Upload and configure maps

This article will cover how to set up floor maps as part of room booking

Floor maps are used on Tap Scheduler,  Logi Tune mobile, and Logi Tune desktop to help users find rooms, and desks, and navigate the office. You can add amenities, such as kitchens, toilets, elevators, and much more to the maps, as well as plot the rooms that employees within your organization can book.

Prerequisites

If you have started your free trial for the room booking premium features you’ll be able to create maps for floors.

To add and manage floor maps for your Logitech Sync organization you need to be logged in as an administrator in Sync with Owner privileges.

 Add a map

1. Adding a map starts by finding a file that represents the floor plan. We recommend using a picture that clearly outlines the structural walls and that is not cluttered with a lot of additional elements.
   Once you find a good picture of your office floor, make sure it's saved as a JGP or PNG file (maximum size: 2MB).
   

2. Then go to System -> Maps to access your organization's maps. Once there you can click Upload Map to begin the process. Select a supported image type to upload your map to Sync.

   

3. After selecting your file you will be asked to specify the dimensions of the floor in real life. Note that the dimension should be for the whole image, not just the width of the floor.
   In the example below the width of the actual floor is 25 meters, but with the padding on the picture, the total width is 50 meters.

   

4. Once you’ve uploaded your map - you will need to assign it to the floor that it should represent.

   

5. After your map has been associated with a floor, you’re ready to plot your rooms, desks, and your points of interest on the map.

Map Editor

To help you manage maps Sync has a built-in map editor. Below we cover some of the controls in the map editor and how to configure your floor map.

Hidden or visible

You’ll notice in the map editor that there’s a “Hidden” label in the top right corner. This can be changed to “Visible” from the menu options. Once visible it will be shown in Tune for all end users associated with your organization.

Reassigning

If you accidentally assigned the map to the wrong floor it can easily be reassigned to another floor.

Scale and Rescale

The scale of the floor is an important data point. It determines both how the markers are rendered on the map (the size of the desks should correspond to roughly 80 centimeters on the floor) and at what zoom level certain objects show.

Note that the dimension should be for the whole image, including any padding.

You can review and change the scale of the floor by using the Rescale option from the drop-down menu in the top right corner.

Adding and arranging rooms

To plot rooms on the map, select the room option from the right side, then you can use your mouse to click and outline the shape of a room on your map. 

Once you have completed the room shape you will see a menu pop up asking you to select the room you have created in Sync that you wish to link to this room on the map. 

After linking a room to the newly plotted room and its availability on the map you will see this room show up when viewing maps.

After plotting the room, and linking it to a Sync room, you are ready to plot your next room.
