Model your facility with floorplans

Upload a floorplan image, draw your spaces onto it, and organize them into groups so the board mirrors your real facility.

Outcome

Your site’s floorplan is in Orkyo, your schedulable spaces are drawn onto it as shapes, and related spaces are grouped — so the Utilization board and the floorplan view speak the same geography as your shop floor.

Before you begin

  • A floorplan image of your site — PNG or JPEG, up to 10 MB. A simple diagram works as well as an architectural drawing.
  • The Editor or Admin role.
  • At least one site (sites are managed by tenant admins under Administration → Sites).

Step 1 — Upload the floorplan

  1. Go to Spaces; the Floorplan tab is the default.
  2. Choose the upload action — the Upload Floorplan Image dialog opens: “Upload a floorplan image for this site. Accepted formats: PNG, JPEG (max 10MB)”.
  3. Drop your image on “Drop your floorplan here or click to browse”, then choose Upload.

The image becomes the canvas the rest of this guide draws on. Each site has its own floorplan — switch sites in the top bar to model another location.

Step 2 — Draw your spaces

Spaces are drawn directly on the floorplan as rectangles or polygons. The canvas guides you at every step with on-screen instructions:

  • Rectangle — “Click to place first corner”, then “Click to place opposite corner”.
  • Polygon — click to add points (three minimum), then “Double-click to complete polygon” for irregular areas.
  • Press ESC to cancel an in-progress shape.

Draw one shape per schedulable area — a hall, a cell, a bench, a bay. Precision matters less than recognizability: the goal is that a planner glancing at the floorplan knows instantly which space is which.

Step 3 — Describe each space

Open a drawn space to edit its details (Edit Space):

  • Code — a short identifier, useful on dense boards.
  • Name — e.g. Assembly Area A.
  • Description — optional context.
  • Capacity — how many units of work or people it holds.

Then add its Capabilities — the criteria this space satisfies, from your criteria vocabulary. Finish with Save Changes.

Step 4 — Group related spaces

  1. Open the Groups tab.
  2. Create groups that mirror how you actually talk about the facility — Hall 1, Cleanrooms, Training rooms — and add the relevant spaces.

Groups keep large catalogs navigable, and group-level capabilities apply to every member — set a capability once on Cleanrooms instead of on each room individually.

Step 5 — See it on the board

Go to Utilization → Spaces. Your drawn spaces appear as scheduling rows, and the collapsible floorplan ties each row back to its physical location. Drag a request onto a row — the geography and the schedule are now the same picture.
