To successfully use GuestPass, you'll need to configure the following items:
Google Maps API Key
House Rules
Local Attractions
Administrator Settings and theme
Please note, from the administrator settings, permissions can be set to disable the House Rules and Local Attractions. If these will be disabled, there is no need to configure these in CiiRUS. If they are not disabled, and are left blank, it will appear to guests as if information is missing.
