Onboarding Guide: Operator Platform - Trails
Creating Trails in Content Management
Design guided routes through your site. Add waypoints, media, policies, and accessibility details. Set whether trails progress automatically or manually and publish them for app users.
- Prior to creating a trail, trail ratings should be created as part of the trail setup process.
- These ratings serve the purpose of displaying additional information on the type of trail. This could be if the trail is considered to be difficult compared to others as a form of cautionary information for audience members.
- Add trail rating information to be displayed in the audience app by giving the trail rating a name, a short description, and choosing a colour to represent that trail rating. Add as many trail ratings as required.
- To create a trail, select an existing site, where the trail is to be based. Any exhibits attached to this site will be available to add to this trail.

- Choose a trail type and add trail information to be displayed in the audience app Trail types now also include golf, with others to follow..
- An existing trail rating can be attached to the trail alongside a trail rating summary that will be displayed in the trail information.
