PlanogramBuilder - User Guide

Version 50 - January 2026

Attention: all users must update PlanogramBuilder before February 28, 2026.

Terminology: the terms Navigation and Camera now use only Camera in the GUI. This applies to all tools, commands and parameters related to manipulating the viewpoint.
A new task named Visualization has been added with two panels:
- View: options and user presets related to planogram display and style. Several existing parameters have been moved here from Settings for convenience.

- Camera: parameters of the current camera viewpoint and management of saved viewpoints. This panel was previously displayed independently of any task. Note that Eye level for Walk has been moved from Settings to this panel.
Schematic View no longer exists as a single toggle. It has been split into two individual toggles for more flexibility and practicality. Turn both ON to obtain boxes with text labels.
- View as boxes: shows all the products and accessories in your project as simple boxes with no product image.
- View labels: displays customizable text labels on products and accessories.
Text on product labels can now display many more product properties and metrics. Consult Columns for the list of available choices.
Product labels can be assigned a new position: Anchor point, which uses Bottom position for products on shelves, and Top position for products on pegs (the anchor point of each product). This results in labels being nicely aligned on all rows. Consult Position (Labels).
For labels placed at Top, their upper edge is now placed below the hook for pegged products. This avoids the hooks impeding label readability.

Products placed on Refrigerated chest or Table top can push other products smoothly along the depth of the shelf.
Text of item tooltips can use any available item property or calculated value, as listed in Columns.
Moving or copying Selected bay components from one bay to another one attaches the components to the destination furniture. Consult Move (Edit bay components) and Copy (Edit bay components).
You can change the type of Bay component using Replace Bay components in an existing bay.

New metrics can be selected to display in the list:
- Facings front: the quantity of each product seen from the front.
- Depth id: the order of each product from front to rear of the shelf.
Selecting the contents to display in the list is now done from a new selection dialog. Consult Content choice (Project item list).
Double-clicking on a product or accessory in the list sets Item Info as the current task. Consult Mouse & keyboard shortcuts.

The number of images can be defined freely both for Project pictures and Bay pictures. Consult Managing report pictures.
For each image, the camera orientation and various view toggles can be configured. Consult Properties (Report pictures).
A new automatic camera orientation is available for Bay pictures, aiming to make the products most visible depending on each type of furniture. Consult Camera parameters (Report pictures).

In Project analysis, you can now define custom metrics which combine a primary and a scaling metric, for example to calculate sales revenue per linear space. Consult Custom metrics (Project analysis). Defined metrics are then available as columns in Project item list or as text on labels.

It is now possible to import your custom 3D models of Bay component and Room element.
The maximum number of custom properties for items in the database has been increased to 20. Consult Item custom properties (Settings).
Selecting the contents to display in the database list is now done from a new selection dialog. Consult Choose columns (Database item list).
The EXIF orientation tag of uploaded images is now properly applied.

When a major update of PlanogramBuilder is required, you can now postpone installation until a fixed deadline. This lets you use the previous version until your IT installs the updated version.
The Tutorial button (consult Screen Layout) now links directly to video tutorials in the language set in settings.
