Before you add a new bay to your planogram, you must specify its parameters in this panel. A preview of the bay to create is displayed in the upper right area.
Note: the preview is displayed with visible edge lines to make each component clearly distinguishable. You can also turn this mode on in the planogram visualization area if you wish (View edges).
Note: the attributes of the bay will be kept for the next time you run the application.
These are parameters for the entire bay to create.
The physical width of the bay in the current measurement unit.
Tip: You don't need to type the actual measurement unit (e.g., cm), only the value.
Radio button
Upon typing a value for this parameter or manually checking the corresponding radio button, Overall height will be constrained to the set value. This way, editing other values such as Number of shelves won't change Overall height, but will automatically adjust Gap between shelves instead.
Tip: Choose Overall height and Number of shelves if you know the bay height.
The physical height of the bay in the current measurement unit.
Tip: You don't need to type the actual measurement unit (e.g., cm), only the value.
Radio button
Upon typing a value for this parameter or manually checking the corresponding radio button, Gap between shelves is constrained to the set value. This way, editing other values such as Number of shelves won't change Gap between shelves, but automatically adjusts Overall height instead.
Tip: Choose Gap between shelves and Number of shelves if the space between each shelf is more important than the overall height of the bay.
Value
The vertical empty space between shelves in the current measurement unit. All shelves are evenly spaced.
Tip: You don't need to type the actual measurement unit (e.g., cm), only the value.
The number of shelves on the bay.
Note: If you checkmarked the radio button next to Gap between shelves, changing the number of shelves influences Overall height. Inversely, if you checkmarked the radio button next to Overall height, changing the number of shelves modifies Gap between shelves.
The color of the structure (Back panel, Side panels).
The color can be specified as follows:
Color text field:
Color swatch:
Note: shelves have a separate color parameter, so you can make the shelves a distinct color than the rest of the bay (Shelf color).
The below parameters apply to the shelves of the bay.
The physical width of the shelves in the current measurement unit.
Tip: You don't need to type the actual measurement unit (e.g., cm), only the value.
The physical height (thickness) of the shelves in the current measurement unit.
Tip: You don't need to type the actual measurement unit (e.g., cm), only the value.
The color of the shelves.
The color can be specified as follows:
Color text field:
Color swatch:
The below parameters apply to the vertical dividing panels of the bay.
Dividing panels let you create pigeon holes bays.
The number of vertical dividing panels in the bay.
The physical width of the dividing panels in the current measurement unit.
Tip: You don't need to type the actual measurement unit (e.g., cm), only the value.
The method to treat intersections between shelves and dividing panels.
Note: You must specify at least 1 shelf and 1 dividing panel to set this parameter.
The below attributes define the back panel of the bay.
Specifies the presence of a rear panel on the bay.
The vertical overhang of the back panel from the upmost shelf. This setting also influences Value.
The below attributes define the side panels of the bay.
Specifies the presence of side panels on the bay.
Note: each of these components is created as a Dividing panel. See description in Dividing panel (New bay components)
The physical width (thickness) of each side panel in the current measurement unit.
Tip: You don't need to type the actual measurement unit (e.g., cm), only the value.
