Any tips on getting Floor plans to work?

I've uploaded floor plans for the first floor of one of our buildings. The import went fine, it tells me it sees a count of 35 people (which is correct), but nothing happens on the user cards in my B...

    Mirek_N The labeling is correct in the DWG file. Can you do the following:

     

    1. Mark 10 or more rooms with room labels. Something like ST-10., ST-11 ... ST-20.
    2. Update office locations of 10 or more AAD users with B1/ST-10, B1/ST-11, ... B1/ST-20.
    3. Check whether the changes have reached MS Search. It might take upto 8 days.
      1. To check, open office.com and search for the person with the locations in (2). If the updated address shows up, it will work.
    4. Now upload the floor plans.

Hello Heidi Connor,

 

may I ask you for tips or screens how did you set the search? Could you share please exactly following details:

  • What kind of information do you have in label in DWG file?
  • What kind of information do you have in user profile in label Office?
  • What did you set in "Link office location"?

Does the search work?

 

I set it this way but it does not work.

  1. Created map with labels
  2. Change users office in AAD profile (B1/ST-17) where B1 is building and ST-17 office. If I understood it right.
  3. Set search
    1. Set location
    2. Set floor plan
      1. Select location
      2. Upload map
      3. Link office location

Thank you for your tips,

 

Mirek

Hi Mirek_N ,

 

Our building/seating format looks like:  BOS-C1-105.1, where:

BOS = Building

C1 = Floor

105.1 = Seat

 

In the DWG file, we have the building, floor, and office code/numbers.

 

In the Admin Center user profiles, it shows the full building, floor, seat:   BOS-C1-105.1

 

In Locations, I have added an entry for Boston Campus, which I'll use when adding the floor plan.

 

When setting it up in Search > Floor Plans:

 

  1. On the “Select your building” pane, I select = Boston Campus
  2. On the “Link Office locations” (AAD code) pane, I enter = BOS
  3. On the “Specify location patterns” pane, I enter Floor = C1, Room = 105.1, and we have a few Zones, so there’s a second pattern row for zone items that is Floor = C1, Room = ZONE1 (This appears to be case sensitive)

    Thank you Heidi for your tips. I have changed the settings and will see what will happen on Monday. It needs a long time to see changes. I will let you know 🙂
