Small Markers

The new markers have an optional smaller version based on the users zoom level.

  • This option is only available when using the new marker style.

  • Some experience with JSON is recommended but not required.
    If you require any assistance please contact our support team at helpdesk@qedas.com

The small marker will replace the standard square icon with a smaller dot to indicate the resource status.

Large Markers

This can be useful for more densely populated areas.

The small markers can be assigned to specific SpaceTypes and can be dynamically set by the user's zoom level.

How to configure

Similar to the new marker style, these options can be configured via the Stylesheet.

Navigate to the Stylesheets page, found under the Administration Settings menu.
Find the correct Stylesheet from the list and click the Edit icon ().

Navigate to the Map Profiles page via the Admin Dashboard, this can be accessed under the Administration Settings menu.

Find the Map profile that you want to update, then click the Edit icon () in the Action column.

This is the Stylesheet that needs to be updated.

You will see the Stylesheet editor, it should look similar to the above.

You will need to modify the JSON data found above the line /** LINE REQUIRED - CSS BELOW **/.

Below is an example of a Small Marker configuration.

In this example, 3 different Space Types have been configured to use the smaller markers (Desks, Parking and Rooms).
Any existing SpaceType values can be used.
To apply the small marker style to the non-resource markers, such as Maplinks, URLs and Non-Interactive markers use the value ”hotspot”.

"small_markers": { "Desk" : [0, -4], "Parking": [4,-4], "Room": [-0.5, -4], "hotspot": [-1,-4] },

The “small_markers” value expects a list of SpaceTypes inside curly braces “{ … }”.

Each SpaceType needs to be inside quotation marks, followed by a colon, with 2 values inside square brackets “[ x, x ]”, separated by a comma.

The final SpaceType listed does not require a comma.

The number values are the zoom range for the Small Markers to be applied.
They can be between 4 and -4, fully zoomed in and fully zoomed out, respectively.

The zoom value can be found when previewing a Map profile, look in the URL for the value “&zl=”, the number shown here will be the current zoom level.

In the above example:

  • Desk spaces will show the smaller markers until the user zooms in.

  • Parking spaces will always show the smaller marker regardless of the zoom level.

  • Rooms will only display the smaller markers when the user Zooms out to -0.5, which is two clicks of the zoom-out button.
