This section describes each of the components in detail and explains the importing process.

The only way to configure XYZ-related data elements in ProTrack Warehouse is by building an import file, and importing the elements one at a time. This section refers to the spreadsheet, "SOP for XYZ Importing.xls". This is the official document containing import templates for each XYZ component. Each tab of the workbook must be completed prior to importing the data elements.

Coordinate System Origin - Coordinate values cannot be negative, thus the origin should be set with large enough to allow floors to grow in any direction. For example, the origin could be treated as (1000, 1000). When viewing a facility's layout in ProTrack Warehouse using the Facility Layout Java applet, the coordinate system axes are orientated such that the x-axis points to the right and the y-axis points downward. In other words, the x-coordinates ascend as you move to the right and the y-coordinates ascend as you move downward.

Location Data Element Naming Conventions - It is recommended that the following naming conventions be followed to so that the user easily knows where the data element is located on the Facility Layout.
