The Infopoint app allows you to define teams of individuals who have access to the same resources and files within the platform. Teams can represent the members of an organisation such as a museum or art gallery that you are a member of, or can represent sub-groups within a single organisation.
You can be a member of multiple teams, and each team can have any number of members, but each team has its own details and associated resources that only members have access to. This mean you cannot share any files and resources between different teams.
You can belong to more than one team at any point in time.
To see the list of teams that you are a member of, selected the 'Teams' option from the top navigation bar, then make sure that you have also selected the 'Teams' subsection from the sidebar on the left. A table of the teams that you are a member of will appear in the center of the page.
You can create a new team at any point, with its own internal Database, Media Library, and set of team members. Click the 'Create' button at the top left of the list of teams that you are a member of, and complete the basic details of the new team in the screen that appears: the team name, main contact email, and address of the relevant organisation, then click on the 'Create and close' button.
You can be a member of multiple different teams, but you can only work with the details and records of a single one of those teams at any point in time when you are logged into the platform. We call this your currently 'active team'. For example, if you are a member of 3 teams, and 'Team A' is your currently active team, you will only be able to view the records and media objects of 'Team A' when navigating through the platform.
You can change which is the currently active team at any point. Left click on a team from the list of teams that you are a member of. In the screen that appears, click on the 'Make this the currently active team' switch, then click to 'Save and Close'.
If you are the owner or administrator of a team, you are able to add or remove individuals from the team. This allows you to create groups of individuals who will have access to the same team account and all the resources associated with it.
The steps to manage the members of your team are:
Infopoint allows you to store information about records and media objects in multiple languages, and then allows you to create multilingual guides to communicate that information to your audience.
One of the first steps you undertake with a new team account should be to define the languages you want to support, and critically, which should be your default language. Changing the default language in the future may lead to content being lost.
The steps to define the languages you want to support are:
When first starting out with the app, you will be a member to a single team. A team usually represents the organisation that you represent, or a team within that organisation. You can define some basic details about your organisation by following these steps:
You can communicate information with non-team members through an online portal and through digital guides that you create and manage through the Infopoint platform. Both your portal and your digital guides are online resources that will be accessible from the https:/i.infopointapp.com domain name.
If you want, you can define your own custom domain name from which to make your resources available. The steps to define your own custom domain name are:
If you define your own custom domain name from which to direct visitors to your digital guides and portal, you can also include any Google analytics tracking codes that you have associated with this domain, in order to collect analytics and statistics regarding visitor access to your guides and portal.
To associate a Google Analytics code with your Team account, left click on a team from the list of teams you are a member of, then navigate to the Analytics tab. In the field Google Analytics tracking code, enter the Google Analytics tracking code that is associated with the custom domain you have defined for this team (this tracking code should be in the form GA-xxxxxxx). Click 'Save and close' to store the change.
If you are using and deploying Infopoint in locations under your care, you can also allow the Infopoint platform to start collecting basic analytics and details about the number of interactions that individuals have with the Infopoint.
To enable this simple Infopoint tracking service, left click on a team from the list of teams you are a member of, navigate to the Analytics tab, then select the 'Enable Infopoint Statistics' option.
