How to use the floor plan module

Updated today

The Floor Plans module allows you to see locations, assets, work orders, and requests on an interactive map. The visual of floor plans takes away a lot of the guess work. It enables more accurate work orders and requests to be created and easily located.

Admin users must set up the floor plans so they're available to all users. Learn more on Floor Plan Configurations here.
