  1. I was wondering what you may think of this feedback on adding addition elements to check in the Archibus model checker. As clients are using the Archibus Model Checker, they still come across issues we learned so the model checker seems to be more focused on data readiness but there’s also an element of model readiness which Smart Client verifies before publishing. An example is a publishing error like this:

    ************** Exception Text **************
    Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.InvalidOperationException: The color represents an invalid or uninitialized color.
    at Autodesk.Revit.DB.Color.get_Red()
    at ARCHIBUS.SmartClient.Overlay.Revit.Publish.PublishableModelCreator.InitCategoryColors(Document document)
    at ARCHIBUS.SmartClient.Overlay.Revit.Publish.PublishableModelCreator.Create(Document document, View view, String folder, String shortSymbolNamePrefix, IList`1 layersToIgnore, Boolean…

  2. Today a person can create an external ticket by entering a lat/lon instead of a building/floor/room. If the ticket is worked in Onsite, the craftsperson cannot view where the work order can be found.

  3. 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.

  6. Some organizations use Teams regularly and if they clear their cache it requires several steps to turn on the Teams datasource, highlights, labels and tab in Space Console. It would be extremely helpful to have an application parameter to set whether "Show Teams" is always active.

  7. Building Operation Maintenance Console - Actions button field Auto size to the amount of action buttons shown on the users view. Where there is one button shrink field size to suite. This gives more real estate availability. The same for date Work requested column. It needs to be made small by wrapping the header.

  8. Add a "notes" field to the Room and Arrangement records to document the policies/rationale for the room's/arrangement's creation, modification, etc.

    We have a large number of reservable space in multiple large office buildings and managing and documenting why a room or arrangement is created/modified is a real issue. Having a "notes" text field would help our facility managers keep track of the specifics.

  9. 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…

  10. Currently Archibus does not allow multiple rooms to be reserved on the same invite in Outlook and have it populate in Archibus through the API. If 2 (or more) people want to schedule a meeting and show up in different rooms in different buildings, this cannot be done. We frequently have 5-10 individuals that will need to work in different geographical areas and be in scheduled room.

  11. We have seen that when the rule CancelAndNotifyUnconfirmedBookings that sends and cancels Hoteling bookings is sending mails and right after cancelling the Booking.

    This causes an email to be sent when the booking is right after it is cancelled and therefore that mail is confusing and does not provide any functionality. I would say the correct behavior would be to only send confirmation mail to those bookings that are not going to be cancelled in the same execution

    This is the cde that sends the notification and then cancel those same meetings

    Our use case is:

    • Send a mail asking…

  13. We have a client who uses a lot of multiple recipients in the email field in the EM table.
    When such an employee, with multiple recipients in the email field, creates a Service Desk ticket then he/she will not receive the approval mail.
    Instead the error "Illegal address" is logged in the afmnotificationslog table.

    Unlike the sendMessage method in Message.java, the method checkRequired in the Approval step (approval.java) does not split the email values into multiple recipients

    APPROVAL.JAVA:

    requestor_email = getEmailAddress(this.context, requestor);

    MESSAGE.JAVA:

    public void sendMessage(){

    if (StringUtil.notNullOrEmpty(this.mailTo)){
    // for multiple recipients, we assume separator for the multiple…

  14. 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)

  15. 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.

  16. 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

  17. 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…

  18. In Reports Central, table selection is only by the afmtbls.title field. This results in the user having to guess which of multiple tables with the same title is the one they want. OOTB behavior should be modified to display sufficient information to eliminate guesswork. I'd suggest either 1) ensuring all tables have unique titles or 2) displaying afmtbls.table_name alongside the title.

    I have not done a comprehensive check for duplicate table titles, but the one I found was 'Rooms' which is one of the most commonly requested tables for reports. It's possible this is the only duplicated title.

  19. When sending out the calendar invite for a booked workspace, It would be useful adding the seat number to the subject.
    Otherwise it just says "full day" without the seat number. Re. attachment.
