View and manage your venues

The Venues page, accessible by clicking Venues in the left navigation pane, lets you see all information associated with your venues. See details about a venue's status, see them on a map, and edit or delete them here. You can also define and manage zones for your venues.

Venue status

At the top of the page, a Venue status section is shown with the number of rejected venues and the number of venues that are pending verification.

Depending on which stage of the setup process you're in for each venue, you may see them in the following states:

• Saved — You haven't yet submitted the venue for processing.
• Submitted — The venue has been submitted to a Samsung admin for processing.
• Processing — The Samsung admin is reviewing your venue.
• Rejected — Edits are required for your venue before you can submit it for processing again.
• Pending verification — The Samsung admin created an IMDF file from your venue, and needs you to verify that it's correct.
• Returned — You resubmitted your venue for processing, and it's awaiting review from a Samsung admin.
• Published — You verified the venue and published it. Real-time location data can now be seen on the console.
• Updated — You made some edits to your venue, but you haven't resubmitted it for processing yet.

For details about the status of a specific venue, hover over its STATUS in the venue list.

Manage zones for a venue

The real-time location service supports zone creation, which lets you define zones in a published venue. For example, if your retail store has different departments, you can mark the boundaries of each department on the floor plan.

To manage your zones using the editor:

1. On the Venues page, select a published venue.
2. Click Actions > Manage zones.
3. In the dialog that opens, click Edit .
4. The zone editor opens. Select a building, then select the floor to edit zones for.

If you previously defined zones, you can choose to deactivate or edit zones. Otherwise, you're only able to edit zones. Once you save your changes, they're immediately reflected in the real-time location service. You won't need to get your venue reviewed by a Samsung admin.

Deactivate a zone

In the zone editor, click ZONE DEACTIVATION. A list of zones associated with the floor plan you selected is shown. On the floor plan, hover over a zone to see its name.

You can enable or disable individual zones according to your needs. Disabled zones are ignored by the real-time location service, and aren't shown on the Venues or Analytics pages.

When you're finished, click SAVE.

Edit zones

In the zone editor, click EDIT ZONES. A toolbar is shown with options to create a zone, delete a zone, and edit the name of a zone. You can use your mouse scroll wheel or the + and — buttons in the bottom-right corner to zoom in and out of the floor plan.

In the bottom-left corner, a color key indicates the zone colors and what they represent:

• Blue — A zone that currently exists on the floor plan.
• Red — The zone is marked for deletion, and will be deleted after you save your changes.
• Green — A new zone to be added to the floor plan after you save your changes.
• Grey — A zone that has been deactivated.

To create a new zone:

1. In the toolbar, click . The cursor changes to a green pencil when you hover inside the floor plan, and a red pencil when you hover outside of the floor plan. You can only create a zone while the pencil is green.
2. Click an area of the floor plan to mark a point. This point acts as the corner of the zone, and you can click to mark additional points around the zone to create a boundary. When you're done, close the zone by marking a point next to your first one.
3. In the dialog that opens, enter a name for your new zone. Then, click OK.

Your new zone is then marked in green on your floor plan. In the bottom-right corner, click SAVE to confirm your changes.

To delete a zone:

1. In the toolbar, click .
2. Click the zone you want to delete. Its color changes to red, indicating that it's marked for deletion.
3. In the bottom-right corner, click SAVE to confirm the deletion.

To edit the name of a zone:

2. Click the zone you want to edit the name of.
