Shelves

Shelves are fixtures that attach to Racks and hold items. Typically, these are Product Positions, though they could also be Container fixtures, or arbitrary item Groups

A Shelf can be created via Insert > Shelf (via context or header menu). Pressing "E" creates a Shelf at the cursor location.

If a Shelf is dragged over a Rack and is at least as wide, it will snap to the Rack.

Properties

A Shelf's properties can be edited by double-clicking it, or via Right Click > Properties.

Shelf properties dialog

Name and Description

Optional name / description for this Shelf. Name is often useful for identifying where products go in Reports. These properties are how an item's Fixture and FixtureDescription will be reported if it is parented to this Shelf.

Layout

How items on the Shelf are automatically laid out.

For some layouts, Spacing defines the horizontal space left between each item when its content is laid out.

Dimensions

Shelf Width, Height, and Depth, in inches or centimeters. You may enter values like 4' or 10m and GoPlanogram will convert automatically.

Slant / Dropzone

The height of the Slant (if the Slanted checkbox is checked) or Dropzone. This is the area over which items must be dragged to be parented to the Shelf.

Fence Properties

Both Shelves and Containers may have a Fence if the Has Fence checkbox is checked.

This fence acts as a guard that appears in front of items. Its style, color, opacity, and height can be edited.

Colors

Shelf fill and text colors.

Can Combine

If checked, if this Shelf is vertically aligned with other Shelves of the same Layout, they will be treated as one, and the layout will account for the entire length of all Shelves.

Two Even-Align Shelves with Can Combine set to true, treated as one large Shelf

Editing Multiple Shelves

If multiple Shelves are selected, you can edit their Properties through the same dialog.

Use the Propagate checkbox buttons to declare a change to a property should be applied to all selected Shelves.

The Propagate checkbox is checked for Fill, but not Height. Both Shelves have their fill changed -- only Shelf 1 has its Height changed

Dragging Over Bays

When multiple dragging Shelves over Bays, they will all snap to the Bay the cursor is over.

For each dragging Shelf to snap to the Bay it is dragged over instead, , hold the Alt key while dragging.
