The process of configuration of XYZs XYZs involves importing several types of elements, as defined below:

1. Import Floors Floors
2. Import Aisle Paths and Travel Paths
3. Generate Node
4. Import Segments
5. Import Locations
6. Generate cache

Floors
A Floor ProTrack Warehouse is simply the building's floor level (e.g. "first floor", "second floor", etc).

Aisle Paths & Travel Paths These are the defined paths on which associates can travel around the building. These are simply lines having start and end points which intersect to create the map on which travel is permitted. Travel Paths differ from Aisle Paths Paths in that they serve the special purpose of interconnecting floors.

Nodes are generated at each intersection and end point of Aisle and Travel Paths. These are used ProTrack Warehouse dynamic travel calculation engine.

Segments represent the physical racking in which locations reside. Segments are built relative to Aisle Paths, and create a nice visual view of the warehouse rack configuration when viewing the Facility Layout viewer in ProTrack Warehouse. All locations, even miscellaneous drop points, must be configured inside a Segment.

Locations & Levels Locations are imported last and represent the various places an associate travels. Locations are specified as (x,y) coordinates. Levels are the various z heights within each location. A four-shelf rack with levels labeled as letters would typically have 5 levels: floor level (A), 1st shelf (B), 2nd shelf (C), 3rd shelf (D), and 4th shelf (E).
