When an alert comes in—whether it’s a leak, flood, or temperature change—you need to know where to go. The new Interactive Floor Plan feature in AlertAQ™ makes it easy to see the location of sensors so you can act fast.
Please note:
Editor and Admin roles are able to upload Floor Plans and add sensors to them. Viewers are able to view and interact with them.

Add your sensors
After you successfully add your floor plan, you can start adding your sensors.
Open to the Floor Plan page. The sensors registered to that location will populate on the left sidebar.
Click and drag each sensor to place it on the plan. The position will be saved automatically once it is placed on the floor plan.
Alert View
The default view for the Floor Plan displays ongoing alerts for that sensor. A badge in the top corner of the icon will let you know the number and severity of ongoing alerts. The sensor list beside it will also show ongoing alerts.
For more information about the alert,
Click the sensor on the floor plan to open the Details side panel.
Click View Alerts near the bottom.
Signal View
If you'd like to see signal strength use the toggle at the top of the screen to switch to the Signal view. This will display a badge at the top of the sensor icon representing its signal strength, which can help find the optimal position for sensor connections.
Hover over the question mark at the top to see what each symbol means.
Moving your sensors
If you need to update the placement of your sensors, click the Edit button at the top of the page.
Click-and-drag the sensors to their new placement. The position will be saved automatically once placed. Click the Done button at the top when finished to exit the Edit mode.
Finding your sensors
Once placed, the sensors will show on the map as their sensor icons, which can be difficult to distinguish between if you have multiple of the same sensor.
You can find a specific sensor in several ways:
Use the search feature to filter the sensors showing on the floor plan and side panel. Search by sensor type, name, and serial number.
Hovering over the sensor icon on the map will highlight the sensor in the side panel.
Hover over the name in the side panel or click "View on map" to emphasize and expand the icon to the sensor image.
