To call an action, select the tool and apply it on the map. Some tool functions are called directly after clicking on an object located on the map. For example, when you click on objects such as transmitters, barriers or places, a pop-up window appears with the ability to edit the data of this object.
If you click on this tool, the icon color will change to the active blue:
The transmitter can be active or passive. Passive transmitters include iBeacon, Eddystone, and BLE beacons, while active transmitters are WiFi and Wifi-RTT access points and locators. The mouse cursor on the map will be highlighted with a blue dot, which means the tool is waiting for the location of this beacon to be selected. You need to click the mouse cursor on the place where the beacon is physically installed or planned to be installed.
To add a new beacon in the system, you must fill Type, Description, UUID, Major and Minor fields.
If you click on this tool, the icon color will change to the active blue:
Here is an example of adding new "Venue".
To add or change Venue, fill in the following fields.
When you click on this tool, the icon color will change to the active blue:
Barriers are objects that mean obstacles a person cannot pass through (columns, walls, etc.). The minimum number of points for the barrier is 3. If you need to cancel the active "barrier" action, press the ESC or click the "barriers" icon on the map management toolbar.
When you click on this tool, the icon color will change to the active blue:
You need to click the mouse cursor on the place where the route will start. To draw a route, you must specify at least 2 reference points in the direction of the desired route. The route is shown as a green line on the map. To complete the route, you need to double click with the left mouse button. If you need to cancel the active "route" action, press the ESC or click the "route" icon on the map management toolbar.
There are two types of routes:
You can switch the visibility of these routes in the drop-down list - "Layers". It is also possible to disable the visibility of any layer by unchecking the box in the list.

After adding a new location, you need to calculate the map size correctly. You need to click on two different points of the map and specify the distance between them.
When you click on this tool, a window with a list of elevations is activated. This functionality is used to form transitions between high rise markers (floors, staircases, elevators, escalators).
As you can see on the image above, ‘2 floor’ and ‘Quuppa, BLE’ sublocations are connected and have common points. These points are transitions from one floor to another.
If there are lots of transitions between floors, it is recommended to use the display of the "height mode" in the form of a table.
When you click on this tool, the icon color will change to the active blue:
Zones are designed to limit the area on the map where the appearance of a person, for example, is prohibited or dangerous. These could be closed territories, dangerous zones and premises.
You need to click the mouse cursor on the place where the zone will start. To draw a zone, you need to set reference points. Each zone has at least 3 points, and the number of points in one zone is unlimited. Each zone must be closed. To close the shape and apply zone drawing, you need to connect the finish point with the start point.
Then, by clicking on the drawn zone, you can select its color (type) and set the zone name.
When you click on this tool, the icon color will change to the active blue:
You must click the mouse cursor on the object which settings you would like to change. After clicking on the object, a modal window will appear. It contains variable parameters depending on the type of object (zone, location, barrier or transmitter).

By clicking on the ‘cross’ icon, you could remove drawn barriers, areas of transmitters, venues, etc.
‘Marketing’ section provides the functionality of adding advertising and informational PUSH messages.
To add a new PUSH message, select the desired location and sublocation. If the selected location already has PUSH messages, they will be displayed in a list. For a new message, click the button "Add PUSH”.
Each PUSH message has a set of parameters:
To change an existing PUSH, you must first select it from the list. When you add or change a PUSH, an action form appears on the right.
The "Versions" section provides the functionality of the map resource and content version system. When you make changes of location or sublocation, a new version is automatically created. If you need to roll back several versions, select the desired version and click "Use".
The "Analytics" section is essential for displaying the collected data about location and sublocation sessions.
Analytics supports two data-viewing modes:
To view Analytics, you need to select a location and a sublocation. To switch to the heatmaps mode, click on the "Heatmaps" button in the upper-right corner:
In the analytics mode, there are two histograms with user data and a form for requesting data in a specific period.
Histograms about users are available for daily, weekly, and monthly periods. Moreover, daily selection of users is based on a time interval that could be set.
The heatmaps mode shows the map and user activity zones.
The app section is required for communication with the tracking platform. You need to add a list of users with the access to the tracking platform to the "Team" section. After that, select the desired location in the "Locations" section. In the "Parameters" section, choose the necessary reports that will be displayed in the tracking platform.
A user profile is required to change user information.
The profile consists of several fields which are form for switching foreign language and "Exit" button. Two settings are also supported: "Edit password" and "Edit workspace".
When you click on the "Edit password" button, a window appears. It requires filling in three fields: current password, new password and confirmation of the new password.
When you click on the "Edit workspace" button, you will see a page for adding new users through the invitation system, in other words, for sharing the location.
