Location App

The Location App is the most widely used app across the RoveIQ fleet, providing users with an intuitive interface to search and navigate to locations on your map. By organizing locations into categories and ensuring your map is easy to explore, the Location App enhances user experience and improves engagement. This app is essential for helping users find businesses, landmarks, or amenities across various categories. Here’s how to create and configure your Location App.

Creating a Location App without nesting Location Types inside of it, will result in the Location app displaying ALL locations on the venue.

Place Location Categories in a Location App

Categories, or Location Types, can be displayed directly on the directory UI by nesting a Location Type app within a Location App. For example, this setup allows users to click on a Location App called “Retail” and then view categories such as “Men’s Fashion” and “Women’s Fashion.”
