Mr Prem enquired on :

  • the report generation feature of our system: is there are any other options allowed for the report other than just printing it?

Allen explained to him that 1 report is tagged to 1 floorplan. When the report is generated by the application, the user has an option to save and print the report. The report will be saved as .pdf format and tagged to the floorplan. When the user uploads the floorplan again, the report will also be loaded.

  • 1 floorplan should be able to have many copies of the report.

A few copies of the report means that the floorplan has changes in every report. Since each of the report generated is tagged to the floorplan, we have decided to stick with our decision that 1 floorplan saved into the system will have 1 report. When a user loads an existing floorplan and edit changes, the floorplan will be saved as a new item.

  • floorplans versions and reports : are current floorplans / reports related to previous?

No, as we have employed the method stated above.

  • Mr Prem was informed that the accessor, Mr Tham had asked whether the items in the floorplan will be allowed to repositioned as the users want it. Mr Prem informed that this is a important hint given by the accessor.

Items in the floorplan will not be able to be repositioned in our current application. This is because for now, we are using a drop down menu to allow users to select the items they will be putting in the area.

  • We are also not very sure on how to implement this interactive function to allow users to reposition the items themselves. Mr Prem suggested that we can convert the area into tiles, and the tiles are based on exact locations in the frame. Mr Prem also mentioned that the steps to save the flowplan should be as below :

draw -> save as frame -> superimposed view -> save as floorplan

  • Version 1 of the application is to be ready in 2 weeks. Mr Prem wants to see the working application with the overall flow of the application and actual layout for user usage.
