Navigate to the Field tab.
Add a new location or select one from the existing locations.
For detailed information on how to add a new location, check Add a Location in a Project.
NOTE: The selected location must not have any pre-calibrated floor plans or sub-locations.
Upload your floor plan.
Select a file to upload (PDF Format only).
After you select the file, click Upload.
TIP:
Alternatively, use the Add Drawing option (top-right) to upload your floor plan.
NOTE: The Auto Calibration Tool only calibrates uncalibrated floor plans. Do not upload previously calibrated plans.
Click the icon next to a location to open its drawing in the display area.
Locations with floor plans show an icon. The icon is green for calibrated plans and blue for uncalibrated plans.
Click Calibration Mode (top right).
It might take a few seconds for the Calibration button to activate and turn blue.
A calibration window will appear.
NOTE: Once the floor plan is calibrated, sub-locations will be added.
After the floor plan is calibrated, a pop-up appears allowing you to edit location names.
Select a suggested name for a location or enter a name of your choice.
Click Next to proceed to the next location.
After you finish editing the names, click Save & Close at the bottom.
Once complete, additional editing options will become available.
From the left panel, select a sub-location (Room) to edit its name or click the delete icon next to it to remove it.
TIP: Hovering over a sub-location in the left panel will highlight that specific area in the floor plan on the right.
Use the Sort by button at the top to re-arrange sub-locations alphabetically or in reverse alphabetical order.
Use the Undo/Redo option to manage changes.
Adjust the zoom level using the Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons at the bottom right.
Use the tools available in the side toolbar to further edit the layout.
