Telepathy - Adding Map Client Diagrams

Telepathy - Adding Map Client Diagrams

The first step in the setup process is to add your images to the Telepathy client. They can then become map diagrams. If you have multiple buildings located in different parts of a country, county, state, etc - you will also need to add an image representing that geographical area. This next example explains how to add the relevant map images for two buildings located in different parts of California - each with 2 floor plan images.
