Add a Tour Stop

1. Click on Tours in the top navigation

2. To add a stop to a particular tour, click the three dots (...) to the right of the tour, then click Tour Stop in the context menu that appears.

3. The tour stop editing page appears.

If you did not create this stop using the steps above (say if you duplicated the stop from another tour), you'd select Link Existing Item to select the tour this stop belongs to (its parent).

Title: Title of the stop. Do not include the stop number in the title. Stop numbers are added automatically, and change if stops are re-ordered in the Tours listing in the CMS.

Featured image: Displays at the top of the tour stop page. Add multiple images to create a gallery.

1. To use a template, first select one of the available templates in the drop-down: Architecture, Art Gallery, or Aviation.

2. New fields appear. For this example, we'll use the Architecture template.

3. We then link an architect, style, enter a date, and enter a building address (if needed).

Data like biographies or style descriptions are shown as collapsed links. Tapping one displays the expanded content.

1. Click the + (plus) button, then search for a block by name or navigate to it by selecting a group, then selecting the type of block. To embed a YouTube video, you could type 'video' or click on Embeds, then click on Video.

2. The block appears. The fields in each block are different depending on the type of content you're adding.

3. In our video example, the block has fields for the Video URL and an optional Transcript.

1. Click the three dots (...) on the right side of the block, then click Duplicate Set.

2. That's it.

1. Click the block's heading once, to collapse it (or use the collapse all button at the top right of the section).

2. Then, click and drag the handle at the top-left of the block, and drop it where you want it to appear on the page.

3. To add new blocks between existing ones, hover between them on the left-side of the block. A + (plus) button will appear. Click the + (plus) button to choose a new block.

If this is a tour stop on a GPS-enabled tour, here we enter a pair of latitude-longitude coordinates, that the visitor can navigate to using their maps app.

Learn how to retrieve lat-long coordinates.

Below the latitude and longitude coordinate fields is Orienteering Note. As the help text states, this optional field can help guide your visitors to the correct place once they arrive.

If you are using keypad wayfinding rather than QR codes, there is a Keypad number field at the bottom of this tab.

If you select keypad wayfinding and do not enter keypad numbers into your stops, that feature will not work.

Upload an audio file for the stop's audio player. The field accepts MP3 and M4A files with a maximum file size of 10 MB.

You can also create generated text to speech audio with our built-in tool.

Enter an existing audio transcript or generate one with our built-in tool by clicking the three dots to the right, then clicking Transcribe Audio. This can take several minutes. Text placed into this field will be accessible via a 'Show Transcript' button embedded in the audio player.

1. Click the + button to add a link.

2. Enter an optional context for the link, the URL, a link title, and a link description.

3. To rearrange the links, click the link block's heading once to collapse it. Then, click and drag the handle at the top-left of the link block, and drop it where you want it to appear.

4. To temporarily hide a link, click the toggle on the right side of the link block. To delete a link, click the three dots (...) on the right side of the link block, then click Delete.

Slug

URL of the tour stop you're viewing. If you change the slug, the old URL will redirect to the new one, and existing Tourient-issued QR codes should continue working. QR codes created elsewhere may not.

Meta description

Used in search engine results to improve SEO, and may appear on the home page, depending on your settings.

In the right-hand sidebar, you can create a sponsor or link an existing sponsor to this stop.

On the visitor facing app, this displays as the sponsor name shown below the stop title. Alternatively, you can add sponsors to the Tour page, or directly in the route map.

To move a stop to a different tour, first unlink its existing parent, then link it to a new parent.

Once assigned to the new parent, drag and drop to rearrange the order.
