Use layers to color the map

🗺️ Color every room on a floor by its category, its room number or any field your organization keeps on spaces, and switch the outdoor map to satellite. Works on a computer and on a phone.

Open the Layers menu

Click the Layers button at the top right of the map. On a phone the same menu also holds Map interactions: tilt, center, distance and area measurement, and fullscreen.

Switch to the satellite map

Under Map type, choose Default or Satellite. The choice shows on the outdoor map; inside a building you see the floor plan either way.

Color a floor with a data layer

  1. Open a building and pick a floor. Data layers need a floor; the menu says so when a building or a floor is missing.

  2. Under Data Layers, choose Room number, Room category or one of your organization's space fields.

  3. Every space on the floor takes the color of its value, and the menu turns into a legend: each value, its color and how many spaces have it.

Point at a value in the legend to see only those spaces. Click the arrow at the top of the legend to turn the layer off; changing floor turns it off too.

💡 Up to eight values get a color of their own and the rest are grouped as Other. Spaces without a value are No value. When every space has a different value, the layer shows only Has value and No value.

Use your own data fields as layers

Room number and room category are built in. Every other option is a field your organization has added to spaces under Organization settings, Data fields. See How Vyer is organised: sites, buildings, floors, spaces, assets for what a field is.

Export the colored floor plan

With a data layer on, PDF export in the toolbar's More options menu offers Include map layers, so the colors and the legend go into the PDF.

If it doesn't work

Data Layers shows an info icon and no fields

No floor is selected. Open a building and pick a floor first.

Map type is missing from the menu

A data layer is on. Turn it off with the arrow at the top of the legend and Map type comes back.
