How to get a premium map?
Premium maps are created by experts at Flexopus, based on the plans you provide. To get started, please write to support@flexopus.com, attaching a floor plan of your office. Once ready, our colleagues will upload the map to Flexopus for you.
How to edit your map?
Step 1: Open Map Builder
In the Flexopus Administrator panel, navigate to Locations > Floor Plans and click the Edit button next to the floor plan you want to modify. This will allow you to make further changes to the selected floor plan.
On the Floor Plan Settings page, navigate to the Floor Plan Editor tab and click Open Map Editor to begin editing your floor plan.
Step 2: Make changes
The Map Builder application will open your floor plan for editing. In the header panel, you can select the primary tools of the application:
The Pan tool allows you to move your map around without accidentally altering any objects.
The Selection tool lets you select, move, and rotate objects directly on the map. You can also select objects from the list in the left sidebar. Once an object is selected, its properties will appear in the right sidebar, where you can modify the name, position, or form of the object.
You can add additional objects by selecting the Create Object tool. Choose the object type and then select its variant. The available types include:
- Bookable objects: Work station, Meeting room, and Parking spot.
- Static objects: Special object, Furniture, and Text label.
These options allow you to customize your floor plan with both bookable and static elements.
Once you have the correct variant selected, click anywhere on the map to place the new object. Added objects will appear in the list with a green highlight. Now you can modify the object just as you would do with the others.
To delete an object:
- Select the object.
- Click the trash icon in the properties panel or press Del/Backspace on your keyboard.
- Confirm the action in the popup.
You can also select multiple objects and delete them in one action for bulk removal.
Step 3: Save changes
To save your changes, you must Publish them in the Map Builder. Click the Publish button located in the top-right corner to confirm and save your changes.
After publishing, you will be directed back to the Flexopus Administrator Dashboard, where you can review your changes. Only modified bookable objects will be marked, as static objects do not affect the application's behavior. You can visually compare the changes by clicking View Current Map.
Once you have confirmed that all your changes are correct, click Update Map to finalize and save the changes.
Maps are not saved while you are making changes to them in the Map Builder. If you close the application before confirming your changes in the Administrator Dashboard, your changes will be lost.
Troubleshooting and FAQ
Can't delete an object
Objects with active bookings cannot be deleted. To delete an object, you first have to delete all corresponding bookings it may have.
I have closed the Map Builder, are my changes lost?
Unfortunately, yes. Currently, we are not saving any drafts of a map you are editing. We recommend making small, incremental changes, and saving your work regularly.
