  2. I see that there was a request to add room labels to Workplace back in 2020 and that a solution was pushed in 2021. When looking into it further it looks like it was only added to "People and Places" and "Meeting Space Booking" but not added to "Workspace Booking". Would it be possible to add room text to workspace booking as well? I have included two screenshots to show the discrepancies.

  4. When assigning contacts to a Lease, the contact type is inherited from the contacts table.

    A single contact may be assigned to multiple leases, but have different a different role depending on the lease. For example, one contact may be a BUILDING SUPER for one lease contract, but a PROPERTY MANAGER for another lease.

    Could ARCHIBUS add a Contact Role or Contact Type to the ls_contacts table so that the role can be assigned per lease?

  5. We are now able to easily add customised fields and would like to make them visible in the available fields when selecting fields to be added to the grid. It would be good to allow this without having to engage someone to customise the .axvw file. SAS users would also benefit from this.

  6. While the feature to search for employees in Workplace and being able to locate them on a floor plan is nice, it can also lead to issues for organizations that need to honor employee privacy. Hypothetically, an employee can locate and stalk another employee by searching and booking a desk near them without the other employee knowing.

    My suggestion is to introduce some mechanism to anonymize this either by having it apply globally as an application parameter or by creating a field called em.ispublic to control it on an employee by employee basis. Employee's have it defaulted to Yes and…

  7. Version 2022.02 introduced this issue. Select a floorplan to display, switch to another floor or building/floor. The previously displayed floor displays with no highlights before the new floor displays.

    This reflects poorly on the ARCHIBUS software and is confusing to the end user.

  8. Whenever a user does a task like : Task: Assign Assets to Custodians
    Task File: ab-eam-assign-to-custodian.axvw

    And the user does the following:
    1. Find an equipment
    2. Add an owner custodian via the "+" button
    3. Click on the '...' button on the New Owner name field which will allow one to select a value.

    This select a owner view is called (ab-team-member-select.axvw) and it takes a long time to load, sometimes 20-30 seconds because it seems to pull from the employee, vendor, contacts and the team member tables.

    it would be better to have some default restrictions in these…

  9. The Conference/Meeting room kiosk mode was silently removed. It sounds like the default direction since 2022.02 was to force staff to use the workplace dashboard view.

    This was the original help file that describe the functionality. As clients are returning to a hybrid model, there area a few starting to ask about this feature. https://help.archibus.com/user_en/archibus.htm#../Subsystems/webc/Content/ess_manager/kiosk_concept.htm

    Can this be brought back into the product?

  10. Problem:
    When additional steps such as "Approve", "Estimate" or "Schedule" are added to a Service Level Agreement. you only need to click on the "Estimate" button to move to the next step and so on. This means you can simply move through the step with no addition of a "Trade" for example. The resulting WR will have no trade which has ongoing problems with the visibility of WR to users.

    Solution:
    The SLA should have the additional functionality to make certain fields in that step Mandatory before you can finalise the step. You should be given the ability to click/select…

  11. Reservation Editing determined by group allowed to approve or additional field/security group. Currently without the Reservation Manager security group assigned, a user can only edit (per my understanding) a reservation that they created or where they are the requested for/by. Many clients, especially in government, have groups that manage large sets of rooms and need the ability to edit any reservation that falls into that group. There is a need for a field or security group to allow full edit rights to any reservations that falls into a set of rooms, without having to give access to edit every reservation.

  15. Our SaaS Customer that uses Portfolio Management and has hundreds of properties all around the country, would like to have the following standard functionality as in Archibus Cloud:

    1- The ability to place Properties polylines in a map and show them in an Archibus view (this would be similar to existing view "Asset explorer in campus", which shows Building polylines instead, please refer to attached image).

    2- If possible, it would be great that this view works without an Extensions for Esri license (as far as we know, that Extension is not even included in Archibus Cloud). The same as…

  16. There seems to be no fault tolerance in the function/process related to

    "CloseDaysAfterWrDateCompleted"

    If the process finds a record that has some form of data issue (it does happen) the process stops at that record and does not continue (on error continue). No other records are processed.
    The process starts again the next night and stops again at the same record, so no archives are achieved. Effectively stopping the process

  17. Having the ability to find others, whether in a hotel or assigned seat, is great, but can provide a liability with stalking behavior. Like many apps today, It would be good to have an opt in/out and also create a friend/colleague list where you could control who is able to see your location.
    This is especially true for Sr. Executives that can be a target from a disgruntled employee.

  18. Version 26.3 => maintenance console => Additional Documents and activity

    Do not display Step Log Steps that are not relevant.

    When a WR is are requested stage there are multiple people that are able to take action, such as issuing the WR. when the action is completed, all of the other "possible people" remain visible. This clutters up the users view of the actions taken on that WR. By removing these records for this you will see a more succinct view. In some cases we have 20 people on this list and we are only interested in the person who…

  19. PM WR check lists - Allow check list to display and push certain data back to other tables in the databases.

    example

    A location based PM - check an update condition index on multiple eq_id

    Checklist question

    1) inspect and update "eq.ed_id#1" "eq.decription#1" condition. Previous ci "eq#1.ci" type in new ci "checklist ci Field"

    Repeat this for each piece of equipment that you wish to assess.

    when WR Status is complete, update eq.ci from new checklist ci data.

    other examples such as
    1) check and record Residual current device trip time on DB1-RCD1, 2
    2) check and record water meter…

  20. Many users still print their PMs after they are generated.
    When using the View Active PM Work Orders view, setting the appropriate filters and clicking the ‘Paginated Report’ button, work requests print in woid & wrid order.
    The PM Work Request Generator iterates thru the creation of work requests based on the Date to Perform and no additional sort fields.

    I would like to see a way to add an additional "grouping" (not to be confused with the Grouping option that combines the selected grouping option on the Same work request)
    I do still want separate work requests…
