Configuring Places for the Office Locator web part

Places can be created in Atlas which are returned in the Place Listing page. This allows you to create pages for different Office Locations or Cities where the organisation operates. Place Pages can be created via Add It but only in the Communications Centre, and each Place page needs to be tagged with a Location tag.

In order for a Place page to be available in the Office Locator web part, the tag should refer to a City which must be a child term of an existing Country term. For example, if we tag a Place page with the United States term from the term set below, the Place page will appear in the Places Listing page but will not be able to be chosen in the Office Locator.

If we tag instead with a child term such as Los Angeles, then this will become available to choose when using the Office Locator web part.

If you want to create more Places you can add them by going to Add It, then choosing the Communication Centre > Page > Atlas Place Page layout and will in the required metadata. Make sure that you remove the Global tag from the page and tag the City instead.

If you need to add new Location tags or restructure the term set to support this please refer to the following article: Managing Term Sets
