What this guide covers
The Warehouse Map turns your bins into pins on a floor-plan picture, so you can see where stock lives and how full each location is. This guide covers the full setup — create buildings and floors, upload a floor-plan image, and place your locations on it — plus the read-only viewer everyone uses to find stock.
Where to find it
- View the map: Locations → Warehouse Map.
- Set it up: Warehouse → Warehouse Map → Buildings & Floors and Placement editor.
(The management screens used to live under the Admin menu; they now sit in the Warehouse menu.)
Who can do what
- Warehouse Map — View (
WarehouseMapView) — open the viewer, browse floors, and find a product / location. Read-only. - Warehouse Map — Manage (
WarehouseMapManage) — everything in View, plus create buildings / floors, upload floor plans, and place locations on the plan. - A global Administrator always has both.
Setting up the map
Do these in order (all in the management screens):
- Create a building — in Buildings & Floors, add a building and name it (e.g. Main Warehouse).
- Add floors — add one floor per level (Ground, Mezzanine, …).
- Upload a floor-plan image — upload a picture or drawing of each floor. This becomes the backdrop the pins sit on.
- Place locations — open the Placement editor, pick the building and floor, then click on the plan to drop each location's pin and set its handling type and level (Z).
- Tip: assign the building & floor to many bins at once in Location Management (Set building & floor), then just position the pins here.
- View the map — open the viewer (Locations → Warehouse Map) to see the coloured pins.
Reading the map
Each location is a pin on the floor plan:
- Colour = handling type — blue = Floor, amber = Shelf / palletized, green = Hand-picking, grey = Untyped.
- Fill = occupancy — a solid pin holds stock; a hollow ring is empty.
- Click a pin to see the location's name, type and what it currently holds.
Use the building and floor selectors at the top to switch plans.
Finding a product or location
Type a product code or a location name into the find box. Matching pins on the current floor pulse with an amber ring so you can spot them instantly. (A product-code search runs first; if nothing matches it falls back to a location-name search.)
