Create a floor plan image

The Maps feature use the very latest software, designed to make it easy and intuivite for users to explore their offices. We recommend these guide lines for map images:

• Floor plans need to be in JPEG or PNG image formats.
• We recommend resolutions between HD(1920x1080) to 4K (3840 x 2160) for optimum viewing. 
• Make sure there is sufficient contrast between rooms/desks and map markers.

Add floor plan maps

Follow the steps below to add your floor plan images to their respective floor.

1. Go to"Manage -> Maps" in the main menu.
2. Press the Workspaces hierarchy to find and select the floor you want to add a map for.
   
3. Press the "Add map" button to open the upload floorplan widget. Either drag & drop files, or press "Browse" to add from file directory.   
4. Once an image is selected and uploaded, press "Update" to load it or the pencil icon to crop if this is needed.
5. Select the items list in the right column to add items to the map. Press to add markers or shapes to the map which can then be moved by click and drag to their position.
   • Note: If there are existing markers, you must remove them before adding a shape.
     
6. For shapes you can select between:
   • Polygon - create a custom shape to match rooms with multiple walls or irregular layouts.
   • Rectangle - add a rectangular shape.
   • Circle - add a circular shape.
     
7. Edit the map and its items by clicking either the "Map settings" button, an item on the map, or the map cogwheel icon.
   • Settings – opens the settings page for the selected item.
   • Map artwork passthrough (%) – sets the opacity of the map artwork.
   • Snap elements to grid – enables snapping of items vertically or horizontally to help with alignment.
   • Show room name labels – toggles room name labels on or off. The “Use max-contrast labels” setting increases contrast for better visibility of room name labels.

   • Hide markers for shapes – hides room markers for shapes.

     

Adjust room name labels

When configuring an Interactive Map, label placement can be adjusted per room to improve readability in dense layouts.

By default, room labels are center-aligned. In floor plans with many adjacent rooms, labels may then overlap. The label alignment setting allows to reposition labels individually to improve clarity for end-users.

When label alignment applies:

The label alignment setting is only applied for rooms with Shapes. If a room is using:

• Marker only
• Shapes + Markers

The alignment setting is ignored, and labels follow the default placement below the marker.

Adjust label alignment for a room:

1. Click on the room name in the right hand side column.
2. Select one of the following:
   • Top
   • Center (default)
   • Center – rotated 45°
   • Bottom
3. The label position updates immediately in the map preview after selection. No separate save action is required. Note! If you have a Wayfinder press the "Push map updates" button to make sure it's updated.
