Synoptic Panel
Upload an image. AI finds and names the areas in seconds. Download a .pbiviz you own — no subscriptions, no data caps.
Floor plan, factory layout, stadium map, process diagram — PNG, JPEG, or WebP. No SVG required, no design tools.
Claude Vision reads the image, outlines every region, and names it from the labels it sees — Lobby, Office A, Line 3. Typically 8 rooms in under two minutes, no manual polygon tracing.
Refine names and shapes in a visual editor, then export a data-bindable .pbiviz custom visual you own — or an SVG compatible with legacy Synoptic Panel workflows.
OKVIZ built the synoptic panel category and v2 remains a capable product. The differences below are factual as of mid-2026 — check both and pick what fits your tenant policy and budget.
| Aspect | VizForge Synoptic Studio | OKVIZ Synoptic Panel route |
|---|---|---|
| Creating the map | Upload an image; AI segments and names areas automatically in seconds. | Draw or trace every region by hand in Synoptic Designer, then export an SVG. |
| Product status (2026) | Actively developed, part of the VizForge generator. | v1 retired April 10, 2026. v2 is the replacement, with a full edition and a certified Lite edition. |
| Certification & data handling | Generated .pbiviz you import directly; source included so IT can review it. Runs entirely locally. | v2 full edition is uncertified and can use external services; Synoptic Panel Lite is certified and local-only. |
| Free-tier limits | No data caps on exported visuals — the visual is yours. | Free tier of v2 is capped at 15 data points and 1 map; higher usage requires a subscription. |
| Ownership | One-time credits per map. The .pbiviz and its behavior never expire. | Vendor-hosted visual: features, licensing, and lifecycle are controlled by the vendor (as the v1 retirement showed). |
A synoptic panel is a visual that binds your data to regions of a custom image — rooms on a floor plan, zones in a warehouse, seats in a stadium. Each region is matched to a category value in your model and colored by a measure, turning a static diagram into a live, filterable report visual.
Synoptic Panel v1 by OKVIZ was retired on April 10, 2026. OKVIZ offers v2 as its successor: the full edition is uncertified and can rely on external services, while Synoptic Panel Lite is certified and processes data locally. Existing v1 reports should plan a migration path.
Not with VizForge. The classic workflow requires manually tracing every region in Synoptic Designer to produce a data-bindable SVG. VizForge replaces that step with AI segmentation: upload the image and the areas are detected, outlined, and named automatically. You can still adjust vertices, draw extra areas, or rename anything in the editor.
Each detected area gets a binding id (for example lobby or office_a). In Power BI you bind a category column whose values match those ids, plus a measure. The visual colors each area by the measure value — matching is case-sensitive, and you can edit every id in the editor before exporting.
Yes, in both directions. VizForge exports an SVG with data-bindable path ids that works with OKVIZ-style synoptic workflows, and an image of your existing map can be re-uploaded for AI segmentation to produce a fresh, editable version — then exported as a .pbiviz you own.
A synoptic map costs a one-time 15 credits, AI segmentation included. There is no per-viewer, per-month licensing: the exported .pbiviz belongs to you and keeps working regardless of your subscription status.
Sign up free, upload an image, and watch the areas appear — then keep the visual forever.
