This view is focused on enabling quick resolution of AP issues and therefore disables many RF objects by
default as follows:
 Users - only users associated with radios within access point of focus are displayed
 APs - only the access point in focus is displayed
 Radios - the heatmap represents all radios within the access point of focus
 Rogues - all rogues are off
 Client/Rogue Surveys - all surveys are off
 Walls - all walls on displayed
 Lines - client to AP of association are displayed
 Labels - all labels are disabled

Field Description
Campus Campus associated to the floor.
Building Building associated to the floor.
Floor Floor number. The decimal place can be used for mezzanine levels.
Name Optional name of a floor. (If the name is not changed, it displays the name as Floor [Number] by default.)
Size The height and width in feet of the floor plan, including white space.
Grid Cell Size The size of the grid cells, in feet.
# of APs The number of access points on the floor.
# of Radios The number of radios associated with access points on the floor
# of Users The number of wireless users associated with access points on the floor.
NOTE: Locating users consumes significant VisualRF resources. A floor with hundreds or thousands of
clients can take a long time to process.
# of Rogues The number of rogue devices heard by access points on the floor. This number reflects the filters
configured on the VisualRF > Setup. This means that while APs on the floor might hear more rogue devices,
they are being filtered because of weak signal, they haven't been heard recently, or they are ad-hoc.
File Size The floor plan background or image reported, in kilobytes. The larger the file, the longer it will take to
render in the canvas.
