Floors

The buildings, floors, and objects are orchestrated in a hierarchical structure in Flexopus. In this article, we explain how the floor abstraction level works and showcase the settings of the floors.

Overview

If you open a floor Dashboard > Locations > Floor plans, you can see the floor plan, which is the most important entity in the application. An object like work stations, meeting rooms and parking spots can be placed on them.

We support two type of floor plans: Basic maps and Premium maps. The basic map is an image, where we place a clickable overlay object on the top of the image. Premium maps are high quality SVG maps with a modern and cleaner design created by the Flexopus map team. We recommend using the Permium maps. You can find more information about the map types here:

You can set two main parameters for a floor, which is the name and the code of the floor. The code is limited to a 3 character identifier, which we recommend naming similar to the floor names you can see in an elevator: P1, P2, P-1, P-2 EG, OG1, OG2, F1, F2, 1, 2, DG. Most importantly, keep the naming convention of the codes simple and consistent in your application in case you have multiple buildings.

In the floor plan editor tab, you have two ways to edit the map. You can edit the layout of the map with the map builder, or you can click on the objects and edit the attributes of the objects.

Add floor

Navigate to the Dashboard > Locations > Buildings tab as an administrator and select the building you wish to use for the new floor. On the floor plans tab you can find the button Create floor plan. Enter the name and code of the new floor. Once you created the floor, it will have the same timezone as the associated building.

After the floor is created, a floor plan needs to be uploaded: basic map or advanced map. After the floor plan is uploaded to the floor, you need to publish it. Make sure that the associated building is also published, otherwise the users can not see the floor!

Delete floor

Deleting a floor is recommended to be done in two steps. First unpublish the floor in order to hide it from the users. This can be done by opening the floor and navigating to the general settings tab. You can only unpublish the floor if all the associated objects on the floor do not have upcoming reservations. Therefor, please delete the upcoming reservations first. Secondly, once the floor is unpublished, you can delete the floor. Deleted floors can not be restored.
