Projects

You may want to associate multiple sets of content to the same beacons. e.g. different information for public, teachers and students visiting a museum. Having ‘projects’ enables you do this.

Places

A place is normally one beacon e.g. ‘Exhibit A’ in a museum. however, you may want to link multiple places to one beacon e.g. one beacon in a room for exhibits A, B and C. having ‘places’ enables you do this.

CardsContent in locly is displayed as cards, which are like pages in a book that can be pinned to a place. You can have multiple cards on each place.
