    Lens shows the floor plan behind the labels

    The desk label on Lens sits on the same floor drawing as Floors. The camera stays faded over that plan so you can still see the room. Tap where you are standing. No picture is saved.

    • ●Switch floors with the chips. Each floor uses its own drawing.
    • ●No picture is saved. The phone does not read the wall.
  2. this ship

    Lens faces the nearest desk on the floor

    Open Lens and tap where you are standing. The phone turns toward the nearest pin on that floor and reads the cable number and the device. No picture is saved.

    • ●Place the jack on Floors first. One tap on Lens faces that pin.
    • ●Turn left, Turn right, or the compass moves which desk is in front of you. Tap the plan again when you walk to the next desk.
  3. this ship

    Lens points at the desk on the floor plan

    Open Lens, tap where you are standing, tap the way you are facing, and point the phone. The cable number and the device come from the pins on that floor. No picture is saved.

    • ●Place the jack on Floors first. Lens reads that pin when it is in front of you.
    • ●Compass turn is on the phone. Turn left and Turn right work when the compass stays off. Closet remains a second button.
  4. this ship

    Data faceplates take a cable number on every jack

    Place device → Data: pick 1, 2, 4, 6, or 8 ports, then type the cable ID on each jack. Saved plates under the drawing have the same fields. Lens lookup uses those IDs.

    • ●One pin still. Eight-port plates are in the count row. Harborline 214-A still walks.

    Floors Place device can pin a data faceplate

    On Floors, Place device now includes Data. One pin stays on the floor you tapped. Pick 1, 2, 4, or 6 ports — those are lines on that faceplate. Lens reads the same lines.

    • ●Tap Floors, then Place device, then the plan. Data is the plug icon and the word Data. Port buttons are 1, 2, 4, and 6.
    • ●Lens on a closet for that floor lists those port lines. Harborline jacks still draw. A real building does not auto-pin plant jacks.
    • ●Password hashes untouched. Second Floor plate files were not redrawn.

    Free testers can Lens-drop on their own building

    After confirm email, Lens opens House on the tester’s empty plant — Place device / Add device for cameras and PCs. Not Harborline, not Cobus, not Electric Pro breakers. Overlay ports wait until they type a closet. Floor clip on Floors is optional.

    • ●featuresForMode free already had lens:true. The blocker was empty plant (no closet) so Lens had nothing to snap to.
    • ●House drop point + snaps on the company plant. Floors Place device uses this plant’s cable IDs, not HL-2W-1414.
    • ●Jobs, Billing, Team, SOP, UniFi pull, and house breakers stay Cable Pro / Electric Pro. Password hashes untouched. Did not rewrite Walk/heatmap/APK.

  1. this release

    Putting a device on the plant is Set

    One word for the same job. Lens, Floors, Find, Team, Phones, and the how-tos all say Set a device now, so the button you press matches the sentence that told you to press it.

    • ●Lens: the button is Set this device (Setting… while it saves).
    • ●Floors, Find, Team, Phones, and the shop how-tos say set a PC, phone, or camera — not file.
    • ●Package ledes and invite copy: techs set equipment and drops.
    • ●Trouble tickets and the Enlighten board still say File. A ticket is filed; a device is set.
  2. this deploy

    Lens overlay follows this company’s plant

    Lens closet picker and HUD read catalogForRequest. Typed or walk-CSV jacks paint overlay even when the switch port is still spare. Harborline 214-A stays the demo walk. Empty plant tells you to type the MDF or load a CSV.

    • ●lens-org-plant — company plant overlay, not Harborline fiction on a real building. Collector MAC / VLAN / PoE / neighbor still show when the shop pushed them.
    • ●Add-device floor is the closet’s plant floor, not Harborline 1-or-2. Empty overlay HUD tells you to load a walk CSV.
    • ●A shop walk CSV on a real street is first-building. Password hashes untouched.

  1. this deploy

    Typed wall plates work on a company plant, not only Harborline

    Account typed inventory now takes a ninth faceplate cell. Lens lookup of DESK-A on that plant lists Office plate ports and what is plugged in. Harborline 214-A still walks. Did not invent a Waukesha street.

    • ●Typed drops: jack, room, kind, hostname, ip, mac, vlan, switch_port, faceplate. Same CSV path as walk import.
    • ●lens-faceplate-proof reads THIS company’s plant. Not Harborline-only. Not MDF/IDF rack chrome.
    • ●Catalog aligned: electric-plant-import, lantern-launch-site, tier-licensing, ops-mobile-fields were already live. alacarte stays held. floors-org-plant waits on a house plant. first-building still Mike’s street.
  2. this deploy

    Lens shows the wall plate, not just the cable ID

    On Lens, look up a jack or cable ID. Harborline 214-A / HL-2W-1414 lists the wall faceplate, ports on that plate, and what is plugged in from the plant. Not the MDF/IDF rack. Not a live scrape.

    • ●Lookup accepts HL-2W-1414 or 214-A. Plate ports and plugged-in hostnames come from the plant record.
    • ●Honest first slice. Phone still points at the plate. Did not invent a Waukesha address.

    Board: year-end income + Lens wall proof + new-build walk

    Need-to-do cards for paid cash by end of 2026 plus Michael’s Lens wall-faceplate proof and a new-build walk after the first check. lantern-launch-tick only refreshes percents on existing cards — it does not invent new lines.

    • ●lens-faceplate-proof — HIGH PRIORITY. Wall faceplate / jack proof in Lens (not MDF/IDF rack). Michael’s original idea.
    • ●neighbor-msp-cable / print-leavebehind / first-building — Tritech + Brew City PC outreach and leave-behind. Year-end income path.
    • ●new-build-walk — AFTER FIRST CHECK. Cabler Lens-mark → floor plan → IT adds hardware/APs. free-residential-tier + residential-floors stay later.
    • ●floor-wire-path stays Need to do — pathway overlay tool NOT shipped. Tick timer does not add cards; deploy boots the stamp.
  2. this deploy

    Started Lens from this company’s plant

    Closet picker already reads the org snapshot. Empty plant tells you to load a walk CSV. Add device now uses that closet’s floor, not Harborline 1 or 2. Overlay HUD still a short switch-port list.

    • ●starting lens-org-plant / Lens closet picker + overlay from this company’s plant.
    • ●Harborline demo still walks. Overlay is not a live switch scrape. No Stripe.
  3. this deploy

    Collector overlay, Lens plant, walk heat, shop guide

    Collector hosts land without a jack walk and without the switch already on the plant. Lens reads this company’s closets. Air heat is the typed walk. /guide how-tos match that.

    • ●l3-endpoints — no-walk overlay plus a collector switch that was not on the CSV yet.
    • ●lens-org-plant — Harborline still walks. Empty plant tells you to load a CSV. Real street is first-building.
    • ●wifi-heatmap — typed RSSI blooms. Real-street samples are first-building. Native dBm is wifi-phone-rssi.
    • ●ops-guide-plant — collector / Lens / Air copy restamped. Rail and OG freeze, so Harborline PNGs stayed.
  4. this deploy

    Closet Lens snaps stay on the server

    A Lens snap now lands on the company plant. The next tech on another phone sees it on the closet. Photos used to sit only on that device.

    • ●Open Lens, snap Rack A, then open that closet on another phone — the photo is there.
    • ●The JPEG lives with Fluke PDFs under data/uploads. lantern.json keeps the closet card, not the pixels.
    • ●Harborline demo seats share snaps. Electric panel snaps use the same store.
