Rebuildings
Layer versions are store-specific and are a great tool for planning of rebuilding.
In this manual you will find:
- How to draw a floor plan after a rebuilding?
- How is the floor plan after a rebuilding displayed in the Store Editor?
- How can the floor plan after a rebuilding be accessed on the web?
The Scarborough store may have only one version of the Fixtures layer capturing the existing state valid from 21.2.2020. If the rebuilding of the fixtures is planned in this store from 1.4.2026, it is possible to create a new version of the layer in Quant in advance with the validity from 1.4.2026 and draw the newly planned state in it.
How to draw a floor plan after a rebuilding?
- Create a new layer version in the layer that should be changed because of the rebuilding.
- Fill in the name - in our case it will be a second version in the Fixtures layer so we will name it "2".
- Start Date should be 1.4.2026 because since this date the rebuilded floor plan should be valid.
- Duplicate Latest Version checkbox should be marked if the floor plan will not differ from the original floor plan so much after the rebuilding . Duplicate Latest Version will ensure that all fixtures from version "1" will be copied to the new version "2" and you can then make just small adjustments to the original floor plan.
- In the Fixture layer a newly created version will appear.
- Make changes in the duplicated version so that the floor plan corresponds to the floor plan after the reconstruction.
As soon as the start date of the version after rebuilding occurs, the new floor plan from the version after rebuilding will be displayed to the store instead the original one.
Store Editor View
If you are at the highest level in the Store tab (on the store name), the floor plan valid for the current date displayed in the top bar is displayed.
To see what the floor plan will look like after the rebuilding, you need to change the date in the top bar so that the version of the layer in which the rebuilding is drawn becomes valid. In our case, the floor plan after the renovation will be valid from 1.4.2026, so it is necessary to set the date to 1.4.2026, or later.
Rebuilding View on the Web
The store will be able to view the floor plan after the rebuild on the website if you fill the Floor Plan Rebuilding Date in the store properties, which is the same as the plan date of the new layer.
The Floor Plan Rebuilding Date is set in the Store Editor in the Store tab.
On the web you will see both states of floor plan after you will set Rebuilding Date of the store and you can easily switch between them.
If no Floor Plan Rebuilding Date is set, the store will see on the web the floor plan which is valid today. The floor plan after rebuilding will therefore start to be displayed on the day when the layer version in which the rebuilding state is drawn will start to be valid. In our case it will be on 1.4.2026.
If you want to create planograms in Project Editor for fixtures that are present in the rebuilding version, you must set the publishing date of the project to fall within the period in which the rebuilding version should be valid. You can read more about this topic in the Layers in the Project Editor manual.
