Warehouse Floorplan

The Warehouse Floorplan gives you a visual, interactive representation of your physical space. Instead of navigating a text-based location tree, you can see your warehouse layout at a glance and interact with it directly.

Overview

The floorplan uses an isometric view that gives a three-dimensional feel to your warehouse layout. Zones are displayed directly on the map as color-coded areas, making it easy to distinguish between different sections of your facility at a glance.

• Isometric view Provides a 3D-like perspective of your warehouse.
• Zones Are shown directly on the map as interactive areas.
• Color-coded areas Let you quickly identify different zone types or statuses.

Navigating the floorplan

Moving around the floorplan is intuitive and works just like a digital map:

• Zoom in and out Pinch with two fingers to zoom in for detail or zoom out for the full picture.
• Pan Drag with one finger to move around the floorplan.
• Search Use the search bar to find a specific location. The floorplan will automatically center on the matching zone or spot.

Zones on the floorplan

Each zone on the floorplan is color-coded based on its status or category. This provides an immediate visual overview of how different areas of your warehouse are being used. You can configure zone colors to match your workflow for example, green for fully stocked areas, orange for zones that need attention, and red for areas with critical issues.

Viewing items at a location

To see what is stored at a specific location:

1. Tap a zone or spot on the floorplan.
2. A detail drawer slides up from the bottom of the screen.
3. The drawer shows the location name, type, stored items, and current stock levels.
4. Tap any item in the drawer to navigate directly to its detail page.

Floorplan editor (Admin)

Administrators can create and modify the floorplan layout using the built-in editor:

1. Enter edit mode from the floorplan screen.
2. Add new zones by tapping the add zone button.
3. Resize and position zones by dragging their edges and moving them around the canvas.
4. Configure each zone with a name, linked location, and appearance settings.
5. Save your changes when the layout matches your physical space.

Zone configuration

When editing a zone on the floorplan, you can configure the following properties:

• Name A descriptive label for the zone displayed on the floorplan.
• Size and position The dimensions and placement of the zone on the canvas.
• Linked location The location in your hierarchy that this zone represents.
• Appearance and colors Custom colors to visually distinguish the zone from others.
