Getting Started with GIS~

A quick setup guide for first-time AoT GIS users. Follow these steps to have a map displaying your device locations within 10 minutes.

Prerequisites~

  • AoT installed and logged in with an admin account
  • At least one Input device registered (a map can be created without devices)

Step 1: Global GIS Settings~

Go to Settings → Map (/geo/design) and click the Settings button below the page title to open the GIS Settings window. The old address /geo/setting only redirects to this page.

Set Default Location~

  1. Before opening the window, move the map to the location and zoom you want as the default (you can also type an address in the search bar).
  2. In the window, click Get Location under Default Start Location to fill in Latitude, Longitude and Zoom Level from the current view. You can also type the values.
  3. Click Save.

Theme Colors (Optional)~

Change the per-layer colors under Design Theme Settings.

Element Default Description
Site Color Red tones Site boundary color
Zone Color Green tones Zone color
Facility Color Gray Facility building color
Equipment Color Blue tones Equipment color
Device Color Purple tones AoT device marker color

Step 2: Register a Map Layer (Optional)~

If you need aerial imagery or a domestic map beyond the default OSM, register a GIS layer.

Navigate to Settings → GIS Input or go to /geo/layer.

Example: Adding VWorld (Korean cadastral map/aerial):

  1. Select VWorld from the Select GIS Service dropdown at the top of the page.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Click the Settings (gear) icon on the newly created item.
  4. Enter your VWorld API key and save.
  5. Click Activate to enable it.

See GIS Layer Management for details.

Step 3: Create Your First Map Design~

Navigate to Settings → Map or go to /geo/design.

Create a New Map~

  1. In Map Design, choose Create New Map from the map dropdown; the new map is created right away.
  2. Click Edit to rename the map.

Draw a Site Boundary~

  1. Select Site mode in the mode tabs below the map.
  2. Pick the polygon tool from the drawing tools.
  3. Click on the map to place vertices; connect the last point to the first to complete the polygon.
  4. Enter the site name in the property panel. Shapes are saved automatically as you draw.

Faster option — use VWorld parcel import:

  1. In the Site settings drawer, click Search next to Add from Address.
  2. Type an address and click Search.
  3. Check the parcels found in the preview.
  4. Click Save as Site.

Set Up Zones~

  1. Switch to Zone mode.
  2. Draw a zone polygon inside the site.
  3. Enter the zone name (e.g., "Block 1", "Growing Zone A").

Step 4: Place Devices~

  1. Switch to the device mode (A) in the mode tabs.
  2. Under Device kind, pick Input, Output, Function or Device, then click Open next to Selection list.
  3. Turn on the switch of the device you want to place; its marker appears at the center of the current map view.
  4. Drag the marker to where the device is physically located. The new position is saved automatically.

See Design Tool — Device mode for details.

Step 5: Add a Dashboard Widget~

  1. Go to the dashboard.
  2. Select Add Widget → AoT Map.
  3. In the widget settings, pick the map created in Step 3 under Select Map.
  4. Click Save.

Device markers will appear on the map. Clicking a marker shows real-time values and a control switch.
