Parameters (Create bays)
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.
Parameters of the whole bay (Create bays)
These are parameters for the entire bay to create.
Overall width (Create bays)
The physical width of the bay in the current measurement unit.
- Supported values: positive numeric value [0-9 and decimal point]
- Default value: 120 cm (or equivalent according to Measurement unit)
- Example: 240
Tip: You don't need to type the actual measurement unit (e.g., cm), only the value.
Overall height (Create bays)
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.
- Supported values: positive numeric value [0-9 and decimal point]
- Default value: 200 cm (or equivalent according to Measurement unit)
- Example: 180
Tip: You don't need to type the actual measurement unit (e.g., cm), only the value.
Gap between shelves
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.
- Supported values: positive numeric value [0-9 and decimal point]
- Default value: 40 cm (or equivalent according to Measurement unit)
- Example: 37.5
Tip: You don't need to type the actual measurement unit (e.g., cm), only the value.
Number of shelves
The number of shelves on the bay.
- Supported values: positive numeric value [0-9]
- Default value: 4
- Example: 0
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.
Main color
The color of the structure (Back panel, Side panels).
The color can be specified as follows:
Color text field:
- Supported values: HTML color codes (with or without the # prefix, not case-sensitive). Complete reference of theses HTML color codes can be found for example at:
- Default value: #CCCCCC (light gray)
- Example: FF8000 (orange)
Color swatch:
- Click on the color swatch next to Color to display the color palette.
- Select the desired color.
- Click OK.
Note: shelves have a separate color parameter, so you can make the shelves a distinct color than the rest of the bay (Shelf color).
Shelf parameters (Create bays)
The below parameters apply to the shelves of the bay.
Shelf width
The physical width of the shelves in the current measurement unit.
- Supported values: positive numeric value [0-9 and decimal point]
- Default value: 200 cm (or equivalent according to Measurement unit)
- Example: 180
Tip: You don't need to type the actual measurement unit (e.g., cm), only the value.
Shelf height
The physical height (thickness) of the shelves in the current measurement unit.
- Supported values: positive numeric value [0-9 and decimal point]
- Default value: 2 cm (or equivalent according to Measurement unit)
- Example: 2.54
Tip: You don't need to type the actual measurement unit (e.g., cm), only the value.
Shelf color
The color of the shelves.
The color can be specified as follows:
Color text field:
- Supported values: HTML color codes (with or without the # prefix, not case-sensitive). Complete reference of theses HTML color codes can be found for example at:
- Default value: #CCCCCC (light gray)
- Example: FF8000 (orange)
Color swatch:
- Click on the color swatch next to Color to display the color palette.
- Select the desired color.
- Click OK.
Parameters of Dividing panel (Create bays)
The below parameters apply to the vertical dividing panels of the bay.
Dividing panels let you create pigeon holes bays.
Number of dividing panels
The number of vertical dividing panels in the bay.
- Supported values: positive numeric value [0-9]
- Default value: 0
- Example: 12
Dividing panel width
The physical width of the dividing panels in the current measurement unit.
- Supported values: positive numeric value [0-9 and decimal point]
- Default value: 2 cm (or equivalent according to Measurement unit)
- Example: 3.5
Tip: You don't need to type the actual measurement unit (e.g., cm), only the value.
Intersections of dividing panels / shelves
The method to treat intersections between shelves and dividing panels.
- Supported values:
-
- Split shelves: at each intersection, the shelf is split while the dividing panel remains in 1 piece.
- Split dividing panels: at each intersection, the dividing panel is split while the shelf remains in 1 piece.
- No splitting: at each intersection, the dividing panel and the shelf remain in 1 piece.
- Default value: Split shelves
Note: You must specify at least 1 shelf and 1 dividing panel to set this parameter.
Back panel parameters (Create bays)
The below attributes define the back panel of the bay.
Back panel (Create bays)
Specifies the presence of a rear panel on the bay.
- Supported values:
- Checkmarked: the bay will have a back panel.
- Not checkmarked: the bay will not have a back panel.
- Default value: Checkmarked
Back panel top overhang
The vertical overhang of the back panel from the upmost shelf. This setting also influences Value.
- Supported values: positive numeric value [0-9 and decimal point]
- Default value: 20 cm (or equivalent according to Measurement unit)
- Example: 45
Side panels parameters
The below attributes define the side panels of the bay.
Side panels
Specifies the presence of side panels on the bay.
- Supported values:
- Checkmarked: the bay will have a back panel.
- Not checkmarked: the bay will not have a back panel.
- Default value: Not checkmarked
Note: each of these components is created as a Dividing panel. See description in Dividing panel (New bay components)
Side panel width
The physical width (thickness) of each side panel in the current measurement unit.
- Supported values: positive numeric value [0-9 and decimal point]
- Default value: 2 cm (or equivalent according to Measurement unit)
- Example: 3.6
Tip: You don't need to type the actual measurement unit (e.g., cm), only the value.
