9. Floors and Floor Plans

Floors represent the physical levels of a facility. Each floor can have an uploaded floor plan image, a set of drawn area polygons (wards, wings, corridors), and a collection of units assigned to it. Floor plans are used on the dashboard to show compliance results on top of the actual building layout.

To open the Floors list for a facility, go to Account | Facilities / Floors / Units, select a facility, and choose Floors from the action menu.

9.1. Floor List

The list toolbar provides:

  • Search — filter floors by name.

  • Time Period, Start Date, End Date — scope floor-level compliance statistics to a date range.

  • Status — show active, inactive, or all floors.

  • Sort By — order floors by floor order (default) or alphabetically.

Each row shows the floor name, whether a floor plan image has been uploaded, the sort order, and the number of units assigned to the floor.

9.2. Floor Detail

Click a floor to open the detail editor, which is organized into three tabs.

9.2.1. General

  • Floor Name — label for the floor (for example, Floor 1 or Emergency).

  • Description — optional free-text description.

  • Order — numeric sort order, used to list floors from lowest to highest.

  • Facility — the facility this floor belongs to (read-only).

9.2.2. Floor Plan

  • Plan Type — Standard for a stock layout or Custom for an uploaded image.

  • Image — upload the floor plan image (PNG or JPEG). Use Remove to clear an existing image.

9.2.3. Dimensions

  • Size (W, H) — the width and height of the floor plan image in pixels.

  • Scale — real-world units per pixel. This is set interactively on the Floor Plan viewer using the Set Scale tool.

  • DPI — image DPI, used for printing.

  • Bin Size — granularity used when aggregating observations onto the floor plan.

9.3. Floor Plan Viewer

The Floor Plan viewer opens from the floor’s action menu. It shows the uploaded floor plan with compliance data overlaid by area.

9.3.1. Filters

The filter bar at the top of the viewer controls the data overlaid on the floor plan:

  • Floor — switch between floors in the facility.

  • Time Period, Start Date, End Date — scope results to a date range using the same options as the dashboard.

Click the funnel button to show or hide the filter bar.

9.3.2. Drawing Areas

Areas (wards, wings, patient rooms) are drawn as polygons on top of the floor plan.

  1. Click Draw Polygon.

  2. Click on the floor plan to place each polygon vertex.

  3. Double-click to close the polygon and name the area.

Each area is listed in the legend on the floor plan and in the unit panel to the right. The color of each polygon reflects the compliance result for the time period selected in the filter bar.

9.3.3. Setting the Scale

To make the floor plan measurable in real-world units:

  1. Click Set Scale.

  2. Click two points on the floor plan that you know the real-world distance between.

  3. Enter the distance.

Once set, the Measure tool can be used to check distances directly on the floor plan.

9.3.4. Assigning Units

The unit panel on the right lists all units assigned to the facility. Each unit can be linked to an area on the floor plan so that observations recorded for the unit appear in the correct location.
