  1. When closing any popup or screen, if the data has not been saved, display a warning message allowing the user to either confirm closing without saving or saving.
    It has been done in some console like the Asset Lifecycle Console.
    Would be great to generalise this to the whole platform.

  2. Client feedback (Archibus SaaS) for the dialog message indicating that a user has to sign-out and sign-in after changing the the locale is too short.
    The request would be to make the duration a little longer or replace the temporary message with a pop-up giving the option to Logout Now.

    UX reading suggests the time for the popup be 1 second for every 4 words which translates into the popup being 4-5 seconds especially for the French language and it is also compounded by the fact there are 2 pop-ups at the same time (The other being 'Record Saved')

    Thanks…

  3. Currently we can create custom tasks that redirect to URLs in View Definition Wizard. However it seems that these URLs do not properly load within Archibus when they require some sort of log-in (ex for google docs or sites created by Canva).

    Please provide an option for a URL to load in a new tab from an Archibus task (I believe that this may resolve the issue)

  4. Create a replacement page that can be put up when system maintenance is being done or the database is taken offline for updates/upgrades/etc. that users can be redirected to that says something to the effect of "This instance of Archibus is currently unavailable due to maintenance. Please check back soon".

    Admins could be able to route the main URL to this page if doing work on the database to notify users it's not available for a period of time.

  5. Update code to use relative path / webappDirectory for the base url and remove hard-coded references to /archibus

    clients want to use 'names' other than archibus for their urls:

    for example: https://archibus.clientname.com/spacesystem

  6. Presently when using the Esri Geospatial Extensions and ArcGIS for AutoCAD one must XREF a floor plan into a map and scale it in order to publish accurately. This appears to be because ARCHIBUS will not calculate areas correctly if the CAD drawing units are set to decimal feet. Presently ArcGIS for AutoCAD does not provide any maps that use inches as the base unit nor can the maps scale to match a drawing using architectural units.

    This workaround could be eliminated if ARCHIBUS could recognize decimal feet vs architectural units for floor plans. Then individual CAD files could be…

  8. I very much appreciate the concept behind UserVoice allowing Archibus to develop the features their customers need based on the most voted topics.

    This said I have an issue that every customer gets 2 (two) votes regardless of the size.

    I work for a public administration of +50.000 staff members and having just two votes for such a big organization is kind of ridiculous as although me and my co-voter try to push our ideas forward we are drown by the votes of very small companies. it is not just the two UserVoice voters that are just using Archibus but…

  9. This is a request for additional functionality related to fiscal year setup.
    Briefly, I would like to be able to determine the fiscal year based on the end month in Archibus.

    With the current specifications, Archibus determines the fiscal year based on the start month. For example, if the starting month is April, the fiscal year 2023 would be from April 2022 to March 2023.

    For example, in Japan, a typical fiscal year's period is from April to March of the following year. For example, fiscal year 2015 is from April 2015 to March 2016 in Japan.
    In other words,…

  10. Ability to log in as another user to test a change in this user's configuration or try reproducing an issue only this user is seeing.
    With SSO enabled environments, this is not doable
    The system should keep track of this action for audit purposes

  11. As an administrator, in order to reduce the size of the database, I would like to offload activity log and data event log records to an AWS S3 bucket or Azure blob storage.
    This integration or connector can also be used in coordination with other services for example:
    As an administrator, in order to archive auditable 'login' events (et. al.) I want to store Archibus log files in AWS S3 or S3 compatible cloud storage.

  12. There should be an ability to report on user activity and access in system administrator. Currently the only way administrators do this is to go to the back end to get the log files.

    Unfortunately the report called "Users logged into Archibus" on webcentral is more for a point in time but also doesn't not quite show activity.

    The report I am referring to is a way to see at at a summary, ie. today 150 users logged in, most used activities are Space Management, Maintenance, Asset Management, Hoteling for example.

    With ability to drill down to see further details…

  13. BIRT reporting is very important for many of our users. Withdrawing support for BIRT would create a serious problem for them, and would be perceived by clients as a breach of trust. Tech support reports that support will continue only if the BP community expresses interest.

    Other clients have also expressed interest in starting to use BIRT reports, and it is a tool that is useful for us to fulfill functional requirements (e.g., providing a presentable Lease Invoice, not the embarrassingly poor one that uses Archibus native reporting.)

    Archibus Help announced that "BIRT [4.8] reporting will be removed in V.2022.03,…

  14. One way of telling if there is an enumeration list for a field is that an ellipsis displays when you mouse over it. For example in the Add New Building screen. Sometimes there's a delay between when you mouse over and when it displays. Could the ellipsis be displayed all the time rather than only when you mouse over it?

    Also, if you tab across fields, please display the ellipsis to tell you there's an enumeration list and change it so I can hit enter or something to bring up the options in the enumeration list.

  15. When moving through the platform, it's inconsistent how you select a particular item. For example in the Edit Existing Building screen it's a tick box to select a building then mouse up to the select icon (which doesn't look like a button). But in the Lease Portfolio Console there's no tick box for the building you want to select, and no select icon to then click. Instead you just click on one of the fields for the item you want to select.

    The most important thing is to make it consistent. My preference would be to be able to just…

  16. Performance Metrics on the homepage for percentages do not show decimals. This is due to the number only allowing 2 decimal places. Extra precision is needed for decimals for percentage metrics.

    Please change the display and decimal places of the performance metrics as the precision is important for many of the metrics.

  17. The RestrictLoadingOfUnassignedViews feature only checks views assigned to a user's role. This needs to be updated to also check views assigned directly to a user.

  18. Allow the performance metrics and alerts to show values based on the user that is currently logged in.

    For example, I want an alert on my homepage to show how many Work Requests are assigned to me, or how many leases are expiring where I am the landlord contact.

    There is the ability to set granularities for metrics based on assignment, however this is generic and does not change based on the logged in user.

  19. Currently, custom API definitions are defined via axvws and potentially java. It would be nice to have a API wizard kind of like how you can use the view definition or homepage definition views. It allows the user to visually see the fields/tables to make available to the API and then at the end generates the axvw file. It would be good to also store API definitions in the database so that users can go find their APIs.

  20. Previously, for On premise versions, Archibus had some configuration files that allowed the authorization process (to give a role to the user based on an AD security group). In SaaS, this is not possible as it is not considered as a standard feature.
    The suggestion is to add this process as standard for SaaS, as there are several companies that require it. The process would work like this:
    • Customer IT team creates the needed groups in AD, using archibus-identifiable encoding (e.g., starting with an ARCH prefix)
    • Archibus admins create new roles in Archibus, with the same encoding than…
