Quick-Start / Building Operations

Adding Locations from the Report Problem Form

You will need to add your own locations when you begin submit your actual work requests. The work you submit for your actual locations you add will not be deleted when you delete the sample data, as only work associated with the BOSMED location is deleted.

The simplest way to add your own locations is to add buildings from the Report Problem form. From the Report Form, you add a few basic fields. If you need to add more information, you can work from the Define Locations task. See Defining Locations.

To add you locations from the Report Problem Form:

  1. From the Quick-Start Home page, select Operations Console.
  2. From the top of the console, click Report Problem.

    The Report Problem form appears.

  3. In the Locations section, remove the selection from Use your Assigned Workspace location.
  4. Mouse over the Location field to show the Select Values button:

  5. Click the Select Values button for the Building field. The building is required when entering a work request and you will need to have your own buildings entered.

    The Select Value - Building form appears to select a building. From this form, you can review the available locations.

  6. If you want to add a new building, click Add New at the bottom of the form.

  7. You can see that your building is not in the list, so click Add New at the bottom of the form. The Add New Building form appears.

    1. Enter up to 8 letters, numbers, or characters to identify the building. The Building Code is a shorthand way for the system to identify the building.
    2. Enter up to 25 characters for the Building Name.The Building Name is longer, and can therefore be more descriptive.
  8. Click Save,

    The Building you entered appears in the Report Problem form, and it will be available for selection from now on when you report problems.

    Tip: If you want to add a floor or a room, you would follow the same steps 1 through 5 above, but in step 5 you would select the Select Values button for the floor and the room to add each of these.

    Tip: If you have a floor plan drawing for the location that you have connected to ARCHIBUS, after selecting a floor, click Drawing. The application loads the drawing. Click on a room in the drawing to select it. This populates the Location field on the Report Problems form with all room and its associated site, building, and floor.
