IT Expert subscribers and trial users can model rooms and racks using basic floor and rack editors in IT Expert.   The Floor layout option is available to all users to manage the location hierarchy. No other floor layout features are available without a subscription, including assigning genomes to devices. Note: If you set up floor layouts during a trial but did not purchase a subscription, you can view the previews only.     To model your organization:   Create locations. Move devices into locations. Associate genomes with devices if necessary. Use the floor editor to create rows and racks and to place floor mounted devices in the model. Use the rack editor to place devices in a rack in the model.   Floor layout overview   Floor layout page shows tiles for all the rooms in the selected location. Each tile includes a thumbnail of the floor view when at least one row or rack is configured and the number of racks and devices in the room.   Click Select in a room tile or select a room in the location hierarchy to see the 2D or 3D room preview when there is at least one asset in the room. Click and hold, then move the cursor in 3D view to see the room from different perspectives.   Click Open in editor or click the editor icon in the location hierarchy to access the room editor.             Icons      -  Group      -  Site       -  Building       -  Room           - Click to open the room or rack editor     - Click to zoom to a row, rack, or device        - Device not yet placed on the room floor         - Device not yet placed in a rack        - Missing genome     About locations   Create or edit locations   Click the toggle to create or edit locations. You can create groups, sites, buildings, and rooms. Note: You create rows and racks in the floor editor.   Click the pencil icon to edit or delete an existing location. Click the plus icon to add a location.     When you delete a location, all its sublocations move up to the level above the deleted location. For example, if you delete a location that is directly under All locations, any sublocations will move into All locations.   How to create locations in IT Expert      Move devices into locations   Click the toggle edit to locations. Select the device(s) you want to move. Click Move x devices. Select the location and then click Move.     About genomes   The floor layout in IT Expert uses the same Genome Library as IT Advisor. At this time, you cannot import your genomes or other data from IT Advisor into IT Expert.   What is a genome? A genome defines the physical properties of a device, such as dimensions or power requirements.     Select a location to see the rooms for that location. Open the floor editor. The devices that do not have genomes assigned are indicated by the missing genome icon.         You can check the box next to Missing genomes to easily see the devices wihout genomes.       Genomes must be assigned to devices before they can be placed in the floor or rack editor.  IT Expert matches discovered devices to their genomes whenever possible. You can manually assign a genome to a device if necessary.   Click the Missing genome icon next to a device.   Select the device to assign a genome. You can assign a genomes to one or more of the same model device.  Select the appropriate genome. You can filter the list to narrow the selection. View the device properties of the genome and Confirm.       About the floor editor   Click Select in a room tlle or click the editor icon in the location hierarchy to open the floor editor.     Filter   Filter the list of assets by one or more options: Unplaced floor mountable devices (default) Unplaced rack mountable devices Missing genome   Hover over an asset in the hierarchy to zoom to it.          Tools in the floor editor   Select a tool on the left side of the page to create and view the model.      - Select   Click an unplaced row or rack in the list and drag it to the floor. Snap it to the grid, and click to place.   Move items on the floor. Move racks into rows.       - Pan   Move the floor to better view it.    - Create   Create a row or rack. The row or rack sticks to the cursor. Snap it to the grid, and click to place.    - Undo  - Redo   Undo or redo your last action     Zoom   Zoom in, out, and to fit      History   View the history of changes       Select a rack and right click to access options:   Edit properties Unplace Open in rack editor Delete   Floor editor properties   View and edit the properties on the right of the page for the selected room, row, rack, or other asset.      - Information   General information about the selection such as model and manufacturer    -  Physical   Physical properties for the selection such as dimensions Select Edit properties to change the genome for the rack if needed.    - Rack preview   Opens the rack preview when a rack is selected in the list       About the rack editor   Select a rack in the location hierarchy to see a preview.   Launch the rack editor from the editor icon     or click Open in editor in the rack preview.   Hover over an asset in the hierarchy to zoom to it.             Filter   Filter the list of assets by one or more options: Unplaced floor mountable devices (default) Unplaced rack mountable devices Missing genome   Create server   For modeling purposes only, you can create servers in the rack editor that are not discovered by an EcoStruxure IT Gateway. All other device types must be discovered by a Gateway to be modeled.   Servers created in the rack editor using a genome are not monitored by IT Expert.   To create a server:   Select the rack where you want to place the server. Click the Create tool.   Select Server. Search for and select the genome for the server. Click Create. Drag the server to place it in the rack.   You can model front and rear rack positions. Depth is not considered at this time; only one device can be placed per U position.       Tools in the rack editor   Select a tool on the left of the page to create and view the model.      - Select   Click a rack or server in the list to view its properties.    - Create   Create a server.  Snap it to the grid, and click to place.   Note: Servers created in the rack editor using a genome are not monitored by IT Expert.    - Undo  - Redo   Undo or redo your last action      History   View the history of changes     Right click the rack to access options:   Edit properties Unplace   Rack editor properties   View and edit the properties for the selected rack or other asset on the right of the page.      - Information   General information about the selection such as model, manufacturer    -  Physical   Physical properties for the selection such as dimensions.   Change the U order for the rack. Default rack U order is decending order.   Change the genome for the rack if needed.
