Improve PDF Generation of Floorplan
Printing/generating PDFs of floorplans needs to be improved overall to produce a professional looking product. Currently generating a pdf at full extents and at zoom produce different results including colors, clarity of label fonts and whether or not the Space Console settings (for example: turning drawing layers off) are honored or not. The problems are particularly visible on larger buildings. This function should be completely revamped. It is a weak component of the Space Management Information System and many clients have complained about this function. Thank you

Allow printing out floor plans without highlight
Currently, in Space Console, you can print out floor plans with at least one highlight or a border highlight. However, you can not print out a floor plan without highlights.
Do companies care about the floor plan without highlighting at all?

Space Console Keyword Search
Space Console Keyword Search
Please enhance the keyword search so that users can quickly isolate assets that they know the code for without having to use the Advanced Search option. Advanced Search does provide this capability but adds multiple additional clicks and diminishes the user experience.
Proposed enhancement:
- Consider adding the use of double quotes and a wildcard character so that the user can isolate specific assets. For example: If I search for ab, the search returns every building and floor in which the string ab exists in the Site, Building, Floor, Division, Department, Room Category. But if I am…

Back to Work: Printing Social Distancing Circles on Floorplans (PDF)
Would like the ability to print these social distancing circles in PDF. A lot of requests are being made to be able to print these maps for Back To Work quickly and efficiently. The alternative, print option via word is burdensome, static, requires manual touch ups, and lacks a map legend.

Allow dynamic labeling and highlighting, highlighting by additional attributes
Space Console should do the following:
- Allow more flexible label definitions
- Allow more flexible highlight definitions, such as:
- Exception highlights (e.g., highlight rooms that are assigned to a different org from current occupants)
- Broader occupancy highlights (e.g., highlight and indicate occupancy of hoteled space and permanent occupied space and team space together)
And there are requirements that touch on elements of Workspace Transactions that could be architected and delivered in a simpler way. Among them education and healthcare vertical requirements, such as:
- Highlights by research and sponsors of research
- Highlights by grant funding (note that some of this is accomplished…

Zoom on Space Console when selecting room or employee
We seem to have lost the zoom feature from the Space Console in v25.x Can we get that added back in when selecting a room or Employee. A patch to back port this would be great as well as a lot of upgraded clients aren't happy that this is now missing. With large floorplans or a small room, not having the application zoom to the area makes it very difficult to find.

Move Opacity Setting to Define Colors table
We have had a number of clients interested in finding out how to get the opacity to match between the floorplan highlights, the legend in Space Console and the legends pushed out to PDF/WORD. Would it be possible to move this Opacity setting that currently exists in the Smart Client Extensions into Web Central as a part of the define color process? This way the colors would be set globally within the product and you wouldn't have the mismatch that exists now or the chance that one CAD user has one setting, while another CAD user is operating by another…

Improve the way a Floor or selection in the Tree Panel is shown when selected. In the new versions it is simply a slight grey highlight.
We need a better way to highlight the selection on a tree panel in the new versions, it is far too subtle right now.

Integrate Actual Space Occupancy information
With more and more office turning into Agile workplace, the need for Actual Occupancy tracking has never been so high.
While Serraview is proposing this feature OotB, the offer for ARCHIBUS customers is unclear as of when the integration will be available, at which cost and with what impact (security, architecture, maintenance, ...).
Numerous partners have worked on custom integration with a variety of sensors, which is fine.
On its end, Archibus could focus on providing ways to collect actual occupancy data (regardless of the source which could be badge readers, smart carpets, wifi signal, sensors, etc.) in a dedicated…

Space Console UI: select and highlight functionality
Space Console - Improve user interface for grid select & highlight
Selecting specific org such a department (or rm-cat / type) and then highlighting the selected rooms on the floor plan could be improved
1:- Add a select row highlight - v25 there is no grid row highlighting to show a row is selected/unselected this can cause confusion as to what is selected and highlighted
2:- Add Highlight switch to what value is selected selecting org then highlight by org
3/4 Add a clear selection button to clear/reset all the selections and res-set view to previous set up

Space Console in V25.2 is slow to load
In 23.2 it takes 3 seconds for the Space Console to load. In V25.2 it takes upwards of 11 - 12 plus seconds to load. The Space Console processes should be rewritten and optimized to reduce the load time.
This lag time is not acceptable to the end users.

Display Room Names in Workplace
The workplace application does not display room names. Oftentimes, customers will name their conference or common spaces with friendly names in addition to their room code. The workplace interface supports searching for rooms by name but does not display the Names on the floorplan.
The room name should be visible on the floorplans, and in the room details screen in the Room Booking process.

Drawing Control Toolbar Visibility
The drawing size control "panel" is very often difficult to see because the drawing content is in the same area.
Can a background around the panel/ controls be added or the controls moved in some way so they are always clearly visible?
This applies to all screens where drawings are viewed.You can somewhat view the controls in the top left, but many times they are completely obscured, so nearly impossible to use.

Display Space Console filter frame when SpaceConsoleLoadDataOnOpen=0 in application parameters
For those organizations who have a sizable space portfolio, loading the space console can take some time. In some cases, 5-15 seconds or more. Rather than having Archibus load data on opening the space console, some organizations use the SpaceConsoleLoadDataOnOpen application parameter to disable loading data until filter criteria has been input and then load the specific space subset. In prior versions this didn't have a significant impact on the UI, but in v25 when this option is toggled the left hand frame in the space console disappears and looks to an end user like it's not loading correctly. Can…

ad hoc printing
In the Space Console, change the Generate Ad Hoc PDF Report => "Print just the current drawing - Yes - print just the current drawing with the zoom factor as it currently appears in the drawing control" to generate a PDF that shows what is in the drawing control.
In OOTB version 25.1 if you select a floorplan and leave the zoom factor at its default setting in the drawing control and then Generate an AD HOC PDF Report using the option "Yes - print just the current drawing with the zoom factor as it currently appears in the drawing…

Waiting Room Functionality in v25.x
The waiting room functionality seems to have changed and is a bit more difficult to use in the newer versions. For example I can no longer drag and drop Employee records into the waiting room from the left hand side or from the floorplan itself. It seems you must exclusively use the left hand side Employee tab. This involves quite a few clicks to restrict and find the people you are looking for. Also, if I have added 10 people I need to locate to the waiting room, and then find places on a floor for 6 of them and…

Drag and Drop Employee Name in Space Console
Currently, if the Employee Name label is used, you cannot drag and drop to a different room. Since many organizations use cryptic Employee ID's, using the Name would be much better.

Locate Employee should display a persons Building and Floor in the view even if they do not have a room assigned
When using Locate Employee, the left panel loads all employees but leaves the Building and Floor fields blank if the person does not have a Room assignment. This is very confusing. With many companies using Hoteling, employees are only assigned a Building/Floor and then reserve a space for the day. It would make sense for this view to display what is actually stored in the employee record rather than appearing that there is no data.
As a bonus, if the above is addressed, can the drawing be loaded based on having the BL/BL info?4 votes -
Back to Work - Allow email notifications for employees to be configurable
Currently, we have Back-To-Work notification functionality which allows for clients to notify their employees about returning to work:
However, this message is currently hard-coded. The generic message may not end up fitting a client. The request is to make this message configurable via the messages table (like other email notifications) to allow it to be modified to fit individual clients.

The ability to show area of rooms as labels in the Space Console
As far as I can see, none of the label choices in the Space Console shows the rm.area field. That needs to be an option with every current label choice.
Even better would be to have the functionality of the Querry Text command from the Smart Client Extensions in the Space Console.
Even more better, would be a stand-alone floor plan report builder of some sort in Web Central. Perhaps some of the reporting/printing features from the Space Console would be relocated to it and much more added. I see several other requests here in UserVoice about floor plan reporting/printing.
