After saving, you can resize and move the selection box to match the exact boundaries of the space on the map.

  • Move: Click on the shape, hold down and drag
  • Resize: Mouse over the borders, your cursor will change (from a hand to a double arrow), click, hold down and drag

Step 5: Repeat for additional spaces

Repeat the process: Repeat the same process for each additional space you need to create on the map.

Tips:

  • To quickly duplicate a space, right-click on the existing one and select Copy. Then, right-click on the desired location on the map and choose Paste. This will create a space with identical dimensions.

  • To rotate the shape, right-click on it, select Configuration, adjust the Rotation value (e.g., use 90 or 270 to display the text vertically), and click Save.

Once all spaces are defined and configured, review the map to ensure everything is correctly placed and labeled.

 

By following these steps, you can successfully upload and configure a new map in Ronspot, ensuring your workspace or parking area is ready for efficient management.
