Rich text editor and translations

Rich text editor

You can take advantage of our versatile rich text editor in many different aspects of the app. It allows you to add text with styling, headings, lists, maps, itineraries and videos.

You can use the rich text editor in the following places:

Catalogue items (which are displayed in the Checklists and Yacht Manual)
Base Descriptions
Yacht Descriptions
Booking Descriptions

Below the different features of the Rich text editor explained in more detail.

Video embeds

To add videos to your text, click the video icon (left of the map icon). The embed editor will show up, where you can add the url to your video.

Using the Google Maps Editors

Adding a Google Maps Location or a Google Maps Route to any rich text editor in Floatist is as simple as selecting the maps icon in the editor. Then select one of the three options:

Add location: For a Google Maps Location
Add my map: For a Google Maps Route
Add charter itinerary: For adding a itinerary created using Charter Itinerary

Google Maps Location

To add a location, simply type the location as you would in Google Maps. You can also use coordinates. You can choose the type of map you want to display: map or sattelite.

Routes and Itinerary embed

In order to add onw of your own maps from Google, you need to create a map first, which you can do on https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/.
After creation, click share, and select Anyone with this link can view.
You then need to copy the MID, which is the id for the map. You can find the id either in the browser bar (highlighted in below image) and in the copied link, it’s everything after mid= and before &
Copy the MID in the map editor, and voila!

Internationalization

All our apps are fully translated into multiple languages.

Moreover, most of the text fields and descriptions that are visible by guests have the option of being automatically translated from English.

If you are unhappy with the automatic translations and you want to improve the automatic translations, you can also choose to first translate them, and then toggle the switch off again. The made translations will be kept, and you can manually adjust them as you see fit.

If you want to use automatic translations, you can toggle the Auto-translate from English button on, and after you save the item it will be translated. If you want to toggle it on for all your items at once, please contact support and we will do that for you.

Automatic translations are available for the following functionalities:

Base descriptions
Yacht descriptions
Booking descriptions
Catalogue items (which are used for checklists and yacht manuals)

Descriptions

Descriptions allow you to personalize the guest experience by adding rich text content to your bases, yachts, and individual bookings. These descriptions are displayed in the guest app.

Yacht descriptions

We recommend always adding a yacht description. You can go to the yacht description by clicking on Yacht > Click Edit > Scroll down to Description.

Yacht descriptions are shown in the guest app on the Yacht page:

Base descriptions

Add descriptions to your bases with text, a Google Maps location, or any additional information guests should know before check-in day. This replaces the PDF you might usually send, giving customers a single place to find all the important details about your base.

To edit a base description, go to Settings > Bases. Click on the three dots on the rightmost side of the row and select Edit.

Base descriptions are shown on the Home page of the guest app:

Booking descriptions

For an extra personalized touch, you can add a description to a specific booking. This shows up above the base information on the guest app home page.

To add a description to a booking, go to the Booking, click the Three dots on the top right > Edit > Scroll down to Description.

The booking description will then be displayed on the guest app home page:
