States - Map View

Map View allows a User, with appropriate Permissions, to set up/edit, view, and control Doors/Devices that are part of a Customer Account.

To start using Map View, a Partner with appropriate Permissions will need to add an image, such as a blueprint or rendering of the location, which will be displayed in the Map View. To do this, tap or click the Map View icon in the upper right corner of the States page.  

Doing this will open the Map View page.  If no Map View has been added, tap/click the Add Map View button in the middle of the screen to open the Add Map View page, which will guide you through the steps to add an image and create a Map View.

Tap/click the Select Image button to open a dialogue box and browse to and open the image you wish to use.

After selecting the image you wish to use, the window will allow you to Select Another Image, Crop Selected Image, and adjust the image's Opacity. Once any adjustments needed have been made, tap/click the 'Next' button below the preview of the image.

The next page will allow you to set the following items:

• The Name that will be shown in the Map View once setup is complete
• The Short Name that is displayed and used when linking Map Views together.
• The Partition whose Managers have access to the control of doors in the Map View. This option is only available if additional Partitions have been set up on the Cloud Node.

Once you have entered this information, tap/click 'Next' to advance to the final step in the setup of the Map View. If you need to return to the previous step, tap/click the 'Previous' button.

If all the previous steps have been configured, tap or click Finish below the preview image to save the Map View.

After finishing and saving the first Map View, you will be presented with a dialogue message directing you to set up the first Door/Device on the Map View.

Tapping or clicking the Dismiss button will open a dialogue to select the first Door/Device to add to the Map View.

After adding the Door/Device, you can move the  Door/Device around the Map View to where the Door/Device is physically located on the image.

To return to the List View for the Doors and Devices, simply tap or click the List View icon in the upper right corner of the page.
