What is Venue Map?

The venue map is an interactive layout of PCs, consoles, and other elements. It allows you to efficiently organize the virtual space, manage devices, monitor sessions, and interact with players.

Management Mode

Commands for one PC

Commands for PCs can be sent in Map → Management mode.

• Right-click on any PC to open the list of available commands: power on/off, start/end session, restart, top up balance, and more.

• Click on the PCs you want to select, then choose a command from the top menu.

• Use the Select All button to select all devices on the map at once.

PC and console statuses

The commands that can be sent to PCs and consoles depend on their status: online, offline, with a user session, or a one-time access code one.

The ℹ️ button opens an explanation of the colors and statuses, making it easier to quickly understand the devices' state.

📌 To check information about the active user session, hover the mouse over the PC or console. You will see the user's login (or access code number), balance, zone, device type (PC or console), session duration, rate, and discount level.

Selling a pass

To sell a pass to a user:

1. Right-click on a PC with an active session of a registered user or guest.

2. Select the Sell pass command.

Configuration Mode

Placing Elements on Map

You can organize elements in Map → Configuration mode.

In the admin panel → Settings → Map settings, you can select the items that will be available for placement on the map. Unselected items will not be displayed for selection.

Open the Elements tab to view and select items for placement, such as PCs, consoles, walls, VR zones, ping pong table, reception, etc. These elements are not billed but will help recreate the actual layout of the venue.

To place an element:

• Click on an element to select it and move it to any empty cell on the map.

• The element will remain selected until you choose another one, place it in position, or navigate to a different section.

• Some elements can be rotated. Hover over an element (for example, a wall) and click on the rotate icon.
• To delete an element, hover over it and click on the "x" icon.

Editing Devices

• Click on a PC or console to change its number, device type, zone, or MAC address.

Auto Shutdown and Restart Settings

In the Settings tab (Configuration mode), you can set the following parameters:

• Restart PC after session ends
  
  Set the time after which the PC will automatically restart. This is especially useful if you're using a diskless system, such as SENET Boot.
  
  
• Shutdown PC after session ends
  
  Set the idle time after which the PC will automatically shut down.

📌In the Settings tab (Configuration mode), you can find E-launcher (Shell installer) and the installation key.

Adding PCs

PCs will automatically appear on the venue Map after installing E-Launcher — the Shell gaming interface installer. PCs can also be added manually in the Elements tab.

Using Map on mobile?

To send a command to one device:

• Press and hold the PC or console icon.

To send a command to multiple devices:

• Tap on each of them and select a command from the menu at the top.
• Tap the Select all (✓✓) icon to select all devices on the map.

The map allows you to place elements in mobile mode as well. To do this:

• Tap on an element to place it on the map and put it on any free cell.
