Moving, Removing, Replacing a WorkPoint

  • Updated

EDIT WORKPOINTS - Edit WorkPoints location or assignment

 

The following options are available to edit WorkPoints that are assigned to a FloorPlan

  • 1 - Drag & Drop
  • 2 - Recycle
  • 3 - Remove
  • 4 - Replace with multiple options

1 - Drag & Drop - Move a WorkPoint to a new location, keeping its data, tags, & links

This process is to be used only when the physical attributes of the WorkPoint are not changing. For example, if a person moved their desk into a new configuration (its tags are the same but may be located in a slightly different place on the FloorPlan), you can simply move the WorkPoint to the new location.

  1. Unlock the FloorPlan
  2. Select and Drag the WorkPoint to its new location
  3. Lock the FloorPlan

note: This will not change anything WorkPoint’s data. If you rewind the FloorPlan to a date prior to the move, you'll see the WorkPoint shift to its previous location.  

 

2 - RECYCLE - Use Your WorkPoint in a New Location, and Keep its Original Icon in Place

This process allows you to reuse a WorkPoint on a new area of the FloorPlan. It will detach the existing WorkPoint with the icon and place it back into the Unassigned list of the Hardware Drawer— allowing you to place it into a new location.

  1. Unlock your FloorPlan by clicking the red Lock button at the top of the floor plan
  2. Select the existing WorkPoint on the FloorPlan
  3. In the Selection Box, click the Recycle icon (3 arrows)
  4. Confirm the operation in the dialog box
  5. Expand the Unassigned List in the Hardware Drawer
  6. Press the notification button on the Sensor
  7. Select it from the Unassigned List and drag it onto the new location on the FloorPlan
  8. Proceed to add the proper Tags and Links
  9. Lock the FloorPlan

Note: You can assign this Recycled WorkPoint to another FloorPlan as well. It will appear in any other FloorPlan’s Unassigned Hardware List associated with the WorkPlace

Note: Data will stop loading to the existing WorkPoint unless a new WorkPoint is assigned to it but the icon will remain in its original location - allowing you to select and see old data

3 - REMOVE - Remove a WorkPoint from the FloorPlan

WARNING: This will delete the link to your WorkPoint's data. Removing a WorkPoint from your Floorplan will result in losing your data for this WorkPoint in your analytics.

 

This process removes the WorkPoint & its Icon from a FloorPlan. 

  1. Unlock your FloorPlan by clicking the red Lock button at the top of the FloorPlan
  2. Select the existing WorkPoint on the FloorPlan
  3. In the WorkPoint Info box (top of the screen) click the (-) button to remove
  4. The WorkPoint will go back into the Unassigned List for your WorkPlace

 

4 - REPLACE A SENSOR - Swap out a WorkPoint with a New or Existing WorkPoint

Note: The process is simple yet it can replace (and delete) data so we urge caution and follow the steps exactly as written. When completing this process please notify CoWorkr so they can oversee your work.

 

This tool is to be used when you have a WorkPoint on the FloorPlan whose installed WorkPoint (physical hardware) may have been lost or broken and needs to be replaced. When replacing a WorkPoint with another (new or existing) WorkPoint, the original WorkPoint's information —such as tags and links—will remain. 

 

 

Replace Option 1: Replacing an Existing WorkPoint with a New WorkPoint

Note: You can use any WorkPoint to Replace an existing WorkPoint. In the steps below, we outline the scenario of placing a New WorkPoint on the FloorPlan to replace an existing Old WorkPoint, however, if the WorkPoint is already on the Floor Plan, you can skip to Replacing a Sensor with an Existing Sensor.

1. Unlock your Floor Plan by clicking the Red Lock at the top of the Floor Plan

2. Expand the Hardware Assignments drawer on the left-hand side of the App

3. Select (click) the WorkPoint whose sensor you'd like to replace, this will open the info dialog box at the top of the screen, showing the name and information of the selected WorkPoint

4. Click the notification button on the new Sensor to highlight it in the unassigned list

5. From the unassigned list in the Assignments drawer, drag the new Sensor onto the WorkPoint info dialog box (that popped up in step 3)

6. A confirmation dialog box will pop up, click Replace or Cancel. Once the replacement is done it may take until the next update from the WorkPoint to show the change.

7. Click the Lock button or exit the page if you're done. 

The old sensor will go back into the unassigned list for the project and will no longer load to this WorkPoint. It can be reassigned or used elsewhere as needed.

 

Replace Option 2: Replacing a WorkPoint with an Existing WorkPoint

In this scenario, we replace a WorkPoint with another WorkPoint, both of which are already on the FloorPlan. See the animation below for extra help!

 

  1. Select Your New WorkPoint and Bookmark it by clicking the Bookmark WorkPoint button in the Selection Info box (top of the Floor Plan view)

  2. Select the Old WorkPoint

  3. From the Selection Box, Click and Drag the Bookmarked New WorkPoint (it should appear below the Old WorkPoint in the selection Info box) onto the Old WorkPoint that will remain shown as selected above. 

  4. You will be prompted with a dialog boxing asking how to proceed:

 

Option A: Not Replacing Data

If the check box is not checked, the Old WorkPoint will be removed and replaced but its historical data will remain associated with the WorkPoint up until today. From this point onwards, only the New WorkPoint will collect data.

 

Option B: Replacing Data (checking the box)

If (and only if) a New WorkPoint has been collecting data before it replaced another Old WorkPoint — For Example:  You set up a floorplan with New WorkPoints that were to replace other WorkPoints but you didn't use this tool and the New WorkPoint has since been collecting data—you may want to Replace Data.

The check box "Replace old sensor's overlapping data with current sensor's data" allows you to choose a historical date that will be used for overwriting the Old WorkPoint data with the New WorkPoint data. For example, if both Old and New sensors were online and collecting data during June & July, and if you were to use a date of July 1, all of the old WorkPoint's July data would be overwritten by the New WorkPoint data. The remainder of data from the Old WorkPoint, collected in June, would remain. 

From the point of replacement and on, only the New WorkPoint data will be collected and the Old WorkPoint will be removed from the Floorplan.

 

  5. Click Replace and the Old WorkPoint will be removed and replaced with the New WorkPoint.

 

Note: It may take several seconds for the Old WorkPoint to remove itself. If data is being replaced, it may take up to 48 hours for this to be reflected in the Analytics.
