faq:
  - question: What is digital wayfinding signage?
    answer: Digital wayfinding uses screens to show directories, directions, and maps that guide visitors through a space. It's centrally managed so the directory is always current, and it updates across every screen at once when your layout changes.
  - question: Can I update directions when our layout changes?
    answer: Yes. Update the directory or map once in Loopvew and every wayfinding screen reflects the change, so signage never falls out of date.
  - question: Does wayfinding work across multiple buildings?
    answer: Yes. Group screens by building or floor and show the right directory in each location while managing them all from one dashboard.
  - question: Can wayfinding screens be interactive?
    answer: Yes. On touch displays, visitors can search and browse a directory themselves, which is ideal for large facilities and campuses.
  - question: Can I show temporary event directions?
    answer: Yes. Add event-specific directions and routing on a schedule, and they retire automatically when the event ends.
  - question: Does wayfinding work offline?
    answer: Yes. Each screen caches its content locally, so directories keep playing through network interruptions and resync automatically.
  - question: What hardware does wayfinding need?
    answer: Loopvew runs on lobby displays, kiosks, and corridor screens — most buildings can use the displays they already have, plus touchscreens for interactive kiosks.
  - question: Where is digital wayfinding most useful?
    answer: Hospitals, campuses, large offices, and venues — anywhere visitors get lost or staff spend time giving directions. It reduces confusion and frees up front-of-house teams.

## Nobody lost, nobody interrupted

Loopvew guides visitors through your space with directories and maps that stay current — updated centrally, shown on every screen, and grouped by building or floor so each location shows what's relevant.

## Static signs can't keep up

Buildings change — tenants move, departments relocate, events reroute traffic. Digital wayfinding updates once and reflects everywhere, so the directory is never wrong the week after a re-layout.

## Self-serve at the decision points

Put the directory where people arrive and the guidance where they get lost — lobbies, elevators, corridors, and junctions. Interactive kiosks let visitors search for themselves, freeing front-of-house staff from the same questions all day.

## From one lobby to a whole campus

Start with the entrance directory that serves everyone, then extend to floors, corridors, and interactive kiosks. A single building and a multi-site campus use the same workflow — pair, publish, and target by location.
