Uploading a drawing
You need the Edit sites and calendars permission to upload, mark or retire plans. Anyone who can see the site can read them.- Under The next drawing is of, choose what the drawing shows: The whole site, or one location from the site’s tree (listed by path, such as
COL-01/BLD-B/BLD-B-GF). The scan button beside the list takes a building’s or a floor’s label instead. - Click Upload a drawing and pick a PNG, JPEG or WEBP image.
A site can hold several plans — a ground floor, a first floor, a yard. They appear as a row of chips above the drawing; click one to open it, and drag the chips into the order you want. An upload that has not finished, or that the virus scan has not yet cleared, cannot be marked until it can be served.
Marking areas
With a plan open, a set of mode buttons sits above it:
Reading and drawing are separate modes, so opening a plan never moves an area by accident. Press Escape to cancel a shape you are drawing.
When you finish a shape, the product asks What is this area? (or What is this rectangle?):
Mark it saves the area. Clicking an area in Read mode shows what is linked, its worst health score, and Open the asset (for an asset) or Unmark to remove the area.
What the colours mean
Each area is coloured by the worst signal currently true of what is linked to it. A legend above the drawing counts how many areas are in each colour.
Colours refresh on their own about once a minute, because they describe a live condition rather than a property of the drawing.
Changing the rule
What the colours mean opens the rule. Which signals count as needing attention and which as worth watching is your organisation’s judgement — a hospital’s generator with one open job is not a warehouse’s third forklift with one open job. For each signal, choose Attention, Watch or Ignore:
The rule also shows the health thresholds (by default, below 50 needs attention and below 75 is worth watching). Save the rule applies it to every floor plan in the organisation, so it needs Edit configuration entries.
Indoor location
Where your organisation uses indoor location — Bluetooth tags on assets, heard by gateways mounted around a building — a floor plan is also where tagged assets are found. The BLE tags register, where tags are registered and fitted, is described under BLE tags.If you don’t see the Locating button, your administrator can switch Indoor location on under Administration → Modules, or it may not be included in your plan. Seeing it needs View locating plans, their walls and gateways.
Setting a drawing up for locating
With a plan open, Locating (beside the mode buttons, titled “Set this drawing up for locating tagged assets”) swaps the drawing for its locating setup. A status at the top says how far it has got — Needs a scale, Needs gateways or Ready to locate — and the setup is three steps, each a button you can return to:
Each gateway shows whether it is Heard, Silent or Off. Starting the setup on a drawing
needs Set up a floor plan for indoor location; drawing walls, setting the scale and placing
gateways needs Set a floor plan’s scale, draw its walls and place gateways on it.
The product then works out where each tag is from how loudly the gateways around it hear it, allowing
for the walls between them. When a tagged asset is believed to have moved into a different room, its
location in the register is updated, and the move appears in its movement history like any other.
Where tagged assets are now
In Read mode, a drawing that is set up for locating shows every tag on it as a dot labelled with the asset number, with a shaded area for how sure the position is. Show tags (n) turns the dots on and off, and the legend counts how many are live. A tag that has not been heard lately is drawn faded, labelled with when it was last heard. Point at a dot for the asset’s name and the room it is in. The dots move on their own every few seconds; they are for reading only, so they never get in the way of clicking an area.Replaying where an asset went
Replay (“Replay where an asset went on this floor plan”) draws one asset’s trail on the drawing.
A marker moves along the trail in time. Play / Pause, a scrubber showing When, and
Speed of ×10, ×60 or ×600 control it. Rooms it was in lists each stay — the room, from when to
when and for how long — with Between rooms for time spent in neither. Close returns to the live
dots. The trail is kept for a year unless your organisation sets a different period on the BLE tags
screen.
Retiring a plan
Retire removes a plan from the site after you confirm. The areas marked on it go with it; the image itself stays under the site’s Files.Inside a site
