Adding User Data
Adding User Data is a crucial step in the workflow, especially for organization. Information added here, like Title, Description, and Copyright can be used in the skin and the HTML template.
User Data is also known as metadata. It’s used to provide information about the
current image or node. When building skin elements like a hotspot popup with a
title or tooltip, this is where the text is coming from. Each input field in
the User Data can be imported in to the skin using
Placeholders. Hover over the
text fields to see the placeholder hints.

the Properties panel. -

button to the right of each field.✭ If you need more space to type, click the pencil icon to open a larger text

User Data in Pano2VR and on output -
Give each node a custom ID. (optional)
Each node can have a unique ID like, kitchen, bedroom, entrance. These
IDs can then be used in the URL:
http://www.example.com/my-house/kitchen.htmlusing
Direct Node Access. This URL will
direct the user to the node with the ID, kitchen. If no custom ID is given,
the default will be node01, etc., depending on it’s initial location in the
tour browser. -
Add Tags.
Tags are tools for organization. Add as many tags as needed to the node. You
can then filter the tags in the Tour Browser or use them in the Skin Editor.
Add Custom Properties
Custom properties give you extra fields or properties that can be targeted by
the skin.
When a skin opens from the Web Output, the custom properties will be added to
the skin as variables.
