Site & Map Setup

Create sites, upload floor plans, place devices, and document your infrastructure.

Creating Sites

A site in Atlas represents a physical location — a school campus, an office building, a data center, or any facility where you have IT infrastructure. Each site has its own map and its own set of devices, cables, routes, and zones.

Adding a New Site

Open Settings and go to Site Settings. Click the + New Site button in the toolbar. Enter the site name and click Save. The site will appear in your site dropdown immediately.

Site Limits

Your plan includes 5 sites. Additional sites can be added in packs of 5 through your subscription. The current count is displayed in the Site Settings toolbar as (X/Y). When the limit is reached, the "+ New Site" button is disabled.

Reordering Sites

Click the reorder button (arrows icon) in the Site Settings toolbar. Drag and drop sites into your preferred order. The order is reflected in the site dropdown on the main dashboard.

Deleting a Site

In Site Settings, select the site you want to delete, then click the delete button. This permanently removes the site and all of its devices, cables, routes, zones, and history. This action cannot be undone.

Uploading Maps

Each site can have one map image — typically a floor plan, campus map, or building layout. Atlas supports SVG, PNG, JPG, and WebP formats.

Uploading a Map

Open Settings, go to Site Settings, select a site, and click the map upload area (or drag and drop a file). The map will be uploaded to secure cloud storage and displayed as the background for that site.

Replacing a Map

Upload a new file to the same site. The previous map will be replaced. Device positions are preserved — you may need to adjust them if the new map has a different layout or scale.

Device Size

If device markers appear too large or too small relative to your map, adjust the Device Size slider in Site Settings. This scales all markers, cables, and routes for the selected site.

Map Profiles

Map profiles control which types of devices, cables, routes, and zones are available on a site. This lets you create focused views — for example, an "IT Infrastructure" profile showing only network equipment, or a "Safety" profile showing only fire and emergency equipment.

Default Profiles

Atlas comes with three default profiles: All (every built-in type), IT Infrastructure (network and tech devices), and Safety & Evacuation (safety devices, routes, and zones). New sites are automatically assigned the "All" profile.

Creating a Profile

Open Settings and go to Map Profiles. Click + Add, enter a name, and use the checkboxes to select which device types, cable types, route types, and zone types should be included. Click Save.

Assigning a Profile to a Site

In Site Settings, select a site and use the Map Profile dropdown to assign a profile. The sidebar, type pickers, and placed items will all reflect the active profile.

Placing Devices

Devices are the primary objects on your map — access points, cameras, switches, IDF cabinets, and any other infrastructure you want to track.

Adding a Device

1. Click the Add Device button in the sidebar.
2. Select a device type from the picker.
3. Click anywhere on the map to place the device. A colored marker will appear at that position.
4. The detail panel opens automatically so you can fill in the device's fields (name, model, IP address, notes, etc.).

Multi-Place Mode

Toggle the multi-place switch at the top of the device picker to place multiple devices of the same type without re-opening the picker. Click the map repeatedly to place each one. Press Escape or click Cancel to stop.

Moving a Device

Click and drag any device marker to reposition it on the map.

Deleting a Device

Click a device to open its detail panel, then click the Delete button at the bottom of the panel.

Device Details

Click any device marker to open the detail panel on the right side of the screen. Here you can view and edit all of the device's fields.

Built-in Fields

Each device type comes with a set of fields appropriate to that type. For example, an Access Point has fields for Name, Model, IP Address, MAC Address, SSID, and more. A Switch has fields for Name, Model, IP Address, Number of Ports, and others.

Container Devices

Some device types are containers — they hold other devices inside them. IDF Cabinets and Server Racks can contain switches, servers, and UPS units. Device Carts can contain any device type configured via the Embedded Device field. Contained devices appear as collapsible cards inside the container's detail panel.

MDF Designation

IDF Cabinets and Server Racks can be marked as the MDF (Main Distribution Frame). MDF-designated devices display a distinctive square marker with a gold border on the map, making them easy to identify at a glance.

Device History

Atlas tracks a history of changes for every device. Scroll to the bottom of the detail panel to see the audit log showing who made each change and when.

Drawing Cables

Cables represent physical cabling runs between locations on your map.

Drawing a Cable

1. Click the Draw Cable button in the sidebar.
2. Select a cable type (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Fiber SM, Fiber MM, or a custom type).
3. Click on the map to place each point of the cable run. Each click adds a node.
4. Double-click to finish the cable.

Snap to Device

While drawing, click directly on a device marker to snap the cable endpoint to that device's center. If you snap to a second device, the cable automatically finishes.

Straight-Line Drawing

Hold Shift while drawing to constrain each segment to 45-degree angle increments. This is useful for creating clean, grid-aligned cable runs.

Cable Quantity

After drawing a cable, open its detail panel and set the # of Cables/Strands field. A white pill-shaped bubble will appear at the cable's midpoint showing the quantity.

Cable Photos

You can attach photos to individual nodes along a cable run. Click a cable node to open the photo panel, then upload images of the cable at that location.

Drawing Routes

Routes are directional paths shown on the map — typically used for evacuation routes but available for any directional path you need to document.

Drawing a Route

1. Click the Draw Route button in the sidebar.
2. Select a route type (Evacuation Route or a custom type).
3. Click on the map to place each waypoint. Directional arrows appear along the path.
4. Double-click to finish the route.

Routes support the same Shift-to-snap feature as cables for 45-degree constrained drawing.

Drawing Zones

Zones are rectangular areas on the map used to designate regions — rendezvous points, construction areas, or any defined area you need to highlight.

Drawing a Zone

1. Click the Draw Zone button in the sidebar.
2. Select a zone type (Rendezvous Zone, Construction Zone, or a custom type).
3. Click and drag on the map to draw the rectangular area.

Zones can be resized by dragging their edges and repositioned by dragging from the center.

Visibility Toggles

The sidebar contains a Layers section with collapsible groups for Devices, Cables, Routes, and Zones. Each type within these groups has a visibility toggle (eye icon) that shows or hides all items of that type on the map.

Visibility toggles are per-session — they reset when you reload the page. They respect the active map profile, so only types included in the current profile appear in the list.

Exporting & Printing

Atlas supports exporting your infrastructure data and printing map views.

XLSX Export

Click the Export button in the topbar to download a spreadsheet of all devices, cables, routes, and zones for the current site. The export includes all field data, positions, and metadata.

Map Print

Click Print Map in the export panel to generate a printable view of the current map with all visible devices, cables, routes, and zones. The print view includes the site name and active map profile name as the header.
