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 navigate to Dashboard > Locations > Floor plans and open a floor, you can view the floor plan, which is one of the most important entities in the application. Objects such as workstations, meeting rooms, and parking spots can be placed on the floor plan for better management and organization.

We support two types of floor plans: Basic maps and Premium maps.

• Basic maps are simple images with clickable overlay objects placed on top of them.
• Premium maps are high-quality SVG maps with a modern, cleaner design, created by the Flexopus map team. We recommend using Premium maps for better clarity and functionality.

For more information about the map types, refer to this article:

You can set two main parameters for a floor: the name and the code. The floor code is limited to a 3-character identifier, and we recommend naming it similarly to what you'd see in an elevator, such as P1, P2, P-1, P-2, EG, OG1, OG2, F1, F2, 1, 2, DG.

Most importantly, maintain a simple and consistent naming convention for the floor codes, especially if you have multiple buildings in your application. This helps keep everything organized and easy to navigate.

In the Floor Plan Editor tab, there are two ways to edit the map:

1. Edit the layout using the Map Builder.
2. Edit the attributes of individual objects by clicking on them.

Add floor

To add a new floor to a building:

1. As an administrator, navigate to Dashboard > Locations > Buildings and select the building for the new floor.
2. In the Floor Plans tab, click the Create Floor Plan button.
3. Enter the name and code for the new floor. The floor will automatically adopt the timezone of the associated building.
4. Once the floor is created, upload either a basic map or premium map as the floor plan.
5. After uploading the floor plan, publish the floor.

Make sure that the associated building is also published; otherwise, users won't be able to see the floor!

Deleting a floor

Deleting a floor should be done in two steps:

1. Unpublish the floor
   This hides the floor from users. To do this, open the floor and navigate to the General Settings tab. You can only unpublish the floor if none of the associated objects have upcoming reservations. Therefore, make sure to delete any upcoming reservations first.
2. Delete the floor
   Once the floor is unpublished, you can proceed to delete it. Please note that deleted floors cannot be restored.
