Any tips on getting Floor plans to work?
- Feb 24, 2020
Mirek_N The labeling is correct in the DWG file. Can you do the following:
- Mark 10 or more rooms with room labels. Something like ST-10., ST-11 ... ST-20.
- Update office locations of 10 or more AAD users with B1/ST-10, B1/ST-11, ... B1/ST-20.
- Check whether the changes have reached MS Search. It might take upto 8 days.
- To check, open office.com and search for the person with the locations in (2). If the updated address shows up, it will work.
- Now upload the floor plans.

I was populating rooms with that data, but only within the last 8 hours. The rooms have the location/room, I tried with a person as well as I was hoping to test the search out, but our systems automatically update AD with that location information based on our mailstop. The one I set was reverted on me.
I'm going to have to make a new user that isn't tied to our source data so it won't get overwritten.
If I'm reading it right the key is getting enough locations set with that information and then it will appear?
I'm struggling because the first location I tested with was in IT and the code I used exists on hundreds of users and a dozen rooms, although NONE have /ROOM at the end of them.
Also, is it fair to say the building code is arbitrary. It exists in AAD and is associated with the office location and once I can pick it, it will tie into the DWG file and labels of locations where it would map?
Thanks for your feedback too, very helpful in starting to put this together.
Edit: I was able to mock up enough rooms and users with locations that included the one I was after for my test map and it worked. Seems very odd to have to do it that way.
