Quick-Start / Building Operations

Developing your Space Inventory

When you submit work requests, you must enter the building for the request, but if you need to specify the location with a greater degree of detail, you can develop your space inventory so that it includes sites (a campus or grouping of buildings), floors, or rooms. When you develop this information it is available as you submit work requests, and for reporting.

You can add locations in either of the following ways:

Working from the Report Problem form, you can use the Add New button to add sites, buildings, floors, or rooms as you submit requests. See Adding Data as You Work.
You can use the Define Locations background data task to add buildings, floors, and rooms to track the location for your maintenance work. Using this task, you can define more information for your locations. See Defining Locations.
If you have floor plans, you can bring these into ARCHIBUS so that you can access the drawing from the Report Problem form, and can enter the location in the form by clicking on the room in the floor plan. See Connect your CAD Drawings and BIM Models to ARCHIBUS for the step-by-step process to do this.
