Create your first Indoor Mapping campus and add a few buildings and floors to it using the Indoor Mapping Map Studio. Import your CAD and raster image source files to complete your campus configuration.

Create connectors (stairs, elevators, escalators, ramps) and activate the connector type in the View editor. Connector Type contains the style (icon) and properties for each connector.

Create an import group and use it to update floor plans in bulk.

Use an Excel template to provide information about your campuses, buildings, and floors.

Draw a polyline, polygon, or a geometrical shape using the Draw line tool available in the CAD Editor. Join lines to form a polygon or a shape.

Modify the unit file settings of your CAD source file.

Configure Places using the Map Configuration preview layout. Retrieve place types from the CAD file.

Edit and customize indoor maps with the Map Studio view editor. Enabling the default view in Indoor Mapping is a mandatory step so that maps can render in Workplace Service Delivery.

Close an unclosed line in a layer on the CAD editor.

Edit block attributes in CAD Editor.

The CAD Editor tab provides editing and drawing tools to configure, optimize, and edit your CAD files before importing it to the Map Studio.

Configure and import your CAD source file to Map Studio.

CMN Locations types are not available by default in the Indoor Mapping Place types table. Associate or map an existing CMN Location type in your instance with a corresponding CMN Location Type column in the Indoor Mapping Place Types table. When CMN Location types are not available, create a CMN location type to associate it with a Indoor Mapping Place type.

To synchronize CMN Location types with Indoor Mapping, enable the system property sn_map_core.cmn_location_sync_enabled.

Directions are used to compute routes from point A to point B on the map. Map administrators can manually draw lines on the floor map areas where people are allowed to walk within a building. This cannot be automated and has to be done manually.

You can define the behavior of sync operations by configuring the Enhanced Sync properties.

Export the updated CAD changes to your CAD file. Exporting the updated changes creates a copy of the modified CAD file in Indoor Mapping.

Georeference and position your source floor plan on the map to scale it.

After your CAD configuration is complete, import the CAD configuration changes.

You can specify details about the import group and select users who must be notified of the import progress.

Import outdoor elements that you want to display on the indoor map. This can be a graphic element such as a logo or a an outdoor parking lot with parking spaces that needs to be created as Places.

After creating your campus, buildings, and floor, upload and import the raster floor plan sources.

Indoor maps objects and data can be synchronized with Workplace Service Delivery and can be used for reservation management, case management, move management, and within the location directory for wayfinding.

Key terms used in Indoor Mapping.

Customize and render map components and objects by updating the Indoor Mapping properties.

Find reference information for Indoor Mapping, including common terminology, installed roles, tables, and scheduled jobs, sync properties, bulk upload and import fields, map printing options, and troubleshooting guidance for common issues.

Indoor Mapping Map Studio provides building visualization and wayfinding capabilities to workplace users within a campus, building, floor, and work spaces. Indoor Mapping Map Studio is the interface where you visualize and design your maps to create digitalized interactive locations within workplaces and buildings.

Install the Indoor Mapping application (sn_map_core) with dependent plugins.If the application does NOT include demo data or it does NOT install related applications and plugins, delete or revise the following sentence:

CAD editor provides the ability to isolate a layer from multiple layers while editing your CAD file.

The keyboard shortcuts provided with Indoor Mapping allow Map Studio administrators to quickly perform common administrative tasks by using keys in the Map Studio.

Manage your CAD source files using the Autocad import tool in Indoor Mapping v1.8.0.

Edit campus and buildings to add places, icons, and place types that you want to display on the indoor maps.

Manage objects and elements in your CAD file using the Map Configuration tab.

Review pending sync operations and decide whether to process or ignore the operation.

Manage CAD layers, places, text, block, layer types, and place types using the Map Configuration preview layout.

Configure Indoor Mapping to update role-based access for map administrators, map editors and the map editor limited roles.

Use theMap Preview to display maps and test directions that you have created in the Indoor Mapping Map Studio. Testing directions will ensure that directions graphs in wayfinding works as expected for employees and visitors.

The map printing options provide configurations for the page format, font, icons, collision, legend, and timestamps.

To manage places and place types in Indoor Mapping Map Studio, start with creating icons for places, and then create a place type.

Print a map by configuring relevant options and applying filters.

Raster files are flat files and therefore, design and places have to be manually created. Raster floor plan files must meet the Map Studio import requirements.

Hide or display a layer while you’re editing and updating layers in the CAD Editor.

Few Indoor Mapping and Workplace Indoor Mapping tables are impacted during the snapshot process when the Indoor Mapping backup data is migrated to Workplace Service Delivery instances.

Create snapshots for taking point-in-time backups of your Indoor Mapping map data and objects and migrate the snapshots to Workplace Service Delivery instances.

Create a new CMN Location or synchronize an existing CMN Location with a corresponding Indoor Mapping Place type.

Synchronize the CMN Locations and Location place types with Indoor Mapping map data, places, and place types.

Synchronize Indoor Mapping locations and map data objects with Workplace Service Delivery campus, buildings, floors, and spaces.

After cloning an Indoor Mapping source instance to a target instance, workplace administrators may observe missing attachments and data discrepancies in their target instance.
