Space Manager Overview
In Unifier, the Space Manager is where users perform facilities management tasks.
Users can gather data about the levels in their facility (such as floors and parking lots) and the spaces that exist on each level (cubicles, offices, conference rooms, and so on). You can create categories (called types) of spaces in uDesigner, and users can add records of individual spaces to these types and manage them on an electronic sheet.
The Space Manager is a means of organizing all the square footage in your facility to make monitoring, maintaining, and reconfiguring it more efficient. You can integrate the Space Manager with other managers or business processes (BPs) to give users a broader view of your company's physical capital and resources.
In uDesigner, you can create one attribute form for a "level" type in your facility and multiple attribute forms for “spaces” types. (Think of a level as the "platform" on which spaces reside.) With these attribute forms, users can create a hierarchy of levels and spaces within levels to store the facilities data you choose to collect. If designed so on the attribute form, a user can reserve the space for use using a Reservation type BP.
In Unifier, the Levels Sheet node in the Space Manager stores the manager sheet (Levels Sheet) on which all the levels in a specific shell are shown. From the Levels Sheet, users can also automatically update individual level records with data added to the sheet, either manually or via a formula created for a column.
The Stack Plans node is where users can create stack plans to show the actual usage of the levels in the company's buildings. Users can choose the information (data elements or specific spaces) they want to see on the stack plan and update the plan periodically to keep abreast of changes in the levels' space usage. For example, users might want to know the square footage used by each department on each floor (level), or they might want to know how many square feet of a floor are vacant vs. leased.
The Levels node lists all the levels that exist in your facility and are tracked by a specific shell.
The Spaces node shows a list of all the space types, and under the space type sub-node, all the spaces that exist in your facility. This is where users can create spaces or update existing ones, import data from CSV or Microsoft Excel files, or export templates to CSV or Excel.
