Zone Filters

9 Minute Read

| Overview

The Zone Filters & Zone Appearance enhancement introduces predefined filters and configurable zone tile appearance settings to simplify floor-plan visualization across Portal and Mobile applications.

The feature provides two predefined filters—Temperature Light and RSSI—along with user-configurable Zone Appearance settings for tile opacity and Zone Name visibility.

The enhancement is designed to improve information readability without changing the underlying zone data, temperature-band logic, or existing custom-filter behavior.

• Log into the Facilisight portal.

The following heatmap page will display:
