What is a post?

A "Post" in OuterSpatial is a piece of content (some text and/or a photo) that's attached to a feature (an Area, Point of Interest, Outing, or Trail) or directly to an Organization. Your Organization has been able to create posts via OuterSpatial Manager's "Social" section for quite some time. With the recent addition of the "Add a Post" and "Add a Photo" tools to OuterSpatial Mobile, visitors can now create posts, as well.

Where can you view posts?

You can access posts created by your Organization and posts created by your visitors in two different places: Manager's "Social" section and the "Social" tabs in OuterSpatial Mobile.

Within Manager, you'll see posts that were either created by your Organization in Manager or created by Visitors in OuterSpatial Mobile and "attached" to an Area, Point of Interest, Outing, or Trail that your Organization stewards.

You can use tools in both places to like/unlike and comment on a post. You can also edit and delete both your Organization's posts and visitor-submitted posts from within OuterSpatial Manager — though please only "curate" visitor-submitted posts in rare cases.

Future Plans

We have big plans for posts! In the future, users will be able to use the new posts functionality to do things like "Check-in" to a location and "Report a Hazard". So stay tuned!
