Auto Zone: Add Location Zones to a Floorplan (BETA)

Auto Zone automatically identifies location zones for you based on the boundaries of a given floorplan. This can be especially useful for large deployments containing a vast number of buildings and rooms, as it automatically identifies and names the zones for you, thus allowing for more precise analytics to be gathered. For more information on location zones, see Add Location Zones to a Floorplan.

Note:

Auto Zone merely suggests location zones for you. You must make adjustments and finalize as you see fit.

Prior to using Auto Zone, ensure the following:

Your floorplan is properly scaled. See Scale a Floorplan.
Your floorplan is as clean as possible. For example, when rooms are the only thing featured on the floorplan, and there is no additional clutter such as furniture or excessive lines, this ensures the most accuracy.
Clear all existing zones from the floorplan to avoid overlapping zones. You can do this from the list in the Location Zones tab to the right of the floorplan.

To use Auto Zone:

From the Juniper Mist portal, navigate to Location > Live View.
Select the floorplan.
Select the Beacons and Zones button.
Select the Auto Zone button in the top right corner of the screen.
At the bottom of the Auto Zone window, select Start Auto Zone.
Confirm that you want to start Auto Zone by selecting Yes from the pop-up window that appears.
Once Auto Zone completes, review the zones, then select Accept or Reject. A pop-up window will appear asking you to confirm your action.
If needed, adjust the proposed zones by physically dragging the corners of the zone with your mouse.
Select the Location Zones tab to right of the floorplan to see the list of Location Zones that Auto Zone has created for you. You can remove and rename zones from here as needed.
1. To remove a zone from the floorplan, select the checkbox next to the zone name, then select the Remove button at the top.
2. To rename a zone, simply select the name to highlight it from the righthand list, then click Edit at the bottom of the screen. Rename the zone, then select Save.
Note:
You can also select a zone from the floorplan and it will highlight the corresponding zone in the Location Zones list for you. This helps to ensure you have the correct zone selected before editing or removing. If your floorplan is pre-labeled with names, Auto Zone will automatically carry the zone names over for you.
When you are done making changes, select the Save button in the top right corner of the screen.
