To allow for both simple and detailed data entry, Ginto offers three detail levels. The app shows you exactly which information is still needed to reach your desired level of detail.

   By clicking on "Show details," you get an overview of the available detail levels and the information required for each.
2. 2
   Select your target detail level in the "Overview" tab.

   The yellow fields and dots in the entry forms indicate which information is still required to reach the selected detail level.

You can give an entry a name and add a website.

   Enter the name of the location.
2. 2
   Select whether the website starts with http:// or https://.

Type in the address of the entry or find it on the map.

All key information at a glance: on the overview page, you can enter the address, category, and any special offers.

1. 1
   Enter the location's address. If there is no address, you can manually place a pin on the map.
2. 2
   As a business, you can mark an entry as "Verified by business" once it is complete. To do this, create an organization by clicking on "Do you operate this location?"
3. 3
   If a location is only available for a limited time, such as a pop-up restaurant or an event fan zone, you can specify the relevant timeframe under "Validity period."
4. 4
   Select the category that best fits the location. Based on this, Ginto will provide relevant suggestions for recording areas and accessibility criteria.

When recording temporary facilities such as toilets or exhibition stands at events, you can set the start and end dates.

   Click on "Validity period" in the "Overview" tab.
2. 2
   Turn on the switch for the limited time period.

Images are a great way to help people visualize the location. With Ginto, you can add photos of specific areas, paths, or features to describe them even more effectively.

1. 1
   Click on "Add image".
2. 2
   You can now either take a photo directly with your camera or upload one from your gallery. Please note: images taken directly within the app are not automatically saved to your device's gallery and cannot be reused later.
3. 3
   Use the three white dots on the image to set it as the cover photo or delete it.

With Ginto, you can record important accessibility information for various areas (rooms) of a location.

1. 1
   Depending on the selected category of the location (e.g., "Hotel"), Ginto suggests typical areas such as restrooms, the lobby, or hotel rooms.
2. 2
   If you would like to add more areas, click on the corresponding suggestion below the pre-selection or click "Add area" at the very bottom.
3. 3
   Now, record the accessibility information for each area by clicking on the respective area and entering the details requested by Ginto.
4. 4
   Using the three dots in the top right corner, you can delete an area, rename it, or add a sub-area.

With Ginto, you can record important accessibility information for paths between different areas. Along a path, you can record features such as stairs, elevators, and doors. This information helps Ginto users identify in advance which areas are accessible to them.

1. 1
   Paths can be recorded via the "Paths" menu selection. Ginto will provide initial suggestions. Add any additional required paths manually by clicking "Add path."
2. 2
   Select the start and end points for each path.
3. 3
   Click on the newly created path and then on "Add path segment." Here, you can add each path element along the route from start to end individually. Make sure not to omit any path elements.
4. 4
   Record the details for each path element according to the specifications in Ginto. Any remaining required criteria are highlighted in yellow in the app. Click "Add" to save your entries.
5. 5
   Under "Further information," you can add details that are relevant to the entire path.

Recurring path elements, such as a staircase or an elevator, can be recorded once and then reused for multiple paths.

1. 1
   First, create a path and then add individual path segments according to the "Recording paths" instructions.
2. 2
   If you want to use a single path element, such as a staircase, in another path as well, first click on the corresponding path and then on "Add path segment". If a path element has already been recorded, the grey box "Element already recorded?" will appear at the top. Click on "Link here" and select the already recorded path element. Check whether this is the identical path element. Click on "Apply".
3. 3
   If you change the properties of a path element, such as the width of an elevator, these changes are automatically applied to the other paths with which this path element is linked.
4. 4
   Complete the recording of the paths by either adding new path segments or linking existing path elements.

This feature is designed for businesses that want to set the accessibility status of their location to "Verified by business" (see the "Setting the verification status" guide). It also makes it easier for businesses with multiple locations to centrally view and manage the status of their entries on Ginto.

1. 1
   In the "Overview" menu, click on "Business: Do you operate this location?".
2. 2
   Click on "Create new organization". Enter the name of the organization that operates this location. The organization name can be the same as the Ginto entry name if the location and the business are the same. If a parent company manages the operation, they may have different names, for example, "Fred Tschanz AG" (organization) and "Fred Hotel Zürich Hauptbahnhof" (location).
3. 3
   This organization will now appear in the menu under your username. If a yellow dot is displayed, it means that either an entry for your organization is incomplete or the "Verified by business" status has not yet been assigned. Click on "assigned entries" and select the entry you wish to verify.
4. 4
   Individual locations can be removed from an organization at any time. To do this, click on "Business" and select "Remove assignment". If you would like to delete an organization entirely or remove it from your menu, please contact support@ginto.guide.

With Ginto, you can record aids or obstacles in a structured and objective way. The app shows you exactly what information needs to be captured. You can find further guidance on recording in the grey info box.

Ginto thrives on information. That is why it is important that this data is regularly updated and verified. Businesses can review the information recorded for a location and assign the verification status "Verified by business".

1. 1
   Create an organization by following the instructions in "Assigning an entry to a business".
2. 2
   Select the relevant organization from the menu and click on "assigned entries". Choose the entry you wish to verify.
3. 3
   Check the information for completeness and accuracy. Then, click "Mark as verified". The entry will now have the verification status "Verified by business".
4. 4
   As soon as someone outside your business edits the entry, the verification status expires. You will be automatically notified as the business and prompted to review the information and re-assign the verification status.

Whenever possible, Ginto checks your entries to ensure they make sense. This helps prevent the input of completely incorrect values, such as entering a length in millimeters instead of meters. If a value seems unrealistic, the app will suggest appropriate alternatives.

When you enter accessibility information into Ginto, the grey infobox displays relevant guidance. This explains exactly what information should be recorded.

Ginto automatically adapts to your input, so you only need to enter the relevant information. For example, if you select the availability of grab rails when adding a restroom, Ginto will automatically ask you for further details.
