  2. Presently when using the Esri Geospatial Extensions and ArcGIS for AutoCAD one must XREF a floor plan into a map and scale it in order to publish accurately. This appears to be because ARCHIBUS will not calculate areas correctly if the CAD drawing units are set to decimal feet. Presently ArcGIS for AutoCAD does not provide any maps that use inches as the base unit nor can the maps scale to match a drawing using architectural units.

    This workaround could be eliminated if ARCHIBUS could recognize decimal feet vs architectural units for floor plans. Then individual CAD files could be…

  3. When reservation requests for meeting spaces are being approved, ARCHIBUS should log the user who approved the request along with a date/time stamp.

  4. Certain user roles, specifically guests and external vendors need to be restricted from seeing floor plans. The issue is coming up a lot for Workplace Portal, but is really a system-wide need. There should be the ability to hide floor plans from defined users roles. Either through security groups or an application parameter.

    Then, users without floor plans, need to default to a list of rooms for Booking Conference Rooms, Desks and Service Requests. In other areas of Archibus, they would either not see the button to show a floor plan or clicking the button would show a generic message…

  6. Email adress is key in big companies to identify quickly the right people to be located in the space console, because of many close names, user codes or full names.
    Single way to guarantee the right identification of people and that would help a lot in terms of productivity, efficiency.
    Some countries in Asia have specificities in names of people which are very long and often very close the ones from the others.

  7. Develop a tool or task within Web Central that could bulk upload the PM task and PM schedule. I think it would be helpful than doing it one by one. The user will have an option to bulk upload or record it one by one. The tool will just have two simple steps for example - just upload schedule and task. And then the tool will auto populate the tables necessary for successful WO generation. Maybe a template file would be necessary for task and schedule.

  8. We have received feedback from the users regarding the SEARCH functionality in the Hoteling (desk booking) application.

    The search requires to use the exact spelling. It creates difficulties for employees with special characters in name or surname (for example: Børis (Ö, ø …)).

    Our request is to enhance the search functionality to return all possible existing names (børis, Böris, boris) even if the user enters Boris in the search field.

  9. Datatransfer - csv-import - The preliminary check of the csv import template might be optimized.

    It should check whether the data starts on line 2 or on line 3.
    OR
    It should indicate if there is no "#" comment on line 2.

    Reason:
    It is currently possible to remove the comment "# .... " from line 2 and to enter regular data records directly from this line 2, which are then also imported (if there are several records).

    However, this results in the number of data records to be processed being determined incorrectly (always -1). This incorrect number is then…

  10. In Maintenance Console, the Status field heading is not displayed because the default grouping is by Status. If you change the display to group by another field such as Building, then you must manually add the Status field heading under Select Fields to view the status in Maintenance Console. However, once you exit Maintenance Console, the Status field heading is reset to not display by default.  

    It would be nice if the Status field heading remained even after leaving Maintenance Console. 

    Even if you don't change the grouping method, it can be difficult to determine the work request status when…

  11. As an administrator, in order to reduce the size of the database, I would like to offload activity log and data event log records to an AWS S3 bucket or Azure blob storage.
    This integration or connector can also be used in coordination with other services for example:
    As an administrator, in order to archive auditable 'login' events (et. al.) I want to store Archibus log files in AWS S3 or S3 compatible cloud storage.

  12. Revit uses an internal base unit system (see attached screenshot) and only converts the units in the UI for the Revit user, based on the projects/user's preferences.

    When mapping Revit parameters with units other than for area and length to ARCHIBUS, the base units are not converted to the ARCHIBUS user's preferences.

    For now ARCHIBUS has only set up conversion rules for area and length values, but not for values destined for temperature, volume, or any other field type.

    If there is a temperature parameter for example that is database driven en entered in ARCHIBUS as 0 (°C), it is…

  13. In version 2022.02 you can enter information into the quick search and a drop down list of floors that meet your criteria displays. You select the floor and the floorplan automatically loads on the right panel. This is a quick and easy way to search for and display 1 floor at a time.

    In version 2022.04 the quick search gives you a room list result and you must check the box next to the floor you want.

    This change has eliminated the user friendly quick search if the end user easily wants to search for just 1 floor.

    I believe…

  16. Within the Portfolio Edit Wizard, restrict the options for what a user can put in a location field based on what higher level location fields they've already completed. So for example, if I put Hawaii as the State Code, I shouldn't then be able to input an address in Address 1, Postal Code or Property Code for a location in Ohio.

  17. One way of telling if there is an enumeration list for a field is that an ellipsis displays when you mouse over it. For example in the Add New Building screen. Sometimes there's a delay between when you mouse over and when it displays. Could the ellipsis be displayed all the time rather than only when you mouse over it?

    Also, if you tab across fields, please display the ellipsis to tell you there's an enumeration list and change it so I can hit enter or something to bring up the options in the enumeration list.

  18. Improve the order in which you tab through the fields in the Add New Building screen by either redesigning the layout or changing what field tab moves you to. At present if I tab through the fields I don't do all of the location-related fields consecutively. For example I go from Building Name > Region Code > Date Book Value Assessed > Building Photo > State Code.

    So in that example there two fields unrelated to location in between the location-related fields.

  19. When moving through the platform, it's inconsistent how you select a particular item. For example in the Edit Existing Building screen it's a tick box to select a building then mouse up to the select icon (which doesn't look like a button). But in the Lease Portfolio Console there's no tick box for the building you want to select, and no select icon to then click. Instead you just click on one of the fields for the item you want to select.

    The most important thing is to make it consistent. My preference would be to be able to just…

  20. Hello Eptura team,

    When a move is requested, the move coordinator (the one who manages the move) can assign actions to a craftsman. The craftman is notify by email which is good.
    An additionnal notification could be sent to the move coodinator when everytime the status of the action is updated (In progress - on hold - completed - etc.). It will be easier for the move coordinator to manage the moves.

    Thank you
