Add Walls to Improve Wayfinding

Fine tune blue dot behavior in wayfinding applications by drawing walls on your floorplan.

You can add walls to the floorplan to keep the blue dot contained within a desired vicinity. For example, if there are walls around the room that a user is in, the blue dot will be contained within that space. Walls prevent the blue dot from snapping to paths outside of an enclosed area.

  1. From the left menu of the Juniper Mist™ portal, select Location > Live View.
  2. Select the site and the floorplan.
  3. Click Wayfinding Paths.
  4. Under Drawing Tool on the right, click Insert Wall.
  5. Start drawing your wall, as follows:
    1. Click inside the floorplan to indicate the starting point of the wall.
    2. Move to the next point that you want the wall to include and click there to continue drawing the wall.
    3. Click the last point drawn to finish drawing the wall. This exits the drawing tool.

    • Make sure that the walls and the wayfinding paths do not intersect.

    • Do not block doorways with walls, or your app will not be able to lead your users through those doors. Make sure there is enough space for the blue dot to enter and exit as needed.

  6. Delete any excess segments or nodes by selecting them and then pressing Delete.
  7. Click Save.
