- How to use
- About the working area
The working area is located in the centre of the screen, and is dominated
by the floor plan graphic. You can plan a Reception Centre by placing
objects on top of the floor plan.
CAUTION: Refreshing or reloading the page will
delete all the objects.
- Choosing a floor plan
Click the desired floor plan icon under the heading "Choose Floor
Plan". The new floor plan will replace the old one that appears in
the large working area in the middle of the screen. You can change
the floor plan any time without altering other elements.
- Creating objects
Pre-defined objects under the following headings can be created for
the Reception Centre plan:
- "Define an Area" - used
to define a functional area in the plan
- "Drag and Drop Icons"
- used to graphically label the area
Hold down the left mouse button
on top of a shape or icon, drag it to the desired location, and release
the mouse button to place the area.
You can create a custom text label by typing in the field marked "Type
here", and then pressing the "New text label" button. The new text
label item will appear in the bottom right corner of the working area.
This label can then be dragged to the location desired.
- Moving objects
Area, icon and text label objects can be moved. Hold down the left
mouse button on top of a shape, icon or text label, drag it to the
desired location, and release the mouse button to place the area.
- Deleting objects
Area, icon and text label objects can be deleted. Hold down the left
mouse button on object, drag the mouse until it is on top of the "Delete
Object" box, and release the mouse button to delete the selected object.
- Using the output
Note: The plan you create can not
be saved for editing later, and the plan will disappear permanently
if the page is refreshed or reloaded.
- Printing
The plan is printable at any time during the planning process.
- Exporting
The plan you create can be exported in an image format by using the
screen capture or print screen capability on your computer. In windows,
copy the current window by pressing ALT and PRINT SCREEN on the keyboard.
You can then paste the image into a Microsoft Word document.
