Eventify offers two types of maps accessible from a single location: Interactive Maps (floor plans with interactive booths) and Location Maps (Google Maps-based venue addresses). Both types are managed from Content → Maps in the admin panel.
In the Eventify Admin Panel left sidebar, navigate to Content → Maps.
The Maps page shows a unified list of all your maps — both Interactive and Location — in a single table with three columns: Name, Type, and Actions. Maps can be reordered by dragging any row up or down.
| Type | What it is |
|---|---|
| Interactive Map | An interactive floor plan canvas. You draw booths, upload a floor plan image, and link exhibitors, sponsors, speakers, and sessions to specific locations. |
| Location Map | A Google Maps-based venue pin. You search for an address and Eventify shows it with GPS coordinates for attendee navigation. |
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Map Name | Yes | Multi-language supported |
| Measurement Type | Yes | Choose Centimeter or Feet — sets the unit for all booth sizes on this map |
| Width | Yes | Canvas width in the chosen unit |
| Height | Yes | Canvas height in the chosen unit |
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Map Name | Yes | Multi-language supported |
| Map Image | Yes | JPEG only, max 5MB, recommended 800×400px minimum |
Click Save. The map opens in the editor.
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Yes | Multi-language supported display name |
| Address | Yes | Type at least 3 characters — autocomplete results appear |
| City | No | Auto-filled from the selected address |
| State | No | Auto-filled from the selected address |
| Zipcode | No | Auto-filled from the selected address |
| Latitude / Longitude | — | Auto-filled; can be manually overridden |
After selecting an address, a Google Map appears with a pin at the location. You can:
Click Save.
Edit: Click the pencil icon on any map row to reopen its form or editor.
Delete: Click the delete icon and confirm. The confirmation message is: "This will permanently delete the Map. Continue?"
Reorder: Drag any map row up or down using the drag handle (≡ icon). The display order is saved immediately. Both Interactive and Location Maps share the same order list and can be interleaved.
Can I have both Interactive Maps and Location Maps at the same time?
Yes. Both types appear in the same list and can coexist. There is no limit on how many maps you can create.
Why is only JPEG accepted when uploading a map image during creation?
The initial upload at map creation time enforces JPEG for mobile device compatibility. PNG is accepted when replacing the background image from within the map editor after the map is created.
What is the difference between Start from Scratch and Upload Map Image?
Start from Scratch creates a blank canvas with defined dimensions — you draw all booth shapes manually. Upload Map Image uses an existing floor plan as the background, on top of which you place booths.
Can I change the canvas size after creating a Start from Scratch map?
Not after creation. The canvas dimensions (width and height) are set at creation time and cannot be changed after saving. Create a new map if you need different dimensions.
Can I reorder Interactive Maps and Location Maps relative to each other?
Yes. The reorder drag applies to the combined list — you can place a Location Map between two Interactive Maps and the order will be reflected in the attendee app.
