This document describes the basics of linking or creating links to the MazeMap web application.

Constructing Links to MazeMap web application:

MazeMap maps are linkable using a fairly easy URL template, made up of:

  • Customer Config Tag

  • Campus ID number

  • Destination POI ID / Identifier / Coordinate

  • Optional Origin / Start POI ID / Identifier / Coordinate

 

Here is a list of example URLs to one of our Demo Campuses:

  1. Link to campus only, using Campus ID

https://use.mazemap.com/?config=meetingroomdemo&campusid=344

2. Link to specific room, using Room Identifier

https://use.mazemap.com/?config=meetingroomdemo&campusid=344&sharepoitype=identifier&sharepoi=MM-1-MR-A

3. Link to a specific room, using POI ID

https://use.mazemap.com/?config=meetingroomdemo&campusid=344&sharepoitype=poi&sharepoi=859813

4. Link to a wayfinding using preset Start / Dest., using Room Identifier

https://use.mazemap.com/?config=meetingroomdemo&campusid=344&desttype=identifier&dest=MM-1-MR-A&starttype=identifier&start=MM-1-MR-E

You will spot in these links the different parameters:

config=meetingroomdemo (this is the customer config tag, never changes, purely arbitrary you or your CSM can agree what to use)

campus=344 (this is the Campus ID, never changes, system-generated so not changeable either)

sharepoitype=poi / identifier (this specifies if you are referring to POI ID or Identifier string)

 

For linking to a specific room / POI

sharepoi=MM-1-MR-A (this is the identifier string of the linked poi)

 

For linking to wayfinding with preset start/dest

startype=poi/identifier (for wayfinding link, this specifies if using POI ID or Identifier for the start)

start=MM-1-MR-E (this is the identifier format for a specific room)

desttype=poi/identifier (for wayfinding link, this specifies if using POI ID or Identifier for the destination)

dest=MM-1-MR-A (this is the identifier format for a specific room) 

 

With these URL parameters you can construct links to campus, or any POIs and wayfinding as long as you know the identifiers/ids of the places you want to route to/from.
