How to edit your map?

Step 1: Open Map Builder

On the Flexopus Administrator panel, navigate to Locations > Floor plans and click the edit button next to your selected floor plan.

Select floor plan in Flexopus

On the floor plan settings page, click Open Map Editor on the Floor plan editor tab.

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:

Base tools in the header

With the Pan tool you can move your map around safely without making unwanted changes to the objects.

Use the Selection tool to select, move, and rotate objects directly on the map. You can also select objects from the list in the left sidebar. The properties of the selected objects appear on the right sidebar of the application. Change the name, position, or form of the object here.

Selection tool and object attributes

You can add further objects by selecting the Create object tool. Select the type and then the variant of the object that you want to add. Work station, Meeting room, and Parking spot are bookable object types, while Special object, Furniture, and Text label are static types.

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.

Edit new object

To delete an object, select it, and click the trash icon in the properties panel, or hit Del/Backspace. Confirm the action in the popup. You can also select multiple objects and delete them with one action.

You can not delete bookable objects that have active reservations. To delete them, first, you have to cancel all the corresponding bookings in the Flexopus application.
