MeetingMatrix: Property Administrators Guide

Time: Approximately 10 minutes

If you are a platinum or platinum plus customer, you've probably created new tables and chairs since your initial installation and you'll want to keep using these in the new system. In the steps below we walk you through exporting your most current setup information and importing it into Delphi Diagramming, meaning you won't have to manually create objects one by one. Hooray!

How do I know which installation I have?

Open MeetingMatrix, click Help, and then click License. The version displays next to Edition in the License Details section. If your property uses a network and you're not sure which server the program is installed on, click License Server in the left side menu.

If you're using Gold, skip to step 4. You don't have access to the control panel but will find the same defaults you've been using are already waiting for you in Delphi Diagramming, where you'll now be able to customize table and chair sizes using the Resource Editor.

1. Open the Start menu on your workstation, navigate to the MeetingMatrix 2010 folder, click to expand, and select Control Panel.

   If your property uses a network

   Log in to the server MeetingMatrix is installed on, then follow the steps above to look in the Start menu. If you can't see it there:

   1. Launch MeetingMatrix from the server.

   2. Press and hold SHIFT + P on your keyboard.

   3. Type "\controlpanel" at the end of the file path displayed in "App".

   4. Highlight the entire file path, right click, and then select copy. The path will look something like the following:

      [DriveName]:\ Program Files\MeetingMatrix International\MeetingMatrix 2010\controlpanel

   5. Open file explorer, paste the file path into the address bar, and then press enter. Alternatively, follow the file path.

      If the Control Panel does not automatically launch, contact your IT Help desk to request access to the MeetingMatrix 2010 Control Panel Application and provide the file path you copied. You must be an administrator or have access to the MeetingMatrix 2010 folder. Within the MeetingMatrix 2010 folder, the control panel will have the Type listed as “Application.”

2. Click Facilities..., select your property, and then click Open Facility.

3. Click File and then select Generate Reports.

4. Select Setup and then under Report Format, click CSV. These are your tables, chairs and other objects.

5. Click Save As, name the file "Setup", and then save the file on your desktop, or your preferred location. You'll need to find it again a little later.

6. Clear the selected check box and select Seating Preferences. These are your seating defaults.

7. Click Save As, name the file "Seating Preferences", and then save the file in the same location.

Time: Approximately 10 minutes

Don't skip this step, it's essential you do this to make sure your true capacities are calculated using the sizes of your tables and chairs. Follow the order stated below, you'll need your defaults in place before you can load your seating preferences.

Time: Approximately 2 minutes per room.

We imported the rooms we created for you during your initial installation of MeetingMatrix and if we created anything for you since. If you made more on your own, you'll need to add those in. The easiest way to do this, is to import the MMR or DXF file for each room.

To create a single meeting space with a file upload:

1. Click your name in the upper-right corner of the page and then click Meeting Space Editor.
2. Click Create New.
3. Click Upload a MeetingMatrix 2010 File or Upload a DXF File.

4. Browse to and double-click the desired file.

   If you're not sure where to find your .mmr files open MeetingMatrix, press SHIFT+P, and note the Current path shown. Use that path to locate your files. You can copy and paste the file path into the address bar of the File Upload window and add “\Rooms\” to the end. It might look similar to this: C:\ProgramData\MeetingMatrix International\MeetingMatrix 2010\MMIDEMO\Rooms\.

5. Edit the Meeting space name, if needed.

   • For DXF files:
     • Select which layers to import.
     • Select units from the Units drop-down list.
     • Clear the Import colors check box, if you only want black lines and text.

6. Click Import.

   • If you drew the room using the line or polygon tools, select the room outline and click Settings to convert it to an Outline. Go ahead and add anything else you need, you have full control of the Meeting Space Editor!

Time: Approximately 3 minutes per room.

Once this is complete, you'll be able to create diagrams using Automatic Layout to quickly arrange a room.

1. In Delphi Diagramming, click your name in the upper-right corner and select Layout Editor.

2. Select a meeting space.

   • Confirm that the canvas displays layouts as you expect.
   • Check the capacities match your physical capacity chart.

   • If you don't see a layout but expect to, use the seating wizard to set the room using the existing defaults.
   • Save your changes after setting each style for every room in the list. This will automatically update the capacity chart.

Time: Approximately 2 minutes per room.
