What is “View by” on a live data floor plan?
Toggle between different Space or Comfort data views, that are relevant to your floor. Specific views are only available for a floor if data is available.
In/out traffic & Total traffic view
To obtain traffic data, a sensor like Pointgrab or Xovis needs to be configured in footfall mode, , or push traffic data to Workplace using our Generic Endpoint, see External Data Sources.
Footfall mode provides information on how many people cross a(n imaginary) line in one direction (footfall in) and in another direction (footfall out).
This data we see on the live floor plan View By as
- In/out traffic: Footfall IN and Footfall OUT values
- Total traffic: sum of in + out traffic details
The above values are reset at midnight local time.
The difference between the IN and OUT values indicate how many people are still inside the location. This value can be visualized through View By Space Utilization.
FAQ
Is it possible to track footfall data on multiple entries to a location ?
When different footfall sensors are installed at different entrances for the same location (multiple data streams arriving at 1 location in the Workplace platform), then footfall data (and derived utilization data) will be based on the sum and/or subtraction of the data from all footfall sensors.
