramps, or staircases that facilitate movement between different floors.
• Waypoints
  Waypoints are an invisible layer on the indoor map, connecting the physical world to the indoor map’s visualization. They determine the route shown to users when “Get Directions” is triggered. Waypoints are commonly used to define areas where users can and cannot walk, providing optimal navigation guidance.

1. Adding and Removing Paths
   Hospital staff can easily add and edit sections on the indoor maps. Whether they need to add a path or close one, staff can swipe over the region of the map to edit its accessibility. Updates will be reflected in directions given to visitors.
2. Modifying Information
   Cartogram’s CMS allows staff to customize points of interest, using features like labels, events, and tours to provide users with accurate and specialized information.
3. Web and App-Based Platforms
   Hospital staff can access the CMS through a secure web portal, enabling them to update and modify maps as needed. Additionally, Cartogram offers a mobile application that allows staff to view and edit maps.

While Cartogram’s CMS empowers hospital staff with user-friendly map management tools, Cartogram can collaborate with the hospital to ensure that indoor maps are tailored to their unique needs and specifications.

• Content Management Services
  Cartogram’s experts can manage map content directly at the hospital’s request. Whether updating room names, adding new paths, or modifying point-of-interest information, Cartogram staff can handle map updates.
• Support and Training
  Cartogram provides ongoing support to hospital staff using the CMS. This ensures the hospital team feels confident in managing the maps and can quickly address any questions.
