The Tour capability in Opcenter X Intosite allows users to create virtual guided tours of a factory or site. These tours guide users through predefined stations and display relevant views and information at each point. They are commonly used for training and knowledge sharing, for example to provide new employees with an overview of the factory before they access the shop floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that instead of listing individual placemarks, users can specify one or more layers in the Tour Excel template, and all placemarks within those layers will automatically be included in the tour step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Benefits<\/u><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Overview<\/u><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This enhancement focuses on improving tour loading performance in Opcenter X Intosite. Previously, loading a tour could be slower than loading a site, especially for tours with many steps or placemarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s New?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tours now load efficiently with performance similar to site loading in the Intosite client when the same layers and zones are applied<\/p>\n\n\n\n Benefits<\/u><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Overview<\/u><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This new functionality makes creating and managing zones and layers much easier and more efficient. Previously, admins could only create or update zones and layers manually using the Layer and Zone panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s New?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Admins can now export existing site structures to Excel, make changes if needed, and import them to create or update zones and layers, simplifying site setup and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Benefits<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this release, we introduced a new user interface for the Tour capability. The main goal was to align the experience with the overall Opcenter X Intosite user interface and follow the Siemens Style Guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
