# Location

The positioning management interface is divided into six parts: map management, building management, floor management, floor details, outdoor positioning and indoor positioning. Floor details are always visible, other parts are controlled by the administrator, if not visible please contact the administrator.

# Map

You can add 2D map or 3D map. If you select 2D map, you can upload map pictures directly. If you select 3D map, contact the administrator to make a 3D map. The supported image types include JPG, JPEG, PNG, and SVG. After uploading a map, you can set the map size automatically.

prompt

When adding a map, click "Ok", the map will be saved in draft state. Click the "Submit" button, the map will be submitted for review and the state will be changed to audit, after approved by the system administrator the state will be pass.

# Building

The deployment of the building is completely visual. Select the icon to be placed on the right of the page, move the mouse pointer to the location where the icon is to be placed, and click to finish placing the icon. After the layout is complete, the system automatically saves the configuration. For specific operations, you can click the demo below for reference.

Right click icon to delete, edit the added building, you can change the building name and icon.

# Floor

After adding a building, you need to add the corresponding floors to the building and map the corresponding floors. Multiple floors can be added at the same time, and multiple floors can share a map. The specific method for adding floors is as follows.
The floor range is -5 to 100, negative numbers indicate underground floors.
Format 1: single floor, example1:-1, example2: 3
Format 2: multiple adjacent floors, example: 2~18
Format 3: multiple non-adjacent floors, example: 2, 5, 7, 8~10 Click Deploy to enter the floor layout interface, as shown in the picture.

Before deploying beacons, you can add corresponding areas, which have the following functions:

Only beacons in the same area can adopt the three-point positioning algorithm;
When the device moves between areas, the anti-shake function can be set to prevent the device from bouncing back and forth between areas.
You can set different alarm types for different regions. By default, all beacons are in the same region.

When the device moves between beacons, the track between beacons is straight line, and it may go through the wall. At this time, a reasonable path can be planned for the device by adding connection points and setting the beacon and each connection point as adjacent.
Set the adjacency relationship as follows:

Select the beacon or connection point with the left mouse button.
Press and hold the shift key, and left click to select the beacon or connection point connected to it.
Click the button to set the adjacency relationship.
Right click the beacon or connection point to dissolve the adjacency relationship.

All beacons available for this project are listed on the right side of the interface. Select the beacon, and then move the cursor to the location on the map where the beacon needs to be placed. Click the mouse, and the beacon will be placed at that location. Right-click the beacon to do the following with the beacon:

Add to a region or remove from region.
Set the punch point. After setting the punching point, when the terminal scans the beacon, it is considered that the attendance punching is successful.
Scan area. It is mainly used for area positioning (single point positioning, as opposed to three-point positioning). According to the specific position of the beacon deployed on the map, when the terminal scans the beacon, the terminal can display itself in the appropriate position to prevent it from going beyond the map.

For specific operations, you can click the demo at the bottom of the page to learn.

# Floor Details

In the floor details, you can view the detailed arrangement of beacons on each floor.

# Outdoor Positioning

Outdoor positioning is divided into two interfaces: real-time positioning and historical track. The administrator controls whether outdoor location is visible. If the system does not provide the outdoor location function, you can set this page to invisible.

# Location Query

Query the location of the terminal device. Enter the employee name to query the outdoor location of the device. If the device is in the room, the device is automatically displayed on the indoor map.

# Historical Track

Displays the outdoor historical track information of a terminal device. You can query it by time segment.

# Indoor Positioning

Indoor location includes location query and data analysis. The administrator controls whether indoor location is visible. If the system does not provide the indoor location function, you can set this page to invisible.

# Location Query

By default, indoor maps show all people, assets, or vehicles on the current map. You can set filters to show only people, assets, vehicles, or a combination of them, or you can filter by location time, such as showing only devices whose location has changed in the last 5 minutes. When you query the indoor location of a terminal device, enter the name of the employee or asset to be queried to query its indoor location. If the current device is outdoors, you can view the device on the outdoor map.
On the indoor map, you can switch to other buildings or floors.
