🔵 Help & Feedback




🔵 Info & External Links
When you open the Map Apps module, the default app that opens is called Campus Map. On the right are a menu of icons, including +/-, which you can use to zoom in/out. You can also manually zoom in and out just like you would on a smart phone.
The right panel has the app name at the top, followed by information and relevant links. Toggle this panel to show/hide by clicking on the arrow tab on the side of it.

This app has 3 external links in the information panel.

The top link leads to an external website. Scroll up/down the page or click on the yellow hamburger icon (3 stacked lines) at the top-right to get a good idea of what you can find on this site.

The site menu opens.
Click on the white hamburger icon at the top-left to leave the site. As long as that icon is there, you can tell you’re still connected to the Anvil app, and not in an external web browser.

You will be taken to the Anvil home page. Click on the Map Apps icon to return to the Campus Map app.

In this case, we were in the default Campus Map app.
Click on the box icon to view a scrollable drop-down menu of all available map apps.

Notice the white hamburger icon is always at the top-left. You can click on it at any time to return to the Anvil home screen.

🔵 Enter a Building
Here is the default level of detail of the Campus Map.

Manually zoom into a building you want to explore. Tap anywhere on a building to bring up its name, address and photo. For more details, click on the entrance icon to enter the building.
Note that the entrance icon is of a person entering from the left of the doorway.

Entering a building grays out the surrounding map to focus on its interior.

Manually zoom in or use +/- to reveal more details, including room numbers. Below, wheelchair accessible areas, lecture rooms and an Art Gallery are also labeled.

🔵 Navigating Floors
You can tell we are currently on 1st floor, because it says “1ST” in the right menu. Click on it to reveal a full list of floors. Click on the up/down arrows to scroll through the list.

From the list, click on e.g., “2ND” to view the 2nd floor.

Above and below the floor label are stair icons. This is another way to navigate floors. Click on the stair icon below to go one level down, and on the one above to go up. Below, we click on the upwards stair icon and are now on the 3RD floor.

🔵 Geolocation
If you click on the target icon in the right menu, it will show where you are on the map. The icon turns red when toggled on. Your location is marked by a green dot, and will move as you walk around with your device.

If you’re not in the building you were viewing, zoom out to find it again.

To remove yourself from the map, click on the target icon again. The icon changes from red to black.

🔵 Home & Exit
If you click on the home icon while you’re still inside a building, the map zooms to show the building relative to the rest of campus, which is still grayed out.

To return to the building, just zoom back into it. To leave the building, click Exit at any time. This will take you back to the main campus view.

🟩 Search & Sharing
🔵 Search
For most map apps, including Campus Map, whether you’re inside of a building or in the main campus map, there usually is a search bar located at the top-left of your screen.

Below, I type in the word, “Law.” The search results are both listed underneath the search bar, and also marked on the map with blue markers. Click on either the listing or one of the blue markers. A window will pop up on the map with the pin and x/y options, which we will cover shortly.

The same search box is usually available while inside of a building. In the screenshot below, I type “Art” in the search box.
We are currently on the first floor. On the left, each search result lists the floor number. The ones not on the floor we are currently viewing are grayed out. You can navigate to the correct floor to view the grayed out listings.
There are also listings at the top of the search results with a box icon next to them. These are apps. You can click on the Go To App link below each one to open it.

Exit the building by clicking on Exit in the right menu or on the exit icon in the window that pops up when you click on a search result.
Note that the exit icon is of a person exiting from the right of the doorway.

To reset the search, you can delete it with your cursor or click on the green x.

The search box and results are now reset/cleared out, both in the search results tab and on the map. Click on the search results tab arrow to close the panel.

🔵 Sharing Maps
With the exception of the Campus WiFi map, you have the ability to pin landmarks and add notes to them, for sharing.
Click on any point on the map. In the window that pops up click on the pin icon at the bottom-left corner.

The popup has an editable Title, Popup Text and Map Pin color options. To change the Map Pin, hit the drop-down arrow next to that field.

Make your Map Pin selection.

In the Popup Text field, enter any optional text you would like to include in your sharable map. The Popup Title in the field above that is also editable. Hit Save when done.

Click on any additional points on the map you want to pin. Here we click on one more building and then the pin icon like before.

Fill out the Map Point popup like before. This time, we pick a different colored pin. Hit Save.

Back in the map, when finished, click I’m Done at the top of the screen.

The message changes to let you know the Map Link was created successfully and copied to the clipboard. You can open up a browser and paste the URL in there, or you can share the URL by chat or email.
Below that message is a sharable link for the map with the added pins and notes. If you want a QR code, click on Want a QR code?

A QR code appears. You can also use this to share your map with others.

Here, I test the QR code by pointing my phone camera app at it. Click on the URL that appears below it. You can share this QR image with anyone, and they can open your shared map this way, as well.

When I click the link, it opens in my device’s browser. At the bottom of the map is a Locations tab with the 2 locations that I pinned, with the text I entered into the Popup Text field below each Popup Title.

Click on a listing to view it on the map.

Each listing you click on will center onto the map with the popup containing the Popup Title and Popup Text.

All the same map features are available when opened in a browser, including the search tab and ability to open other apps from here.

🔵 X/Y Coordinates
Copy Latitude and Longitude values to your clipboard for any point on a map, including unmarked spots on the map. This works for nearly all of the map apps, with the exception of the Campus WiFi app.
Here, we click on the Matt Knight Arena. A window pops up with an x/y icon at the bottom-right.

To copy its Latitude and Longitude values to the clipboard, click on the x/y icon. A message will popup with the values in gray, and below it in green, a notification that the Lat/Long have been copied to your clipboard.

Clicking anywhere on the map gives you the same x/y icon and ability to copy the Lat/Long values to your clipboard.


🟩 Standard & Satellite Views
The map can be viewed either in standard or satellite mode.
Click on the small square at the bottom-left corner of your screen to view you map in satellite mode. You can toggle this mode on/off by clicking on the square.

Here is the map in satellite mode. All of the same street and building labels are still there.

At any zoom level, you can click anywhere on a landmark/building to learn more about it.
🟩 Logged In Access
🔵 Intro
Logging into the app gives the user access to more detailed information.
Click on Log In at the top-right. Fill in the prompt for your UO ID and password.

When logged in, your name will replace “Log In.”

Now when we click on a building, there are 3 additional icons at the bottom of the information box that weren’t there before. We will go over each one in the sections that follow.

The roof icon at the bottom of the Building Details window opens UO Spaces.
UO Spaces is a live, web-based space management database that allows us to provide consistent data to Federal and other agencies and to conduct and participate in benchmarking studies with our peer institutions. The space database serves many functions. Most significantly, it helps the university meet Federal requirements related to accurate tracking of all space under the university’s control. It is an essential component in formulating the university’s Facilities and Administrative (F&A) Cost rate.
Space management, academic planning, and capital projections are additional activities supported by UO Spaces.

When you first open UO Spaces, there are a few paragraphs about it, including how to get access, if you need it. If you have access click Click here to login at the top-right.

Here’s a close-up of the unpinned icon.

When the unpinned icon is clicked, it changes to the pinned icon. Now that there are saved pins to clear, the x-pin icon at the top is now active and not grayed out.

Click on the x-pin icon to clear all pins. A confirmation popup appears. Click Unpin All to continue, or Cancel.

The x-pin icon is grayed out again because all pins have been cleared.

Using the x-pin icon goes for all pinned measurements. Below, we pinned an area and a distance measurement. You can save multiple measurements using any of the tools.

🟩 Other Map Apps
🔵 Other Apps
So far, we’ve been in the Campus Map app. From here, we can access many other map apps. The quickest way to navigate to other map apps is to click on the green box icon as shown below.

App links also show up in other places as you use the map app. For example, if you do a search, the search results will include relevant apps and link to the app.

When you click on an app link using either method, you’ll navigate away from the current app. Below, we have opened the Women’s Built History map app.
The features are very similar for all of the apps, with a few variations, depending on the goal of each.
To return to the main Campus Map, either click on the arrow icon. Or you can click the box icon and select Campus Map.

🔵 Example Apps
Each map app is unique, but the navigation is consistent between them. We’ll go over a few example apps to help you get the hang of navigating them.
For a list of other example maps and apps, visit Other Map Apps in the Conclusion section of this tutorial.
⚫ Campus Addresses
The first example we’ll walk you through is the Campus Addresses app. Click on the box icon to open the app menu, and select Campus Addresses.

On the right, you’ll see the title of the map, with a brief description below it.

Under the Campus Addresses tab on the left, click on listing to view it on the map and view the full address. You can also click on a building on the map for the same result. This tab is for quick access to addresses.

The list of buildings is in alphabetical order, but is a lot to scroll through.
You can also enter a search term in the search bar at the top-left to access the standard map options that operate independent of this app. Below, I enter “Art.” A separate tab called Search Results opens up, with a list of search results below it. Blue map markers on the map correspond with each listing. Click on either the listing or blue marker to open up the information pop up.

Unlike the focused Campus Addresses tab for quickly scrolling through and finding the address, clicking on a listing in the Search Results tab gives you the address as well as all the other standard map options like relevant external links, the option to enter the building, and the pin and x/y coordinates features.

In the Search Results tab, each search listing has an icon next to it, depending on what they are. In this case, there’s a building icon next to the listing we clicked on. Your navigation options will vary depending on the type of listing it is. For example, the entrance icon is only available for buildings.

Another example is the art palette icon. These are for art pieces, like sculptures. There’s no option to enter since it’s not a building, but you can usually read about it or view photos.

To reset your map, click on the x in the search field or delete your entry using the cursor and backspace.

Click on the Campus Addresses tab to return to the app-specific options.

Now we are back where we started.

⚫ Campus WiFi
⚪ Navigation & Main vs Building Interior Legends
You can view the Campus WiFi map by selecting it from the apps drop-down menu.

The panel on the right includes a brief description with a legend below it. The campus map is color-coded according to the legend:
Green - Building has full WiFi Coverage
Yellow - Building has Partial WiFi Coverage
Red - Building has No WiFi Coverage
This app doesn’t have a search feature like most of the others do. In the left panel, scroll the list of buildings with WiFi. Each listing has the building address and below that, information on whether the building has Full, Partial or No Coverage.
Some of the listings have an doorway icon. Click on it to enter a building.

Below, we click on the doorway icon for 1629 Moss - NILI. The address and floor can be found at the top of the screen. The floor level is also labeled in the stack of icons on the right. The up stair icon is green, meaning there is a floor above this level. The down stair icon is gray, meaning there isn’t a floor below this level.
The map legend is always on the right so you can determine the density level of WiFi available in different areas of the interior of a building.
When in the main map view, the legend is used to determine the coverage area for each building (full/partial/none). When inside of a building, the legend is used to communicate the level of coverage in areas of the building (hi density/standard/none).

We click on the green up stair icon to view the 2nd floor. Now, the up stair icon is grayed out because this is the top floor, and the down stair icon is green, because the 1st floor is below. Click Exit to exit the building.

We are now back in the main campus WiFi map. Here, the building list is hidden. You can toggle on/off the building list dropdown by clicking on the list/map icon at the top.

⚪ Filter - Only Show Buildings with High Density WiFi
Below the legend are 2 filters. If we check the box next to Only show buildings with High Density WiFi, a lot of the map gets grayed out. While the color coded buildings refer to WiFi coverage, this filter shows buildings with at least one area of High Density WiFi inside their building.

Zoom into one of the highlighted buildings. This building is yellow because it has partial WiFi coverage, but at least one area in the building has High Density WiFi. Clicking on the building brings up the doorway icon. Click on that to enter the building (not all buildings will have this option).

The label at the top has the building name and current floor number. On the right is the usual stack of navigation icons including the up/down stairs, floor number and exit.
Click on the map icon at the top to toggle out of the list view, so you can view more of the map.

When the list view is toggled off, the map icon changes to a list icon, which you would click to reopen the drop-down list.

⚪ Filter - Show Outdoor WiFi Zones
The other filter is called Show Outdoor WiFi Zones. If there are any logged in the app, clicking on this filter would highlight them and gray out all of the irrelevant areas and buildings.

⚪ Exiting the App
To exit the app, click on Home at the top-right. Unlike most of the other map apps, this app doesn’t have the option to select which app to jump to next from the app drop-down menu.

Now we are back in the default app, called Campus Map.

To return to the Campus WiFi map app, click on the box icon to bring up the apps dropdown list, and select Campus WiFi.

⚫ Construction Impacts 
⚪ Map Legend
Select Construction Impacts from the apps drop-down menu.

There are 2 filter options under the heading, Map Legend. You can toggle these options on/off individually by clicking the check box next to each.
Construction Area - Marked with blue pins with a construction icon.
Shutdown Area - Marked with orange pins with an exclamation point icon.
Click on any pin to learn more about each area. Adjust the date range at the top of the screen to view activities for those dates (covered in more detail in the next section).

To close the side panel, click on the arrow on the side of it to toggle it to hide.

Click on the home icon at the top of the navigation menu on the right to center all of the pins that meet the selected criteria. In this case, it’s for both Construction and Shutdown Areas (both are checked in the map legend in the screenshot above), occurring between 2/6/25 and 2/13/25.

⚪ Date Range
Make sure the date range at the top is correct. Click on either date field to open the calendar.

Don’t worry about what the calendar looks like when you first open it.

The bottom of the calendar shows today’s date. Click on it to clear the date range. Now the To Date (2nd) field is cleared and today’s date is in the From Date (1st) field. Also, only today’s date is highlighted in the calendar.

You can scroll forward/backward through the months by clicking on the arrows at the top-right of the calendar.
At the top-left, it shows the months and year of the 2 months currently showing on the calendar. Click on it to view the full list of months in one screen.
Each time you click on the top-left range, it will zoom out/broaden the timeframe.

Now the label at the top-left of the calendar now shows a year range instead of a month/year range. The range here is 2025-2026, with the left group of months being for 2025 and the right group for 2026. Click on any month to view it. Here, we clicked on August 2025.

After selecting August 2025, the calendar for August 2025 - September 2025 opens up. The date at the bottom still reflects today’s date.

If you click on the month/year range at the top-left again, it will again take you to the nearest year range of months (2025-2026).

This time, instead of clicking on a month, click on the range at the top-left again.

Now, the year range has widened in both directions to 2020-2039. You can select any of the years within that range to view a list of months for that year.

Click the top-left range again to broaden it even further. Click on any year range below to start to drill back in on the timeframe, back down to a specific year, month and day. The quickest way back is to click on today’s date at the bottom of the calendar. Click on it.

The From Date field has today’s date (which is also highlighted on the calendar), and the second, To Date field is blank.

If you click on a date on the calendar after the From Date, it will automatically fill in the To Date field.

Let’s back up one step, with only today’s date selected and showing in the From Date field.

Now, if you click on a date occurring before the date in the From Date field, it replaces the date in that field.

Click on a date occurring after the From Date to fill in the To Date field.

⚪ Construction Impacts vs. Search Results Tabs
🟣 Construction Impacts
The left panel lists all the Construction Impacts that match your date and map filter criteria (from the right panel) that we covered in the previous 2 sections. Click on any listing to view it on the map and read more about it. You can also click on any pin to read more.
View/hide the left panel by clicking on the arrow on the side of it.

When you zoom into the map, you can see the Areas are shaded in and color-coded and to match the pins.

Each pin generally has a Contact link and sometimes a link to more information, like in the example below.

🟣 Search Results Tab
The search box is found at the top-left of most screens and almost all apps including this one. It functions the same across all apps, regardless of which one you’re searching from.
Below, I type “Knight” into the search box. A separate tab called Search Results opens up. These results are separate from any settings in the app you’re searching from. Clicking on any result for more information brings up the standard set of information, including the option to enter a building. The icons are different from the ones used on the Construction and Shutdown pins.

To clear the Search Results and restore the original map, click on the x next to the the search field or use your cursor to delete your entry.

The search results tab on the left is now blank and only Construction Impacts pins are showing on the map.

Click on the Construction Impacts tab to view the original list again.

⚫ Fire Safety
⚪ Intro
Select the Fire Safety map app from the apps drop-down menu.

Click on the box icon and select Fire Safety to return to the app.

⚪ Filter the Fire Safety Tab List
You can filter this app’s list by typing something in the field at the top. Here, we type in Library and get one result. Since we’re still in the Fire Safety tab, the results keep the same app functionality, providing access to the Building Evacuation Maps.

In contrast, using the search field at the very top gives us the general map results, icon set and information.

⚪ Map Legend
While the Fire Safety tab provides a way to access Building Evacuation Maps, the Map Legend identifies important fire safety landmarks: Hydrants, Sprinklers, Fire Dept. Connections, Standpipes and Fire Lanes.

Show/hide map markers by clicking on the check box next to each option in the Map Legend.

The Map Legend map pins aren’t clickable, but as always, you can often click almost anywhere on the map to view more details, even if it’s not directly on a building.

⚫ Golf Cart Routes
Select Golf Cart Routes from the app drop-down menu.

The right panel shows the app name, followed by an overview of the app, relevant links to more information, and a the Map Legend, called Golf Cart Routes.
The left panel doesn’t have any app-specific lists or filters. The general map search option is there.

As usual, you can zoom in and click on any building for access to standard map features.

Click on the home icon at any time to reset the map view/zoom level.

Here is a shot, showing an instance of all 3 Golf Cart Route types, defined by the legend.

⚫ Lead Mitigation
Select Lead Mitigation from the app drop-down menu.

The legend shows testing statuses by building. Check the boxes to show/hide statuses on the map. Click on any building to learn more.

Open the left panel to view Lead Mitigation in a list format.

Click on a listing to bring up the box to view more information. Click on View Data.

Scroll to view the document. Click the white hamburger icon to close out of the document.

You will be taken back to the home page. Click on Map Apps.

Click Lead Mitigation to reopen the app we were just in.

Back in the Lead Mitigation app, select a building from the list again and click on Monitoring Plan.

Scroll to view the document | Click the white hamburger icon to return to Anvil’s home page

⚫ Tree Tour
Select Tree Tour from the app drop-down menu. Tour apps are marked with a diagonal banner on the icon.

The Campus Trees Legend sits below the app description in the right panel. You can look at the map and see which trees fall into each broad category, as labeled in the legend. Click on any tree to bring up more specific information.

Click the arrow on the left of the screen to expand the Tree Tour panel.

When you click on a tree from the Tree Tour tab list, an information box pops up on the map over the tree you selected.
Here, you can read more about the specific type of tree, and click the photo link to view photos.

A window pops up, showing photos of the tree. To view more, click the backward or forward arrows. When finished, click Close at the bottom-right or X at the top-right.

Back in the main map view, click on the home icon to re-center the map at any time.

Click on the target icon on the right to locate where you are on the map. A green dot will show up on the map, and it updates as you move. When you click the target icon again, it turns off and also changes back to green.

Click on the map icon to view a clickable list of other UO Tour maps.

The window that pops up shows a list of other UO Tour map apps. Click on any one to open it.
