Welcome messages¶

The welcome message is a popup that can appear when you first load the map. Welcome messages are configurable per version.

Add a new welcome message¶

Select Add new welcome message and fill in the details:

Name
Title - this will appear in bold at the top of your welcome message
Content - add your message here and make sure to include HTML markup for paragraphs <p>, headers <h2> and links <a href ... >
How often you want the message to show
Update date - a date when the message has been updated enough to reshow it to users
Dismiss using button only - tick the checkbox if you want users to only be able to dismiss your message by using the dismiss button
Dismiss button text - this defaults to Close if you leave it blank
How big you want your welcome message to appear - choose from either a pop-up window or a full screen message

Hint

Ticking the dismiss using button only box and choosing an update frequency of Just once or Always, with custom dismiss button text and a size of full screen can work as a reasonable alternative to a standard 'Agree to our terms' screen. For user experience reasons, try not to do this too much if you don't need to

Edit a welcome message¶

Select the welcome message you want to edit. Make the changes you want and hit Save.

Delete a welcome message¶

Select the welcome message you want to delete. You will be asked if you're sure, press Delete again to confirm.
