How can I create floor maps for my sensors

Floor maps in Thermotrack Webserve give you a bird’s-eye view of your monitoring setup by placing your sensors directly onto a custom background image. You can create as many maps as you need — one per site, floor, or functional area — so your team always knows exactly where to look.

What are maps for?

Instead of scrolling through lists, maps let you spot issues at a glance. Each sensor appears on your own background image (a floor map, a facility photo, an installation diagram…), making it immediately clear where a problem is located and how it fits into the wider environment.

What you see on a map

Every sensor is displayed at the position you assigned it. A colour code shows its current status at a glance:

  • Blue — the sensor is operating normally
  • Red — the sensor has a fault or is in an alarm state

Hovering over a sensor brings up a tooltip with its details. Clicking on it takes you straight to its measurement graph and alarm history.

Creating a new map

Required permissions: only Administrator and Super Administrator accounts can create maps.

Step 1 — Open the Map menu

Go to Settings and click Map.

Step 2 — Name your map

Enter a name for the map. This is the name that will appear on the Thermotrack Webserve home page.

Step 3 — Select a location

Choose the location to associate with this map. The location defines which equipment will be available for you to place on the image.

Step 4 — Upload a background image

Import the image you want to use as the map background. You can use any image of your own — a photo, a technical drawing, an architectural floor map, and so on.

Recommended size: 900 × 700 pixels for the best display quality.

Step 5 — Set user access

Select which users will have access to this map. Only the users you choose will be able to see it in their interface.

Step 6 — Position your equipment

Once the image is uploaded, drag and drop each piece of equipment from the list onto its location on the map. Place every sensor where it is actually installed for an accurate, real-world view.
