3. Navigating your Guide
You’ve downloaded the Guidebook app and the guide to your event – awesome! Now, it’s time to dive into the fun part: exploring your guide.
General Navigation and Searching:
- For iOS devices: Swipe the screen from right to left to access additional pages of icons and content. If there are no more pages, swiping will have no effect. Swipe from left to right to access prior pages, and swipe your page from top to bottom (for Guidebook versions 3.2+. For versions <3.2, continue swiping left to right) to view the global search feature (type in any word or phrase to search for it within the Guidebook app). Tap any icon to access the content within.
- For Android: Tap the icon in the top left of your screen to access the content drawer. Scroll down to see all guide icons and content. Tap any icon to access the content within or touch the icon once more to hide the drawer. The content drawer is accessible at any time by tapping this icon in the top left of your screen. The Android search functionality largely depends on the device’s native hardware buttons:
– For devices that have a hardware “search” button (typically a magnifying glass icon), simply tap this button while in the app to perform a search
– For devices lacking a “search” button, but containing a “Menu” button, just tap the “Menu” icon to load the contextual menu. Here, select “Search Guide” to perform a search
– For devices with neither of the above, tap on the contextual menu button on the top right-hand side of the screen (looks like three squares stacked vertically), then tap the “Search Guide” option to do a search
- All other devices: Scroll down to view the icons and content within the guide. Tap on any icon to load its details! Use the web browser’s built-in back button to navigate back within a guide, and use the built-in “Find” function to search for any information on page. Unfortunately, the m.guidebook.com version offers limited search functionality compared to the native application.
