Terminology/Glossary:
Event/Occasion
Event/occasion are the highest layer, and they are the first thing made. Events hold floorplans, can have a venue assigned to them, vendors, host, and more. Events have a few set parameters that are mandatory to them (expected number of guests, date, and type). Users have a set number of events they can create, and have to pay to get more.
Layout/Floorplan
A floorplan is an instance of a hall. Floorplans can have objects, shapes sizes, guests assigned to these objects etc. Floorplans are unique.
Templates
Templates are saved floorplans that can be used to “quickstart” floorplans. Any floorplan can become a template by being saved, and templates can also be “published for widget”, which allows you to see them in Widget.
Widget
- Vision
- A widget (version of vision) with vendorid
Vision
- Matterport
- Connect
- Sharable Link
- More
Showcase
A product/marketing name for Vision.
VisionPlus
Not matterport (usually also called realview), it costs more and allows you to move more around the space. As opposed to Matterport, we have full control over it.
Matterport
Company we pay, and also type of scan we use for events. You have points in the floorplan u can move to and its not free moving. We have less control, and its harder to add and change features in Matterport. Matteport is also known as Vision.
Venue
A type of account, is a physical location where you can host events usually.
Vendor
A type of account, can be caterer, band, etc.
Host
A type of account, the person throwing the event.
Private Collection
Private collections can either be the private collections of specific venues, which are the items that venue has to offer, or other vendors you can add as private collections that don’t appear in the regular dropdown (specific rental companies for instance).
Entourage
Just a way to add more people to an event.
Designer
Ops, I think specifically the seating page.
Ops
Ops.prismm.com, the main product, where you can create and edit events and other stuff.
Venueverse
Dev name for an app called venueverse which replaced the non vendorid parts of Widget, it allows you to either check out a few venues and see their halls and templates or use the connect[connectlink] part.
Admin
The Admin dashboard is a separate application that is used to manage users, events, and other data (like adding objects/chairs and looking up stuff).
Studio
Not relevant anymore, but was an application that was used to monitor leads generated from venueverse.
Exvo
Not relevant anymore, it was an application for virtual events, that company has since been split off and is called Meetaverse now. We support them, and they (supposedly) use our SDK so we can’t break exvo functionality. Exvo has a lot more users concurrently so it requires more optimizations, and they make use of complex entities to handle stages and booths.
Meetaverse
The company described above, it consists of a few former employees and investors.
VR
We used to have a VR application that was like Exvo, but it has since been discontinued and is not updated.
Extluid
Extluid is how connect events work, it is used to hide the occasionid and is generated in sql when a user clicks on share an event in Ops.
Brand Objects
Objects that are from a certain brand, they behave slightly differently from regular objects.
Custom Objects
Custom objects are, as the name implies are custom. They range from shapes to ceremony chairs. These objects can usually be edited significantly more than the other objects.
Hall
A hall is an area from a venue scanned. You can’t place objects on a hall, a floorplan is an instance of a hall.
Map
The maps are usually part of the url to get the svg of the hall. The Svg of the hall just describes it in svg form.
Tlatfile
The tlatfile (this might not be relevant soon) describes all the information hall3d needs in order to load the event properly.
TypesFile
The types file has most of the data about the occasion (floorplans custom objects etc). Theres also the layoutobjects file which has all the objects.
ASMP
Stands for nothing it’s a json file and describes the walls needed to draw the fakeview in 3D.
Fakeview
Not Realview (visionplus) or Matterport and is transparentish walls.
ASM
FBZ files zipped (3d model object files)
Connect/Sharable Link
An extluid link generates this, it’s a way for Vops to communicate with vision. They share calls in this version and see real updates of the event made in ops.
Agora
The voice chat/video chat provider we use.
Firebase
The realtime provider we use, firebase is used to communicate between Ops and Connect, and between connect users.
