Manage map objects and data

Manage the map objects and map data from the Map Studio interface. Customize your maps as often as required.

In the Map Studio, manage and edit map objects and map data. Upload CAD and raster image file sources, configure your architectural diagrams and import back to the Map studio to have great looking maps. Create views, places, direction graphs, and migrate data to another instance using the snapshots capability.

  1. Create a campus with buildings and floors
    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.
  2. Working with boundary editor
    Boundary editor helps to define the mapped area of a campus on the global map by adjusting the campus boundaries to visualize the location of a campus and building on a map. Boundaries are used to differentiate between outdoor maps and indoor mapped areas.
  3. Import outdoor elements
    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.
  4. Manage places
    Edit campus and buildings to add places, icons, and place types that you want to display on the indoor maps.
  5. Manage Directions

    The keyboard shortcuts provided with Indoor Mapping allow Map Studio administrators to quickly perform common administrative tasks by using keys in the Map Studio.
  11. Synchronize Indoor Mapping with Workplace Service Delivery
    Synchronize Indoor Mapping locations and map data objects with Workplace Service Delivery campus, buildings, floors, and spaces.
  12. Synchronize Indoor Mapping with CMN Locations
