hi @marco99asr, Here are some simple guide for admin console:

There is console http://your_host/settings.html (http://your_host/#admin)

The default. account: default account :http://your_host/settings.html

Some Sample maps are in svg format: https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/Glance/tree/master/public/map

To change map: open admin console page --- 1) settings page (http://your_host/#admin ) -> 2) Register Map -> 3) CMX Setup (changes the map name that created in Register Map) -> 4) Refresh the page will load the updated map.

The setting page - http://your_host/settings.html has some basic setting options for system.

To upload a new map, wt kind of files i need ?

[kennych]

Here is info about the map file and map mask files: For example (you can reference the files under https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/Glance/tree/master/public/map): normal-glance.svg for map, and normal-glance-mask.png, normal-glance-mask-half.png, and normal-glance-mask-quarter.png for map masks (theses mask files are used for different routines selection)

after map creation can i upload it in http://192.168.0.129/admin.html#map-register?

[kennych]

YES, you can change the map name (you registered via map registration) of CMX setup's map options, after you have uploaded svg map file and map mask files with map name that you entered ). BTW: Map registration only upload the map relevant files to system (you can register multi-maps with different map names) and you can to change map name via "CMX Setup" of map name option to enable the map.

After the upload in cmx Setup i see only 1 floor

When i try to upload the map i don't receive any error/message The new map's name is custom, i use an svg map, png mask, same png mask-half and same png mask-quarter

[marco99asr]

{"status":"failure","message":"You are not authorized for this action!","version":"1.0.0.0"} i receive this if i try to edit map name with "custom" in default floor "Glance's Store"

I'm not sure there is a defect or not, you can login with admin console with default admin account again. and go to CMX setup page have a retry. it should support add multi-floors.

hi @marco99asr, There is the API list at https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/Glance/blob/master/conf/routes The simple flow to add map's campus, building, and floor is: POST /api/v1/campuses controllers.glance.TrackCampus.add POST /api/v1/buildings controllers.glance.TrackBuilding.add POST /api/v1/floors controllers.glance.TrackerFloor.add

You can reference the code to setup your own map campuses, buildings, floors via API calls. Hope this can help.
