Color Coding Floor Plans

Color Code Plan allows you to view a color-coded floor plan which can be very helpful when trying to get a handle on all the data associated with a space. You may color-code any of the data that resides on the database of your floor plans. For example, you can color code for Area Types, Available Space, Income, Lease Expiration, and Options based on data that has already been entered into the database. On retail properties, this list is usually much more extensive and includes sales performance data, etc.

Each type is assigned a range by default. The default settings may be changed for a realistic allocation that your company uses.
