Setup workflow

A typical Indoor Location setup has 6 steps:

  • Site creation
  • Map import
  • Navigation walkways creation
  • Beacon deployment
  • Calibration and Positioning Database (PDB) generation
  • PDB publication (making it avalable for mobile SDK consumption)

Resources and their relationships

You will be interacting with the following resources: users, sites, deployment sessions, buildings, floors, graphs, beacons, API keys, PDB publications.

Resource structure
userhas many sites
sitehas many deployment sessions
deployment sessionhas many buildings
buildinghas many floors
deployment sessionhas one graph
sitehas many beacons
sitehas many API keys
API key of a sitehas many PDB publications

Note: A deployment session represents a version of the building’s maps and navigation graph
