Mobile Framework

Change Highlights and Labels on Floor Plans in a Mobile App

The Archibus mobile framework supports SVG drawings. The drawings are configurable using Web Central settings. Plan types are different views of your drawing. For example, you may wish to provide a view of your floor plan which highlights rooms by occupancy and a view which highlights rooms by room category and allow the user to choose between views.

Plans are included in the app by entering the view file, highlight data source and label data source information in the Active Plan Types (active_plantypes) table.The The plantype_groups table maps each Archibus Plan Type to each Archibus mobile app and defines whether a plan type is active or inactive for a specific Archibus mobile app.

The plan type information is sent to the server and is applied to the SVG drawing file by the server. Drawings are downloaded from the Web Central server and cached on the device.

The active_plantypes.hs_hide and active_plantypes.hs_hide2 fields specify that the SVG rendering workflow rule should hide (i.e. not include) non-highlighted assets when generating the SVG. A value of "Yes" will hide asset elements and asset labels for any assets that do not meet the highlight data source criteria.

To control the plan types presented to the user and the order in which they are listed, use the System > Mobile Apps Manager > Manage Plan Types task.
