Locations Admin Tool

The Locations Admin Tool will provide end users with the ability to quickly and easily maintain information regarding locations on campus.  For instance, hours of operation, descriptions, pictures, building coordinators, main phone number, locations within buildings, etc. can be entered, stored, and update via the Location Admin Tool.  This information can then be distributed by the ADN Maps Web Service in an XML format.  Applications such as goMizzou and departmental websites can then consume the XML.

Impact on Sponsors and End Users

The Location tool primarily allows an organization to keep its hours of operation updated in one place and then allow those hours to be used in several places including their own website. This method will help replace paper, PDF, Excel and html hard coding processes. The organizations website can through use of web services have fully updated hours of operation at all times. The location information can also be sent to other applications including GoMizzou to allow students, faculty and staff to check hours of operation on the go.
