Each group can carry a short piece of About text — a friendly line or two that explains what the group covers. It's optional, but a well-written blurb helps visitors understand a group before they open anything inside it.
Where to write it
-
Open the Groups tab
In the Advanced editor, open your map and click the Groups tab.
-
Edit the group
Click Edit on the group you want to describe to open its fields.
-
Fill in About (directory text)
Type your description into the About (directory text) field, then Save and publish.
What it's for
The About text is an optional blurb attached to the group. Some directory layouts show it next to the group's landmarks, so treat it as a caption a visitor might read while browsing — not a heading and not a place for essential instructions.
Writing a good blurb
| Do | Skip |
|---|---|
| Keep it to a sentence or two | Long paragraphs that get truncated |
| Say plainly what the group covers | Repeating the group's name back at the reader |
| Use everyday, welcoming wording | Jargon or internal shorthand |
| Leave it blank if it adds nothing | Padding it out just to fill the field |
Not every group needs an About line. If the group's name already says it all — Toilets, Car parks — feel free to leave the field empty.
