How to Upload a Plan

Every Building in SiteOwl needs at least one Plan, whether that's an uploaded floor plan image or a blank canvas you build out yourself.

In this article, you'll learn how to upload a Plan to a Building — either as part of creating a new Site (see How to Create a New Site) or when adding another Plan to a Building that already exists.
 

Uploading a Plan

1. Select your Headquarters and Account. Click the account dropdown at the top center of the screen and choose the account you want to work in.
    
2. Go to Sites in the left-hand menu bar.
    
3. Click + Add Plans in the top-right corner.
    
4. Select the Site and Building you want to add a Plan to.
   • If either doesn't exist yet, see How to Create a New Site.
      
5. Add your Plan. Once a Building is selected, you have two options:
   • Upload an image — drag and drop a PDF, PNG, or JPG (up to 10MB) into the upload area. Multi-page PDFs are automatically split into individual Plans.
   • Add a blank plan — choose a shape (Square, Wide Rectangle, or Tall Rectangle) to start from scratch if you don't have a Plan image yet.
      
6. Click Save. You'll see a "Plan added successfully" confirmation at the top of your screen, and your new Plan will be ready to use.

A Few Things to Know

• Plan images are capped at 10MB — if your file is larger, you'll need to compress it before uploading.
• Don't worry about picking the "perfect" shape for a blank plan. You can swap in a real image later.

Now that your Plan is set up, you might want to check out [Adding Devices to a Plan] to start placing devices on it.
