The Locations feature in the Edlio Mobile App provides an interactive directory of campuses, athletic facilities, performance venues, and administrative offices, giving parents and visitors easy GPS mapping and facility instructions.
đĄ Best-Practice Adoption Tips for Campus Locations
Guide visiting families and community members smoothly across your district:
Organize Facilities with Folders: Create folders like School Buildings, Athletic Fields & Stadiums, or District Administrative Offices so users can filter by facility type.
Add Critical Arrival & Parking Notes: Use the Additional Information field on each location to provide parking instructions, visitor check-in entrance locations, and ADA accessibility ramps.
Verify Geocoded Map Pins: Double-check map coordinates after entering street addresses so turn-by-turn navigation apps (Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze) guide visitors to the exact visitor parking entrance rather than a bus loop.
Accessing Locations Management
Open Features from the left navigation drawer.
Select Locations to access your facility directory and mapping tools.
Adding a New Location
Click the blue + New button in the top right corner.
Fill in facility details:

Address, City, State, Zip: Complete street address for automatic geocoding.
Contact Information: Phone number, email, and facility website URL.
Image: High-resolution facility photo for visual identification on mobile devices.
Map Pin Calibration: Confirm the geocoded pin location on the interactive map; drag the pin if necessary to anchor it precisely at the visitor entrance.
Click Ok to save the location.
Organizing with Folders
Click + New folder to create a category (e.g., Sports Venues).
