Create or Modify Custom Venue Types

You can create or modify custom venue types instead of the pre-defined venue types. (You can also remove custom venue types.) Venue types let you define device and application distributions typical to a particular deployment environment. This distribution profile is then utilized within the model to estimate device capacities for the plan.

To create or modify custom venue types:

  1. From the main menu, select Venues.
    The Venues dialog opens.
    Click to expand in new window
    Venues Dialog
    ../_Graphics/venues.png
  2. In the Venues dialog, select Add to add a new venue type, or select a previously customized venue type to edit.
    Note

    Note

    You cannot edit the pre-defined venue types (School, Hospital, HighEd, Office) that are built in to the software program.
  3. Set the device mix and application mix percentages as needed.
    The Save and Cancel buttons are enabled when changes are made.
  4. To save your changes, select Save. To cancel your changes, select Cancel. If you did not make changes and want to close the dialog, select Close to exit without changing the configuration.
  5. You can apply the venue type to a floor.
