ProxiTour CMS is the Content Management System of the application that allows users to manage online, exhibits, routes, floor plans, location of exhibits, etc. Any addition or change made through the ProxiTour CMS is automatically available to all users of the mobile application.
While preparing – editing a new tour or setting up a new museum it is possible to set it “private” – so it will not appear to the users of the mobile application. When the tour or museum is finalized and related tasks are executed, you can set it to “public” so it will automatically appear in the targeted audience on the mobile application. To help assess how a private tour or museum will look like on the end-user, it is possible to view it on the mobile application by logging in with the admin username & password.
