Site Elements

Site elements in Docusnap are all elements that can be assigned to a site, e.g. network sockets, air conditioners, etc.

Rack Elements

A rack element is built into a rack. Examples of a rack element are servers, switches or patch panels.

Shapes

A shape is the image of a physical element (e.g. server, switch, network socket) and serves to graphically represent the element in the rack. The detected plugs are also used to document the cabling.
