  1. Allow an administrator to block some spaces for some given dates so they cannot be used for Hoteling those dates. Some uses cases can be:

    • Block for a week because there is renovation going on
    • Some spaces can be used on some dates but not on others (f.e. odd and even dates)

  2. Even if you have the "Enable Lookups" option turned on, any drawing view that uses legends still only shows the code and does not show description. In general, it would be helpful for all end users to see both the code and description in a drawing legend (regardless of the Enable Lookups option)

  3. What I would love to see from a portfolio summary/dashboard is a way to view/adjust occupancy.

    Something like this…

    Total Headcount
    Total Seat Capacity
    Total anticipated WFH %
    Total seats required with WFH %
    Total anticipated seat to headcount ratio (1:1.5)

    Ideally, we could dial this up or down to see how it impacts portfolio overall.

  4. Is there a way of adding the building/floor info to the pdf title?

    The name ab-sp-console-drawing-pdf-none-space-2021-02-04051207.961.pdf is not very useful and takes a lot of time to rename each one.

  5. In the space console, you can select a single room and the drawing (if loaded) will highlight that room.

    You can also select (checkbox) multiple rooms and click the Edit icon to edit the multiple rooms.

    It would be really helpful to add another option - Highlight Selected Rooms

    This would enable a user to select multiple locations to highlight and print based on ANY type of filtering (rooms that they know have carpet....rooms that show round tables in them...)

  6. The current Space Console views are limited to using VPA by Location and not by Organization. We have to create custom views to apply access restriction by Business Unit/Division/Department to provide almost all of the Space Management functionalities.

    Please enable VPA by Organization for all Space Console views so we can use OOTB views.

  7. Traditionally, there's a em.bl_id field storing where someone is as assigned seating and the locate the employee reports only look at that location. Can there be a workflow that just runs somehow to evaluate whether someone is at a hoteling desk right now or at a team location so that when we search for where employees are or find an employee we can to find them by their current location?

    For example it would be nice for there to be a configurable parameter so system admins can decide the order of priority of how the system should determine where someone…

  8. Due to security concerns, some clients cant assign all employees to thier assigned seat in the Space Console (Police Departments, Courts...). Archibus does not let you mark a seat as occupied without specifically assigning an employee to it. This makes it impossible to get an accurate vacancy count or visual of what seats are actually available. We need a way to manually mark a space as occupied or assign a placeholder user to multiple spaces so that clients can still see accurate vacancy and occupancy counts without having to assign employees to the spaces.

  9. Ability to determine the opacity of background plans. On AutoCAD, the plan has bold lines. But after publishing, they come out faded, especially for mobile. No amount of tweaking existing parameters affects this. A CSS had to be created to bypass this functionality.

  10. In v24.1, it was possible to create a "None" label that hid all of the label text on a drawing. In newer versions of Archibus, there's a "Hide Labels" feature, but labels always show the room code. Can the old functionality from v24.1 be restored in new versions of Archibus, so labels properly reflect their data sources?

  11. When toggling highlights, users can turn on multiple highlights at once; however this functionality is not enabled for the room standards. Room standards tab is a single select where as the other highlights are multi-select.

    Please enable mutli-select for room standards highlights

  13. Ability to link Actions to a Move Questionnaire, similar to how Actions are linked to Work Packages and Project Templates in the Capital Projects module.

    The goal is auto-create Actions for a move based on a Yes/No responses in a questionnaire. Certain questions always require an action, currently this requires a Move Coordinator to manually add actions for each move based on the response. If this were auto-created based on a template, it would save a tremendous amount of time managing moves.

  15. If an end user has a location restriction for a select (more than 1) number buildings, the performance metrics are not limited to just the totals of the buildings they have visibility to.

    It would be helpful to have the building VPA carry thru to the granularity of ALL buildings that user has visibility to. As I understand it, the limitation of the application is to only the first building in the VPA:

    On the metrics on which VPA is integrated with, there is only a very limited integration. The VPA must be on the same table as the granularity…

  16. 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…

  17. Right now it is not possible to filter in the advanced filters by the standard. This was possible in the old console and it would be really useful.

    Adding to this in the standards tab, the calculations made are not equivalent to the ones in the divisions/department and category tabs.

  18. Please add the work request ID onto actions created through the moves console (when generate service request is checked off) and if possible add the move's code to the work request that is created.

    Ideally the two would be linked so that when you click on the work request id in the moves console, it would pull up the work request in a pop-up window the way that linked work requests do. Similarly it would be use full to have something similar happen when the move code id is selected in the related work request.

    This helps cross reference the…

  19. Allow system admins to see the floor plans, historical data but do not allow access to end users. Currently you have to delete all BL, FL, RM and RMPCT records and you lose the historical data.

  20. Archibus should have a way to move Move data to a historical table and have reports that will be able to pull data from both the the active move table and the archive move table.
    If a company creates a lot of moves, it can overload the active move table by keeping the completed moves in it.
