Mapiq allows you to create your building on a digital platform. An accurate configuration of your building creates a representative digital model which allows your employees to find a suitable working spot in a matter of seconds!

In order to configure your building, you will need to be a Subscription administrator or Building administrator. In this article, we'll explain how you can create your building. You can find step-by-step guides on how to add more details, like a map or desks, in other articles.

2. Determine the desired level of detail, add floors and areas.
3. Set a safe capacity for your office.
4. Give a clear name to your building and areas.
5. Add, delete or adjust buildings, floors, and areas.
6. Save your building as a draft, and come back to it later.
7. Review your changes and publish whenever you are ready to go live.

Configure your building

Add building

1. Log in to https://admin.mapiq.com.
2. Go to the Buildings tab.
3. You'll see the building you're currently viewing on the left top of the page. To select another building, click on the drop-down area next to the building name and select a building from the list. If this is your first time configuring, you'll see a button to add your new building.

4. Click on + Add your first building or click on the dropdown arrow and select Create a new building. 
5. A new window will pop up where you can set the building name and the timezone of the building. Press Add to create the building.
   
6. You are now on the overview page of the newly created building. You can set a safe capacity and select the days your building will be open by going pressing Edit.
   
7. If you want to set the capacity for your building you will need to navigate to Desks in the menu on the left-hand side. On the Desks page, go to Building capacity below the Building header, set your capacity, and press Done. 
   
8. Congratulations, your building is created and set up. The building overview is automatically updated with the number of floors, areas, and desks when configured.

Add floors

1. Select your newly created building.
2. Return to the Overview in the menu on the left.
3. Click + Add floor at the top of your building overview or click Add at the bottom of your building overview.
4. The two buttons have the same end result but through slightly different means. By using + Add floor, a new window is shown where you can specify which floor you need to add.
   
5. When adding a floor through Add at the bottom of the building overview, this window is not shown and a floor is immediately created. Note that you will need to set the floor level yourself.
   

     Floor level increment

   A new floor will automatically have an incremental floor number. Meaning that if the first floor is already in use, it will automatically suggest adding the second floor.

6. Note that you are also able to add a map on the newly created floor, if you want. For now, press Done. 
7. A floor is added below the general overview of your building. 
8. For setting a capacity, repeat the same steps as you took for adding a capacity for the building. Choose Desks from the menu, scroll until you see the new floor in your building overview, select your capacity, and press Done.
9. Repeat the steps above if you want to add multiple floors.

Add areas

1. Select the building created.
2. In the menu on the left, select Desks.
3. Press + Add area below the newly added floors.
4. Give the area a clear name.
5. Set a safe capacity.
6. By clicking on the + button you will be automatically taken to the map editor in order to draw this new area. 
   
7. You can add as many areas as you like to a single floor. Ensure that every area has a unique name.
8. Add more areas by repeating the steps above.
