# Configuring the ALICE Directory to Display a Map

## This guide walks through the two configuration options for displaying a map on the ALICE Directory.

A map can be set up on the ALICE system either using a menu button that will appear on the system at all times or as a contact card within the Directory view.

### Configuring Maps as a Menu Button

1. On the ALICE kiosk, launch the **ALICE Configuration.**
2. Select the **Menu Buttons** section.
3. Click the **Add Button.**
4. Under "Button Text," give the button a name that will be clear to the customer. 
     - Example: Building Map
5. Select **Open Media File** and click on the 3 dots icon **...** which will open up Windows' File Explorer.
6. Select the image that will be used for the map.  
     - The file should be stored on the local PC. We recommend C:\\Program Files (x86)\\WinTech LLC\\Alice\\Directory\\Content\\CardImages
     - The ideal image dimensions are 1080 x 1097 for landscape systems and 1024 x 1080 for portrait systems.
7. Select an icon to be associated with the button.
8. Click the **Finish** button to save and launch the Directory.

### Configuring Maps as a Contact Card

1. Log into the ALICE Portal as an ALICE Admin.
2. Under Directory Management, select **Directories**.
3. Depending on the type of card the map will be assigned to, select the Company, Department, or Employee tab.
4. Click **Add**.
5. Title the card that will appear on the system.
6. Use the "Card Action" drop-down menu to select **Image**.
7. In the "File Name" field, insert the file path and file name to the image file that will be used for a map.  
     - The file should be stored on the local PC.
     - The ideal image dimensions are 1080 x 1097 for landscape systems and 1024 x 1080 for portrait systems.
     - Example file path and file name: "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\WinTech LLC\\Alice\\Directory\\Content\\CardImages\\map.jpg"
8. Click **Save**.
9. Restart the ALICE Directory to update the system immediately, or wait 60 minutes for the system to refresh automatically.
