What You'll Learn: This article outlines how to connect your Locatrix account to Uptick, upload floorplans, and clarifies where the floorplan images and asset icons originate from.
Customers can integrate their Locatrix account with Uptick, allowing for floor plans hosted in Locatrix to be uploaded directly to a property in Uptick. If you don't have a Locatrix account and are interested in their services for digitally illustrated floorplans, you can get started by visiting their website.
This article outlines the required configuration steps to get your Locatrix integration up and running.
Connecting Locatrix to Uptick
Click the menu icon in the upper-left corner and select API Keys.
Click Create New.
Select the Partner from the drop-down list and provide an appropriate Name for this API key, then click Save.
Your API Key and API Secret will be displayed.
Note: Make sure to copy these credentials before clicking Close, as you will not be able to view the secret again. If you close the window before copying the details, you will need to create a new API key.
In the Uptick Web Platform, navigate to Control Panel > Integrations > Locatrix.
Enter the credentials you just copied into the respective fields:
Locatrix Client API Key: Paste the API Key from step 5.
Locatrix Client API Secret: Paste the API Secret from step 5.
Click Test connection. A successful connection will display a search field, allowing you to find your floorplans hosted in Locatrix.
Uploading floorplans from Locatrix
From a Property page in the Uptick Web Platform, click Assets > Floorplans > Add Level.
Provide a Name for the level (e.g., "Ground Floor") and click Create.
Click Upload floor plan > Locatrix and search for the desired floor plan.
Select the floor plan from the search results and wait for it to import. This may take up to a minute depending on the file size.
Once the import is complete, follow the remaining steps as outlined in our Floorplans article (from Step 4 onwards) to place beacons and assets.
Changing an existing floorplan
Select the level you wish to update.
Click Edit Level at the top of the floorplan image.
Follow the process from Step 3 in the "Uploading floorplans from Locatrix" section above.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are the asset icons hosted on Locatrix?
No. The Locatrix integration provides access to the floor plan images that are illustrated and hosted on their service. However, the asset icons that are placed over the floor plan are provided by and managed within Uptick.
