1. What is this module about
The Space Management module is an addition to the buildings and area module, via which the entire portfolio of buildings and floors can be managed via a single overview. It offers insights in cost per m2 per department, cost center or headcount. It also offers the options for managing floorplans (via SVG files), creating the areas based on a floorplan and multiple default or custom floorplan views.
The Space Management model is a light weight version of Space Management and is not to be confused with the new Space Management Product currently in development by Spacewell.
This additional sub module is enabled by the following module setting:
1.1 Space management navigation menu
Via the navigation menu, users with system group '3. Edit buildings and areas' have access to the Space Management dashboard:
This dashboard directly shows an overview of all buildings with a stacked bar chart containing the number of areas per area type (see Area types) for each building.
In a button bar, multiple cost overviews are available. See down below for more info.
In the actual data overview, all buildings including each floor are shown, directly showing relevant information, like which floors have a floorplan uploaded and how many workplaces the floor contains.
Via this overview, it is also possible to create a new building with an number of floors in 1 action via the ‘Create new building’ option:

1.2 Floorplans
Floorplans (drawings) can be uploaded per floor via an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file. Using these floorplan drawings has multiple benefits:
Areas on a floor can automatically be generated based on this floorplan. eliminating the need to create all the areas per floor manually or add them into an csv import file
The floorplan can be viewed per floor using different color coded views (e.g. distinguish reservable areas from non reservable areas, types or areas, per department, etc. Making it easy to visualize these differences.
If an areas is created via such a floorplan, an option on the area will appear, which will show the area highlighted on the floorplan. This makes it easy to quickly find your way towards a given area, if for instance a workorder is planned for this area.

Be aware, these floorplans have no relation with the floorplans used in Workplace Experience and are thus also not synced to Workplace Experience in case of an active integration. |
