Verified in a test tenant (2026-10-31)
- An IMDF zip from this app with building, footprint, level and unit (plus address, venue and manifest), with the Places PlaceId in
properties.directory_id, is accepted byNew-Mapdirectly. NoImport-MapCorrelationsis needed. Places reported: floors 2, rooms 2. - Rooms show on the map with the right position and orientation.
Import-MapCorrelations(first run) accepts our package. Itsmapfeatures.csvhas the columnsPlaceId, Name, Type, FeatureType, FeatureId, FeatureName, FeatureCategory; the app exports the same format (mapfeatures.csv).- Microsoft’s correlated output sets
directory_idand normalises every file to a fixed property set (nulls where unused); the app writes the same shape. - Sections, workspaces and desks (desks as fixtures, the default) import and show in Places; desk rotation is correct. Desks as units were not tested.
- A floor in a Places export can lack a SortOrder (
Featuresis{ }). The import then warns and uses the number in the floor name.
Still open
- Desks as units (
workspace/desk, the per-office alternative to fixtures) are not tested. See IMDF_ASSUMPTIONS in src/shared/imdf.ts. - The property set Microsoft writes for section and fixture files is unknown; ours were accepted. Category values Places accepts for sections beyond the default.
- Behaviour with large floors (many rooms) and several floors on one position.
- Whether unit
building_idsare required/accepted (it was accepted). - Group claims in Easy Auth for the second access check (token size/overage with many groups).
- Whether the Microsoft-style capitalised file names or a missing manifest matter (our lowercase names with manifest were accepted).
- How Places SortOrder is set for floors that have none (probably
Set-PlaceV3 -SortOrder, not checked).
