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.
