Whether you’re representing a city’s tourism board, a museum, or a business improvement area, your Organization Name and Description are essential for establishing your brand identity and creating resonance among explorers on the Driftscape App. Beyond this, you can enhance your content organization by creating Sub-Layers, enabling precise categorization and branding within your main organization. This structured setup also helps your visitors effortlessly navigate and filter through your mapped content.

What is an Organization Name?

Your Organization Name is the name that will appear on all of your POIs, and in the Organization Menu within the mobile apps. All of the POIs within Driftscape belong to an “Organization”. Some examples of Organization Names are Visit Greenville, Goldville Museum, Tourism Lethbridge, etc.

In addition to an Organization, you may also have Sub-Layers that are created under the “parent” Organization, and allow for fine-grained branding and filtering of content. For Example if your Organization Name is Visit Greenville, you might have Sub-Layers named “Greenville Attractions”, “Greenville Food & Drink” and “Greenville History”. 

What is an Organization Description?

Your Organization Description will be visible to users when they click on your logo in the apps. Tell your visitors a little bit about you, and feel free to include a link to your website (250 characters max).

See image below for an example of an Organization Description:

How to Edit your Organization Name and Description

Step 1: Access Org Properties

Once you have logged into the Driftscape Content Management System (CMS) at cms.driftscape.com, select Org Properties from the header menu. 

Note: you must have Org Manager permissions in the CMS in order to view and edit Org Properties. 

You will see a list of your organizations, select the pencil icon next to the name of the organization or sub-layer that you would like to edit.

Step 2: Edit Organization Name and Description 

Make your desired changes to the Name and Description fields. These are the only mandatory information fields that require data.

Once you are happy with your edits, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Update. Your changes will take effect immediately.

Explanation of Optional Information Fields

Although the Name and Description fields are the only mandatory information fields within the Org Properties menu, you also have a variety of optional information fields that can be used to enhance your organization. These fields are described below for your reference. 

Name Sort

What you enter in the “Name Sort” field will control how your organization’s name is sorted alphabetically in the list of all organizations with the apps. For example if the name of the organization is “The Distillery District” but you would like it to appear in the alphabetical list under D for Distillery, rather than T for The, you would enter “Distillery District” In the Name Sort field.

Navigator Menu

This field is used by Driftscape personnel if your organization has a Custom Menu. To learn more about our Custom Menu visit Custom Menus for your Organization.

Micro-region notification text

Leave blank unless you are using the Micro-region feature. Micro-regions are used to display specific content only to people who are on-site and to display a welcome message to visitors when they enter your region. To learn more about our Micro-region feature visit the Microregions Overview.

Icons

Every organization in Driftscape has a set of icons that are unique to your brand. Given that these icons will be displayed at a small scale, simple graphics with no or very minimal text work best. For additional best practices, and help creating your icons contact your Driftsape customer success rep. 

Logo

Your Logo will be displayed at the bottom of all of your POIs, and when clicked will display your Organization Description, or the Custom Menu for your organization, if you have one. SVG is the preferred format for your Logo.

Default Image

Provide an image that represents your destination. This image will be displayed for Points of Interest that don't have a specific image associated with them. Default images should have a minimum size of 800x600 pixels. An aspect ratio of 4:3 is ideal. If you would like to change your Default Image, you can do that here, by clicking the “Choose File” button and selecting the image you would like to use.

Access Key

Leave blank unless you want the content shared by your organization to be password protected. To learn more, please visit Password Protected Content.
