To further assist the employees in your office, you can enable Extras. Extras allow you to quickly link to webpages or send out an email with a click of a button. Do you have an event that requires lunch? Create an extras link to your caterer. Are your facilities dirty or broken, add an email address so that your employees can quickly reach out to facility teams informing them from this.

Configure an extra
Follow the steps below to configure an Extras. In this example we will add a Workday extras note that these steps are identical for adding Event- or General extras.

- Press Save and your extra is live.
Description character limits
Be aware of the description character limit. The description field can hold a description of 65 characters. Note that for the URL there are no character restrictions.
URL errors
When filling in the URL text box the content is validated. It needs to be in a URL format. For links to websites this means either https:// or http:// is needed. When you want to send an email, add mailto: prior to the email address. The moment Mapiq detects a script being inputted, it will give an error stating that the code might be harmful and it will not be accepted.
Visualization for users
As mentioned, once you save your extras entry, it will be displayed to the users, depending on your workday type it can either pop up on the profile-, event- or day page.
| Profile page | Event page | Day page |
