Sites and floor plans

Sites basics

Accessia uses real world concepts to represent your building and how hardware is placed

In Accessia;

A site represents a single physical location or address - a headquarters or regional office, for example.
A site is made up of one or more floors
Floors are constructed by uploading a floor plan image and then placing rooms on it. For example, meeting rooms, server rooms, and kitchens
To connect rooms together on the floor plan, place doors between them, just as they are in reality
Add hardware such as cameras, beacons, and kiosks inside rooms or by doors on the floor plan
Rooms can be grouped together into optional zones when they share the same access rules, for example, rooms that only engineering teams have access to can be grouped into an engineering zone

In the example below,

Doors are connecting rooms
Hubs are in Server Room A
Both Server Rooms are in a secure zone, highlighted in pink, and sharing the same access rules
The Kitchen and Reception are in a common areas zone, highlighted in green, and also sharing the same access rules

Go to Site setup and select New site
1. Enter a name for your site, for example ‘New York - Avenue of the Americas’
2. Select the local timezone of the site from the dropdown menu
3. Enter the longitude and latitude of the site. You can find these using external tools such as https://www.latlong.net/

Accessia requires longitude and latitude information for location services features to work when users are onsite

Save your site information then click New floor, enter a floor name, and upload a floor plan image
When you’ve added the new floor, click on Edit map and then Add room
1. Draw a point on each corner of the room you’re adding and click Save
2. Give your room a name
3. Set which zone the room is in
4. Set the room type and capacity

Zones group rooms together to share the same access schedule

Setting a room type and capacity allows for accurate reporting on space utilization
