Floor elements

A floor element is any object drawn on a floor. Some hold goods, some shape the route, and some only group an area.

Kinds

The plan’s toolbar (Tools → Place) offers:

Element	What it is for
Shelf	shelving unit — holds bin locations on multiple levels
Rack	heavy-duty rack, taller, for pallets and bulky goods
Door	the entry point used as the start of pick and put-away routes
Stairs	stairs or a lift to another floor — clicking it in view mode jumps to that floor
Aisle	a walkable corridor; non-blocking, but it shapes routes
Wall	a solid blocker routes cannot cross
Zone	a translucent overlay grouping a region (A/B/C classes, picking strategy)
Packing	a packing station; it can belong to a specific user
Unpacking	an unpacking station for inbound goods
Picking cart	a trolley a wave is collected onto. Added from the element list rather than the tool strip — a cart is not drawn on the floor, it moves around it

Elements defined without a drawing (from the elements list) can be placed on a floor through Unassigned elements.

The elements list

Stockly → Warehouses → warehouse → Elements shows every element of the building: Label, Type, Floor, Color, Zone, Shelves, Owner.

The On the map filter separates Placed on a floor from Not on the map, which finds the elements that were defined but never put on the drawing.

Rack parameters

The element form (Edit) decides how many bins it produces:

• Number of shelves — the number of levels.
• Width divisions — how many bins fit across the shelf width (left to right).
• Access — One-sided (against wall) is one bin deep; Two-sided (island) splits into front and back bins.
• Deep rack (drive-in / flow) with Depth divisions — for drive-in and pallet-flow racks holding several bins front-to-back.
• ABC Zone — the zone class, used by storage rules and the counting cadence.
• Color, Label — appearance and caption on the plan.
• Leads to floor — for stairs: the target floor.

Levels multiplied by width and depth divisions gives the number of locations the plan analysis will generate.

Assigned users

Assigned users in the element form says who works here. Empty shows No users.

On a packing or unpacking station it says where those operators work, and their printing goes to the device standing at it, which is what makes a label or a pick list come out at the right bench without anybody choosing a printer. → Printers

Note

This is the fallback, not the primary source. A device that has been told which bench it stands at answers for itself, and only a caller with no device behind it, such as a scheduled task or an outside system, falls through to this list. → Terminals

Scan codes

A station can carry a printed label, and scanning it on a warehouse screen moves that device to that bench in one scan instead of a dialogue. The Scan code column shows which stations have one, and three actions produce them: Print scan label for a single station, Print station labels for the whole set, and Assign missing codes for stations that have none yet.

On a cart the behaviour differs: wave planning preselects the operator’s own cart, and no selection is enforced.

Deleting

Deleting an element cannot be undone, but it does not delete goods: the attached bin locations are detached from the plan and keep their stock. The module states how many are affected before the deletion is confirmed.

Owner

The Owner column matters in warehouses handling somebody else’s goods: a rack can be Shared, Own, or assigned to a specific owner. → Owners
