Configuring Visual Inventory
Locations are positioned on the visual inventory 3D model using a Cartesian
coordinate system. Locations are shown in Visual Inventory based on these location
configurations:
- X Coordinate
- The X Coordinate of the location. The X Coordinate increases as you move left to right on the screen.
- Y Coordinate
- The Y Coordinate of the
location. The Y Coordinate increases as you move from bottom to top on the screen.
The X and Y coordinates determine where the front center of the location is on the model. The units should be the same as the units used for item configuration and the location height, width, and length.
- Z Coordinate
- The Z Coordinate of the location. The Z coordinate is used to specify how high up off the floor the location is.
- Length
- Length of the location. This specifies how far back the location extends from its XYZ coordinate. The direction it extends is based on the Orientation as described below.
- Width
- Width of the location. The location’s width is centered on the XYZ coordinate, extending out in both directions.
- Height
- Height of the location. The location is drawn of the Height specified starting from the Z coordinate.
- Level
- The level of the location. Locations on the ground level are of value 0 and the value increases as you go up the level.
- Orientation
- The Orientation determines the direction that the location points. It is the direction that you access inventory from the location. This field is configured as the number of degrees such as on a compass. For example, 0 is for a location where you access inventory toward the top of the map. In this case, the location is drawn below it, 90 degrees is for locations where inventory is accessed on the right side of the location and the location is drawn to the left, 180 degrees points to the bottom of the map, and 270 degrees is for locations that face to the left. In each case, the X/Y coordinate determines where the front/center of the location is at, and the remainder of the location is drawn behind it.
