Once logged into Endeavor on the dashboard, click onto the Venues option on the menu displayed on the left hand display bar.
Then click Venue Mapping
Once the options have loaded click on 3rd Party Mapping
Then click on the MIA Logo
Now you will be on the homepage of the MIA Mapping Tool. The coloured boxes at the top of the page will display information regarding the mapping tool.
The green box will display when the tool has last been synced. This tool syncs with MEC and a Regus API.
The blue box displays how many venues have been mapped.
The orange box displays how many venues are left to map.
The red box shows many venues that have already been mapped but have issues.
Health Check
The first tab shows venues in various categories which need to be checked within MEC. The tool will have synced with the MIA API and these are any differences that we have between the two systems.
Mapped venues with group mismatch
The venues listed within this category are venues that the MIA are now telling us need to be looked at in terms of their accreditations. These venues will then need to be updated within MEC. The next step is open up MEC and update the venue accreditations if necessary.
You will then need to go the Brands & Affiliations tab where you can amend any branding, affiliations or accreditations for that venue.
Then you will need to click on Affiliation/Association tab.
On this tab you are able to add/amend any affiliations for that venue.
Mapped Venue
The mapped venue tab shows all venues that have been successfully mapped using the MIA mapping tool. If you want to search for a venue to check if it has been mapped you can do this by using the Filter field and typing in the venue name.
This will display the results of your search.
If you wish to unmap any of the venues this can be done by clicking on Remove Match.
New Venues
The last tab in the mapping tool is New Venues. On this tab you will be able to see a list of MIA venues waiting to be mapped.
On this tab you will be able to see any venues & any potential matches that the venues can be mapped too.
On the left hand side is the third party data provided by the MIA.
On the right hand side is any potential matches using data already in our system. The potential matches will be shown either by; Postcode Match, Name Match or Address Match. If any of these are highlighted green then the system is saying that this is a match.
Once the venue has been successfully mapped it will appear like this.
The page will then need to be refreshed and the venue will remove itself from this list and the number of unmapped venues will reduce.
Regus have a different business arrangement with venuedirectory.com where they pay commission on bookings rather than an annual subscription fee.
If you have to add/ amend/reactivate a Regus venue for any reason please ensure the following:
1) The venue should be a full listing. The subscription cost should be £0.00 with the dates going out a year. Please note you will not have a subscription form.
2) The sales contact and Subscription contact is Graham Bintcliffe
3) The private notes should read "REGUS UPGRADE FREE OF CHARGE AS PER COMMISSION AGREEMENT"
4) The venue should be put in the "Regus UK & MWB Business Exchange" Ownership
5) You should try and upload as many images as possible but at the very least 2, 1 external and 1 meeting space.
6) Facilities and Rooms should also be completed
