# Adding Floor Plans in the X‑Guard Management Dashboard

## Guide and steps to correctly upload and use floor plans

With the **X‑Guard Management Dashboard**, administrators can easily upload floor plans of buildings, floors, or outdoor areas. This functionality supports effective safety management and directly contributes to **X‑Guard’s mission: *Everyone, Everywhere Secured.***

### Why floor plans matter

A well-integrated floor plan enables:

- **Quick visual orientation** during incidents.
- **Efficient deployment of emergency responders.**
- **Optimal placement of panic and emergency buttons.**
- **Precise integration of fire alarm components** like manual call points and smoke detectors.
- **Zone creation with meaningful naming** for reporting and navigation.
- **Room fingerprinting**, supporting indoor positioning using beacons or sensors.

### Preparing your floor plan

1. **Clean up the image** – Remove unnecessary logos, borders, and text.
2. **Use one of the supported file formats:**
   
     - PNG
     - JPEG
     - PDF
