To access Map Editor you need to have an Admin or Manager rights.

In Administration section go to: Building Management > Floors > choose a floor in which you want to make a changes > ••• on a right side > Edit

Now you have opened a Map editor of the current floor.


The map editing process is made in a four steps. That goes continuously and guide in a first setup of the floor. Then you can skip the steps and navigate freely to the required customization.

1. Floorplan

The floorplan layout of your building is basically a customized png file with a transparent background.

IMPORTANT: The floorplan needs to be uploaded in PNG file with a transparent or white background. The recommended dpi is 300, and the Max. resolution is 5000x5000px.


Upload a floorplan of the floor and by a transform tool place it on a preferred position on a building layout.

Resize and spin the floorplan until you will be satisfied with the location that mostly confirm position na real life.

TIP: Use a shift key during a resizing an image to keep ratio.


2. Walls

Let's choose a draw a walls tool and circle a floorplan. This step is important to choose and locate a position of the offices and area that we will be using for Spaceti Solution.

3. Spaces

At this step we can create and customize the spaces that we are using for booking and for analytics.

TIP: You can use keyboard shortcuts to work faster!
​
​"S" - Select & Transform
​"W" - Draw a wall/line
​"I" - Inspect (only for spaces)
​"M" - Place a marker
​"B" - Place a beacon (only for sensors)

  1. How to create a space
    At the left menu bar choose a tool Create Space. Your point on the map changes to the green color any by a clicking on the map you are able to define a required location of the new space.

    The space is created successfully only with a successful connection of the first point.

    When the space is created a form with a space information is automatically opened.


    Functionality "Copy-paste"

    Because we can have more than one place and their shape can be repeated, such as tables. We have the option to use the function of copying spaces.
    ​
    Use the function Select and Transform (S) > Spaces and select the space you want to duplicate.
    ​


    After selection, use the copy space for MacOS Command+C for copying and Command+V for duplicating the space. For Windows devices (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V).
    ​


    ​IMPORTANT: The duplicate also contains all information such as the name, type of space, and inclusion in groups.
    ​



    Editing a space via Spaces tab

    There is two options how to change setting of the spaces. As a first option you can access Facilities>Spaces and the edit the space.
    ​

    Editing a space via Map Editor

    You can change edit spaces also in the Map editor after you created them.

    1. Change the settings - click on a tool Inspect (I) and the click on a desired space.


      You can change the Space type, name, Space groups assign, capacity etc..
      ​


      ​

    2. Transform/move the space - by click on a tool Select and Transform (S) and choosing option Space.
      You are able to move and transform the space.

      4. Graph

      Deployment process is easy from this panel. It is enough to click “Place device” button in the top left corner (or use B button on the keyboard as shortcut).
      ​


      ​
      Then it is enough to zoom in to the specific place on the map and with red cursor choose position of the sensor, click with the left mouse button. Following window will open for you to input name and serial number of device:

  • Stone name – can be any meaningful information about device placement

  • Height above ground – optional field, not required in almost all cases, leave 0 there

  • Serial number – input serial number of sensor or gateway here as you see it on the casing


    ​TIP: it’s helpful to use USB QR reader device to scan QR code on device label (which contains serial number) (e.g. Honeywell Xenon 1900).
    ​



    Get information about sensor or gateway

    To get more information about specific sensor installed there is special Inspect tool. This tool can also allow you to change custom stone name.
    ​


    ​

    Move or delete sensor or gateway

    If you need to change position of the device in the system, you can use special Select and Transform tool. It allows you to select specific device and then move it with you mouse or delete with DEL button on your keyboard.

    In order to use this tool press “Select & transform” button and then select “Beacons” as shown on the screenshot below.
