Visualization area

The visualization area is where you see the planogram visual representation.

Note that you can also view the contents of your project as a list in Project item list.

Tip: this area can be resized by grabbing and dragging its borders with the mouse.

Tasks

The application is organized in several tasks, accessible from the task tabs. Each task has its own content related to a specific planogramming task, for example working with shelving or managing your product database.

Pane of current task

The pane for the current task is located on the left of the screen.

It includes task-related parameters and information which vary depending on the current task and the selected elements.

Some task panes also include a specific toolbar related to the task at hand.

Tip: most panes can be resized by grabbing and dragging their borders with the mouse.

Toolbars

There are several toolbars on the work screen. Most toolbars are displayed in all tasks so you can always edit your planogram. Each toolbar contains buttons for tools, commands and/or toggles to work on Planograms.

Toolbar buttons

Each button is shown as:

Note: If you have a low-resolution screen or if you have set a high display scale in Windows, displaying the captions may prevent all the buttons to fit on your screen. In such case, some toolbars become scrollable to give access to the hidden buttons, but we rather advise turning off captions for ideal comfort.

Tip: Hover your mouse cursor over any button to display a tooltip with:

Main Menu

The main menu gives access to tools and commands organized by theme.

The content of the menu reflects the content of the toolbars.

You can access the main menu with two methods, both with the exact same menu items:

Top Menu

This menu is located on the top of the application window and displayed as a menu bar with its first-level sections always visible.
