This applies to more than Space. It is a universal idea to provide a means to pass variable values to a view in Archibus through a URL. Let me start by giving the most basic example of it's potential usefulness. If you had a spreadsheet you sent to a fellow employee with rooms listed in it each of which was in fact a hyperlink. The person (also an Archibus SSO user) receiving the spreadsheet could click on any room number in the sheet and it would pop up an Archibus locate rooms view that would show them the building floor plan and zoom in on the room location on the floor. This type of link could used in any application, an email, a spreadsheet, a meeting invite from Google Calendar or Outlook. The only requirement being that the person is a user (preferrably SSO user) of Archibus. This requires that the URL that opens the locate rooms view be able to pass the specific building floor room number to the view.

That is just one example. Another is using Building Ops (now Maintenance), where a QR code is placed in room (bathroom or conference room etc.) that any person (Archibus user) could scan to generate a completed "canned" Work Request to perform a task in that room such as, refill paper products, TP, towels, clean up a mess, replenish paper in a printer room etc. The QR code on the wall poster in the room contains the URL with all the specific parameters needed by the view it calls to fill the view form out and submit it and even log out.

This idea opens the many varied benefits of all the possible Archibus views and tasks to any user that clicks a link or scans a QR code.
