Understanding the User Interface - Details View

There are three primary sections in the Details View in InVision Space Manager

1. App Bar - Allows you to traverse the Facility hierarchy, and Navigate to other parts of the InVision system. Can also use to go back HOME, or switch Layout Mode
2. Info Panel - Displays detailed information about specific entity types, shows related entity types and, depending on the configuration, may allow for the editing of entity information
3. Details Map - Shows selected entity types on the map, and allows for mouse based navigation through features.  It also displays the view-by menu and Legend in the Floorplan View only.

App Bar

To navigate throughout the InVision Space Manager application when in the Details View there are a couple options to choose from. You can use the "Back" button to navigate back to the Search and Filter view, or you can use the "Breadcrumb Navigation" feature. In the video below you will see the navigation through Building, Floor, to Space, and then the breadcrumb used to navigate back up. As you navigate through records in InVision Space Manager, you will see the name and data values change in the Info Panel, as well as the breadcrumb to reflect where you are in the Facility hierarchy.

Info Panel

The Info Panel is where you will find detailed information about a specific entity that you have selected. Depending on the entity type selected, different information may be displayed. All entities should have the same core components though - A Primary Image location, Actions Menu, Summary Attributes and a Sub Panel of related features (you may have to scroll down in the Entity Info Panel to see the full Sub Panel)

Expanded vs. Compact layout mode

For some users a limited amount of detail is all they need to get their job done, while power users may need to drill into ALL available attribute records to do their work. InVision Space Manager has a built in way to handle this varying level of detail in the Info Panel - Compact Layout and Expanded Layout. NOTE: For smaller screens this Layout toggle is disabled so as to not completely hide the map view. If you do not see the Layout toggle Icon or shortcut, try maximizing your browser.

Toggling the Layout

You can toggle the Layout View using the icon in the upper right hand corner of the App Bar. This icon will show which state the Info Panel is in, and clicking it will give you a menu of other layouts to choose from.

Shortcut to Toggle

For users accustomed to InVision Space Manager, there is a quick shortcut to enable this layout toggle. If you roll your mouse over the right hand side of the Info Panel, a toggle strip will appear. Click anywhere in this toggle strip area and the Info Panel will toggle its state.

Compact Layout

Compact View displays a concise set of information about each Entity record. Also notice the icon represents the Compact Layout state.

Expanded Layout

Expanded Layout makes a rich set of information available through thematic tabs, and also increases the columns of data visible in sub-panels. Notice the Layout icon has switched to show the Expanded Layout state.

Actions Menu

The Actions Menu in Details View is the primary place to access all InVision Space Manager actions. Depending on your permissions, you may have access to the following capabilities:

• Edit
• Share
• Print
• Reports

If you are not certain about what a particular icon represents, hovering over it will display text which describes the Action it performs.

Sub-panels

Each entity type may have one or more sub-panels displayed in the Info Panel where related entity types are listed. The sub panels allow you to view all the related entity types, and view them on the map by clicking on the record in the sub panel.  You are also able to drill down into specific related entity types by clicking on the "i" info button for each related entity type.

Tip: If you use the Share link from the Actions Menu, it will copy which sub-panels are open so that when someone opens the link they can see the same expanded sub-panels as you were viewing.

Details Map

The details map allows you to view your data spatially, change the basemap displayed on the map to use cartography or imagery, pan and zoom to explore your data, and click on Buildings or Spaces to identify them in Details View.  When you are viewing a Floor record (or have clicked a Floor row while viewing a Building), the View by menu will appear to let you select how you want to render your data. The following is a quick overview of interacting with the Details Map.

• Basemap - To change the basemap that is displayed in the Details Map, choose one of the configured Basemaps from names in the upper right hand corner. 
• Navigation - To navigate around the map you are able to drag to pan, use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out, or you can use the zoom buttons pictured below to zoom in and out. You can also click on a Building or Space record in the map to select it in Details View.
• View bys - When a floor is visible in Details View a "View Space By" Menu appears by the Basemap toggle buttons.  This allows you to view the spaces on that floor based on specific metrics such as by Organization Assigned, by Type, by Access, by Availability, or by creating your own User Defined View by.
• Legend - To view a legend to see what each color means, open the Legend menu found in the lower right corner of the Details Map, opening this menu will expand a Legend at the bottom of the Details Map
• Viewing Floorplans - To make a floor visible, click on the row for a floor in the Floor sub-panel for a Building, view a Floor record in Details View, or view a Space in Details View.
