  1. Upgrade runoff area management :

    Technical : Identify each runoff by a multiple key instead of autoID, like the rooms
    Functional : Integrate an area report (for example, at site level in Define Locations)
    AutoCAD : Be able to associate a drawing to a site, not only a building (so far, runoff drawings have to be created manually in afm_dwgs).

    See an example below, as designed for a customer.

  2. Be able to generate a pdf and include the border highlights. Border highlights are highly used and very valuable, but when creating a PDF they do not come through.

  3. In several instances the system displays the Error: Cannot read property 'message' of null; rather than redirecting the user to the Login Screen after a session timeout (of clearing your cache in a different browser window).
    This, along with the typical timeout occurring, produces unexpected results when logging back in. This was reported as a bug but were told:

    The system does not inform the user that the session is approaching timeout or that the session ended. Sadly, that is is the limitation of the current design.

  4. There is currently no report available for viewing cancelled hotel bookings.

    The "Bookings for a Date Range" report allows the user to search for all bookings except for cancelled ones.

    Room Reservations has a "Cancelled Reservations - Details" report so it would be nice if Hoteling had an equivalent.

  5. If one is using the Project Management Console, When one look at a project and all the actions in the project, one can create a service ticket once the action is in the scheduled status or so.

    But if one goes into a work package which shows a separate set of tabs for the actions, change request, etc, if one goes into the action level for that work package, you cannot create a service ticket here. It would be nice to have that feature consistent.

  6. To support workspace reservations, or team space based seating, adding additional functionality to either manage lockers or tie to locker management systems would be valuable. For example, when making a workspace reservation, give the employee an option to indicate if they will need a locker for their things along with the reservation and include a reservation for a locker as part of the same booking. Or for a simpler fix, adding an application parameter to include a checkbox on a reservation to indicate whether the employee needs a locker, and when selected include configurable instructions on the booking reservation to…

  7. In order for lease chargeback agreements to work properly, it requires going into the Cost Wizard, finding the scheduled costs, and then changing their Cost Statuses to AUTO-CHARGEBACK. This is cumbersome since someone would need to search for the scheduled costs and change each of them from AUTO-RECURRING to AUTO-CHARGEBACK since they are monthly/quarterly/annually/etc recurring costs.

    A mechanism to flag the recurring costs to default to AUTO-CHARGEBACK would save time and the potential for error.

  8. I would like to manage the notifications related to the MOVE Module with more flexibility and options.

    It should be integrated in the SD process a better way.

  9. In the corrective maintenence module, when a work request is created and the craftperson has to estimate the parts he will use, the system allows a supervisor to approve the parts estimation as long as the requests status is "assined to work order", if the request status changes to "Issued and in Process", then one cannot estimate parts, nor approve the estimation by a supervisor. The only action allowed is to add used parts by the craftperson. So, as a supervisor, it's hard to control and approve the material or parts needed according to their criteria. Now, what we think…

  10. If there is a change to a Preventative Maintenance Schedule, the only problem-free way to do this is to unassign the PM Procedure from the Equipment or Location, Reassign and setup a new schedule. When this is done the historical data on the old 'pms' record is lost although the WRs still exist in the system.

    If the change to the schedule is made by changing the Date of First PM or updating the frequency/recurrence pattern, it leads to the PM WR not getting generated.

    I would suggest a few changes to make the PM Planning a more error free…

  11. Add a field to store the text label size in the afm_dwgs table and store a value for any drawing that is either larger or smaller than the default. When the drawing is loaded, the drawing parameter can be set based on that stored value, with a default value set for drawings in case they don't provide one.

  12. When using the hoteling features, it would be great to have an ICS file generated for the calendars so that employees at a company can tell where they need to be by going into the one place they all tend to use which is the exchange calendars. They can be set as the availability of 'Free'/'Working Elsewhere' so it doesn't prevent others from trying to book colleagues to a meeting as well.

    This would be great if it is a configuration option in hoteling.

  13. Multiple tables have a need to be archived as data grows in size, particularly the captured Metrics for trends, (afmmetrictrend_values) , notifications log, and data event logs. When there is no auto archive process integrated, an archiving console could be provided that will allow the user to determine
    a. the table to be archived
    b. whole or partial archive
    c. date or pkey (or other criteria) for archiving a partial data set
    d. merge to existing historical table or create a new historical table

    The process would then use these options to remove records from the data table…

  15. Could we please get a consolidated and maintained list of OOTB Security Groups and their function(s) within the application. We have taken a stab at this as of 23.2 but it would be really nice to have this list present in the help text and updated each version if/when things change. For instance when the SYS-VIEW-ALTER came to be for the VIEWS tab in Smart Client, having a list like this would have been a huge help.

  16. A lot of clients overtime have customized reports like what they originally see in archibus, For example a maintenance history report or a invoice list and go and include fields that exist in the schema to these list style reports. While a lot of consoles now have the ability to pick available fields in many areas, it's not always pointing to the fields that clients need to use to make business decisions or have the kind of audit logging process they need. It would be nice to have what report central has where all fields in a used table and…

  18. The current view to add amenities to a Hoteling room is awkward ("Define Fixed Resources"). The biggest problem is that one needs to know all the room numbers of Hotelable Rooms rather than being able to pick them from a floor plan. Also, each Room's amenities must be added individually rather than allowing multiple selections. And the "Room Arrangements" tab is confusing since it is not relevant to Hoteling.

    A new graphical view (or adaptation in the Space Console) should highlight Hotelable Rooms, allow multi-selection of rooms and add one or more amenities in a batch. This would speed up…

  19. Currently, Completed Moves do not show in the Move Console unless one clicks on "Configure Options" and selects "Show Completed and Closed Moves". Then the next time the Move Console is opened, this option has to be selected again.

    Hiding Completed Moves IS VERY MISLEADING, even dangerous since Completed moves need to be Closed to update location data of moved persons/teams/equipment/furniture), . So Completed Moves should show by default so they can be Closed.

    But Closed Moves should not be displayed by default. Over time, there will be thousands of Closed Moves and there is no reason to slow down…

  20. In Workplace there is the ability to find a person, room or equipment and pull up a floor plan. Would like to be able to upload site plans to view as well. Either CAD or JPG.

    Similar functionality exists in places outsode of Workplace, such as in the Space Console Advanced Search when selecting a building.
