Map Room Coordinates

ResCenter’s room mapping feature allows a staff member to use a Room Selection Floor Plan image to create a map of selectable spaces representing each room. Each space can then be chosen by a patron by using a graphical interface via MyResCenter Web.

Staff members can use the Map feature to select points on a Room Selection Floor Plan image, which will create a room’s coordinates. Alternatively, using the Edit feature allows staff members to enter or edit the coordinates using X and Y values. Refer to the Edit Room Coordinates section for more information on editing coordinates.

Use the following procedure to map room coordinates from the Location Images page:

1.  Select Location Images from the Web section of the Setup menu.

2.  Search for the linked image location you want to map.

3.  Click  Map next to the location in the List of Facility Image Links grid. The Room Coordinates page will be displayed.

4.  In the [Floor Name] - Room Coordinates grid, each room will be listed. Click Map next to the desired room start the mapping process.

5.  Select a coordinate mapping method by selecting either Rectangle (Two Points) or Free-Form (Four Points).

•     Rectangle (Two Points): Requires selecting two points diagonally opposite of each other. The room’s shape will be a rectangle based on these two points.

•     Free-Form (Four Points): Requires selecting four points to form the room’s shape. This option maybe useful for rooms that are not shaped like a rectangle.

6.  Optional: Select a Pen Color from the drop-down menu. The pen color is the color the room outline when mapping the room coordinates.

7.  For Rectangle (Two Points): Hover the mouse over a room’s outline on the floor plan image. Click once in the corner of the room. Click once again in the diagonally opposite corner of the room. A rectangle will be created based on these two points.

For Free-Form (Four Points): Hover the mouse over a room’s outline on the floor plan image. Click once in the corner of the room. Click once again in the next corner. Continue with the last two corners. A free-form shape will be created based on the four points.

For Free-Form (Four Points): Hover the mouse over a room’s outline on the floor plan image. Click once in the corner of the room. Click once again in the next corner. Continue with the last two corners. A free-form shape will be created based on the four points.

8.  After clicking the room corners, a shape will appear showing the outline just created.

If necessary, the room’s shape can be re-mapped using the following steps.

•     Click Map next to the desired room. The room’s outline will appear and a Redo link will be available. Click the Redo link and repeat steps 5-7.

•     To cancel re-mapping the shape, click the Cancel button.
