What are the basic steps?
This quick guide assumes you are a registered Green Mapmaker and are already at the Open Green Map section of the website.

1. Login on the upper right, using the same username and password as at GreenMap.org (or, simply login if you are a Team Leader)
2. On the top menu, hover over My OGM and click My maps’. Then click the Open Green Map you want to add to, then click ‘Add site’. (see below to Add a new map)
3. Enter information
4. Submit – before you click submit nothing will be saved!

How can I manage my account?
You can manage all your Open Green Maps in the ‘My OGM’ link located at the top of the screen.

Under roles on the Open Green Map platform, Mapmakers are called Team Leaders. When logged in, each map’s map Team Member list is accessed from a tab over the map. Later, more team organization tools will be added here.

The Mapmaker can invite a Coordinator(s) or Team Members to help create and manage each OGM map. Both can add new sites that will appear instantly, with their username on the bottom of each site.

The Coordinator has additional permissions so they can help manage the project. Coordinators can edit any of the sites on the map, invite team members and make widgets.

If you seek help, on the Map form, enable requests under Building Your Map Team (access by clicking Edit above your map).

How can I add a Green Map to the Open Green Map?
Only Registered Mapmakers (Team Leaders) can create a new Green Map. Log in and on the top right side of the screen under My OGM click ‘Create content’, then select ‘Green Map’. Fill in the information in the fields provided. You can edit and change this information later.

Remember: Click Submit to save your new Green Map!

How do I add a Green Site to a Green Map?
First you need to search for the Open Green Map that you want to contribute. Click the Add a Site tab, located on top of every map. Then, fill out some basic information about the site (* = mandatory)…

Name of site *: Provide the name of your Green Site (sites can have the same name).

Primary Icon *: You have to pick an icon. This icon will be the one showing up on the map, so pick the one most true to your site.

Secondary Icon (Optional): The icon will show up inside the info-window, when someone clicks on the site icon. A maximum of 6 icons is allowed (with 6 icons it may look a little cluttered – it is up to you to judge).

Details *: The information entered here will show up in the second large info-window (shown when the user clicks on the plus sign in the first small info-window). You can put any text in here - description of the site, opening hours, etc. Remember that the first 100 words are the most important, so avoid lengthy descriptions, or break it up in paragraphs!

Maps: This is an important step to remember! If your Mapmaking team has more than one Green Map on the OGM, they will be listed here. Regardless of having one or more maps, you will need to check the box to which map the site should belong (or both or all, if applicable). You also need to decide whether this site should be public yet or not. If your Open Green Map is not yet public, you may as well check ‘Public’ and the site will only be public when the map goes public.

Private map: Check this box when your map is under construction or you don’t want the map to be public yet.

What is the link to my Green Map profile?
The link (to your Green Map profile on GreenMap.org) you want to put in here, is the link that any user would see in the browser if they went to the GreenMap.org website and clicked on your ‘leaf’ on the map showing all the world’s Green Maps. You can, for example, add your own website URL in the subtitle field.

How do I use the Green Map® Icons?
Choose which Green Map® Icons can be used on this Green Map. These are the icons that will only appear on your map and its legend. You can always go back and add more or take out the ones you did not use. The fewer icons you use, the fewer will be listed in the legend.
