Map desks, rooms and parking spaces on a floor layout

Map desks, rooms and parking spaces on a floor layout

The floor layout shows a map of your floor. Use it to place desks, rooms and parking spaces on the map, add new ones, and edit or remove them, so that employees can see where each one is.

Before you start

  • Your role must allow you to update floors, and to update or create the desks, rooms or parking spaces that you place. If a button or icon below is missing, ask a company admin to check your role.
  • Upload a map image of the floor first. See Upload a floor layout.

Availability: if this option is greyed out or missing, contact your Vizmo account manager.

Open the layout

  1. Sign in to the Vizmo portal and select the location.
  2. In the left menu, select Floors, then select the floor.
  3. Select View Layout. The map opens with a Resources panel on the right. The panel lists the desks, rooms and parking spaces that are not on the map yet.

Place existing desks, rooms and parking spaces on the map

Choose one of these ways.

  • Drag one at a time: drag an icon from the Resources panel to its place on the map. Use Search Resource... to find a resource by name.
  • Place them in order: select Start Mapping. The first resource in the panel follows your pointer. Click on the map where it belongs, and the next resource follows. Select Stop Mapping when you are done. Start Mapping is greyed out when there are no resources left to place, or when your role cannot update them.

To move a resource that is already on the map, drag its icon to a new place. Select Save to keep your changes. Select Full Screen for a larger map.

Add a new desk, room or parking space from the map

  1. Drag the New Desk, New Room or New Parking Space icon from the Resources panel onto the map.
  2. Fill in the details in the form that opens. Select OK.

  3. Select Save.

The new icons appear only when that product is turned on for your location, you have not reached its limit, and your role can create it.

Edit or remove a resource

  1. Select the resource on the map. Its details open.
  2. Change the details and select OK. To close without changes, select Cancel. If you can only view the details, the button reads Close.
  3. Select Save to keep your changes.

Note: the Delete button in the details asks Are you sure you want to delete followed by the name. If you confirm, the desk, room or parking space is deleted straight away. It does not wait for you to select Save.

Leave the layout

  • Select Exit Layout. If you have unsaved changes, the Unsaved Changes box offers Save & Exit, Exit Without Saving or Cancel. Your unsaved changes are lost if you exit without saving.

  • If you leave the page in another way, you are asked to choose Save Changes or Discard Changes.
  • To remove the map image, select Delete Layout. See Upload a floor layout.

Things to know

Troubleshooting

  • There is no View Layout button: desks, rooms and parking are all turned off for this location.
  • Save, Start Mapping or the New icons are missing: your role may not allow it. Ask a company admin to check your role.
  • The New Desk icon is missing: desks are turned off for this location, or you have reached your desk limit.
