Plan · Maps

Your floor plan, or any drawing, coloured by your data

Facilities, retail and production teams think in places: which meeting rooms are full, which store departments sell, which stations on a line stop most. The built-in maps need geography and map tiles, and a floor plan has neither. The free option most people use loads maps from a web address, and map visuals that fetch tiles or files can’t be certified, so many tenants block them.

What it shows

You give Plan a drawing as an SVG: a floor plan, a store layout, a machine or a body map, exported from Visio, Illustrator, Inkscape or a CAD tool. Every shape whose name matches a value in your data takes its colour from your measure, on a gradient from pale to dark blue, with the name and value written inside where they fit. Names match the way drawing tools write them: “Meeting 1”, “meeting_1”, “Meeting-1” and Illustrator’s “Meeting_x20_1” are the same room. The drawing is saved in the report. A drawing can’t run code or load files: Plan rebuilds it from its shapes and leaves out scripts, links and anything that points outside it. In Pro, each floor or site can have its own drawing in your data, so a floor slicer switches the map; areas can be coloured by % of target or in bands with your own limits; and a measure can give the colour directly, for statuses such as closed or out of order.

How to set it up

Add Plan from AppSource or the .pbiviz file, then drag in:

Area
The column with the area names, the same as the shape ids or layer names in the drawing.
Value
The measure that colours each area, such as occupancy or sales.
TargetPro
A target per area, to colour by % of target.
ColourPro
A measure that returns a colour such as “#c05621” per area, for statuses.
MapPro
A text column holding each floor’s SVG, filtered to one floor by a slicer.
Tooltips
Optional: more measures to show on hover.

In the report

  • Click an area to filter the page, Ctrl+click for more; the others fade. It highlights the areas another visual picks, and has the usual right-click menu.
  • Scroll to zoom, drag to move, double-click to see the whole drawing again; labels keep their size on screen.
  • Tab into the map, move between areas with the arrow keys and select with Enter.
  • Light or dark background, high-contrast mode, and your own colours.
  • Numbers follow your measure’s format; the format pane and the messages are in English and Norwegian.

Free features always work, with no key and no tag. Pro features need a licence key for Plan or Everything. Without a valid key, Plan uses the saved drawing and colours by Value on a gradient, with a short notice and a “Try Pro free” button. A paid key keeps Pro working for 7 days after it runs out, so a late renewal never breaks a report.

Your data stays in your report

Plan makes no network calls and stores nothing outside the report. The licence key is checked inside the visual, so it also works offline, in Report Server and in locked-down tenants.
