Using Wayfinding
Wayfinding can be used in a variety of ways to make it easier for users to navigate a building. Here are the different ways you can use the system:
1. Using QR codes
One of the most effective ways to use wayfinding is to create and physically place QR codes at the starting points within the building. Customers can scan these QR codes to start navigation to their destination immediately. This is particularly useful in larger buildings, where it is important that users find their way quickly and without confusion.
Generate QR code2. Integration into Smart Views
Wayfinding can also be integrated into a Smart View.
In this view, you can select the starting point as an asset and define specific destinations that the user should have access to. Alternatively, you can also release all destinations. This method provides a digital and interactive way to find your way through the building without the need for physical QR codes.

Another option is to provide a general link or QR code that leads to the wayfinding page (/wayfinding). Users can then select the building they are currently in and set the desired starting point.
4. Selecting the starting point and the building
After the user has selected a building, they can determine the starting point within the building. The process is as follows:
Click on "change" [A]
▷ You return to the building view.
Click on one of the floors in [B]
▷ You change the floor.
To select a starting point, click on one of the points on the floor plan from which you want to start, or click on "Select from the list" [C]
▷ A list appears [D], in which a starting point can be searched for and selected.
These options offer flexible ways to use the wayfinding system and ensure that users always find the fastest and most efficient route to their destination. Whether physically via QR codes or digitally via a Smart View – wayfinding is a powerful solution for making orientation in complex buildings easier.
