The IQnext platform essentially converts your physical spaces into virtual ones. Therefore it would be important to understand the “Space Hierarchy” and how the devices in the physical space are structured within the platform. 

Space Hierarchy

Space hierarchy is the space structure for your entire organization that defines where each physical aspect is situated, including the devices associated within those spaces. 

Since it is impossible to understand and interact with every device inside a building unless they are categorized into groups that can be controlled and tracked using a floor map, it is important to learn how the management of these devices is simplified by classification.

To begin with, the organization is the highest order in the hierarchy. 

A given organization can have multiple buildings across different locations. This gives a user the power to access or manage one particular building or even multiple buildings together. 

A building is further classified into floors. Each floor can be monitored separately. A list of floors belonging to the same building and/or organization can also be viewed. 

In a similar fashion individual floors are further classified into wings. Eg north wing, east wing, etc. to group similar parts of the floor together. 

Lastly, each wing can contain one or more rooms.

NOTE: 
To provide variations of conditions in settings of devices in the same room, the room can be further divided into zones where each zone can work independently of the othe
