  2. I propose to create a dynamic/ responsive booking process with automatic Social Distancing logic – this means:
    1. All of the Hotelable rooms are designated as “Available”
    2. When a room (desk) is booked, the system automatically checks the room’s proximity to other rooms and turns “Unavailable” all rooms that fall within the specified social distance radius.

    Benefits:
    1. Move away from a static floorplan layout – more flexibility
    2. Increase room availability – let say that one room is in the cleaning process, users can still use all the rooms around it.
    3. Save admin time to prepare a…

  3. Before the Report a problem screen, the creative work request screens included the date/time required fields as part of the form. This is vital so people report problems or requesting work to carry out can indicate the specific date and time the work is required. As this was an option in the past and the fields are still in the database, this is some way ready to go.

  4. LDAP and Non LDAP mixed user setup

    It would be good to be able to support a mix login feature to allow for both staff and contractors to get access to ARCHIBUS.

    Often we have clients that need to have a SSO or LDAP solution for the majority of internal staff users, however often within a building we have, non staff and contractors that need to access ARCHIBUS to either report a problem, manage tasks assigned to them (work requests or assessments). or room bookings etc.

    Currently there is no option to be able to offer this (unless I'm missing…

  5. There are still modules using the text/plain MIME instead of text/html format.
    And this is hardcoded.
    The core should be updated or at least all modules should use the switch in the mail.properties file.

  6. Functionality exists for a meeting space booker to check-in 15 minutes before and during the meeting.

    Ensuring users check-in to their meetings is a good process to enforce since it will be able to indicate whether a room was used or not. It isn't uncommon for rooms to be booked but a meeting doesn't actually take place due to cancellations or scheduling and location changes. This will save cleaners time and cleaning resources since they wouldn't be cleaning an unused room.

    We have made a custom report which indicates which users have made bookings but do not check-in and repeat…

  7. The Manage Home Pages and Roles GUI only allows half, three quarters and full height panels. However, descriptor files also support quarter height. These are necessary for the v. 25 Building Metrics panels. Half height panels leave empty space.

  8. It is important that each feature implemented in a system like Archibus is obvious to the end user. If a system requires minimal to no training to allow an end user to perform a task, people will consider the system "user friendly" and will like to use it. This has been a challenge for the Archibus product in the past. A perfect example of this is the download link that is displayed once a file is generated in Smart Client or Web Central (see picture attached). Once the export process is complete, it is not obvious to the end user…

  9. Currently, Space Console Smart Search shows a list of matched floors in the dropdown list, where users can select one at a time to load the floor plan. (see ShowFloorsInDropDown.png)

    Is there a need to show all matched floors in the Floors panel so that users can review the floors' metrics and pick one or more floors as needed? (see ShowMatchedFloorsInFloorsPanel.png)

  10. We frequently come across a requirement for a "Knowledge Base" that must be part of a proposed solution. ARCHIBUS has the Help files that can be appended and added to but there is no out of the box way for the customer to develop their own knowledge base as they grow with the system. A recent requirement is provided below. MH = Must Have, SH = Should have.

    KM01 The Vendor shall describe how the solution establishes, supports and maintains a knowledge base. MH
    KM02 The Vendor shall describe how knowledge management is integrated with incident/service management. MH
    KM03 The…

  11. The organization hierarchy should be unlimited, and highlight reports should be able to show rooms on all organizational levels.

    Implementation options include:
    - Make use of the org table.
    - Add an Fkey in rm and em to org and get hierarchy that way.

  12. We use the Building Operations Console throughout our facility on majority of repairs and requests. Is there a way that after a year from the original request, the requestor would receive a notification to either resubmit this request or cancel this request. This would allow for some of these older requests to be put back on the top of the WRs list and potentially not get lost in the system, and also allow the requestor to determine that maybe this request was not truly needed, especially after a year has passed.

  13. Notification Templates in the Compliance Module have a set recipients for the template, this is a little awkward and it would be better if there was an option to set the template to send to the 'Person Responsible' or 'Vendor' or 'contact' or all 3 with a free text option also. The person/s that an email need to be sent to can often differs at different levels even within the same requirement. When a template is assigned to an event there is no option to adjust the template so a new template needs to be created. This means a new…

  14. Hello,
    while exploring the REST API endpoints in Webcentral we discovered a shortcoming:
    There are two endpoints:
    * /v1/service-desk/requests/getAllBy
    * /v1/data/getAllBy
    that use GET as request method but still rely on request body parameters to retrieve information from the client request.

    While the standard does not/does no longer strictly forbid GET requests with body parameters (see this discussion: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/978061/http-get-with-request-body) it is still considered bad practice and can cause caching problems. Even more problematic is that lots of clients don't support it which means they are not able to communicate with Webcentral.

    In order to remain backwards compatible I would…

  17. We recently responded to a GSA RFP that included Federal Real Property. Archibus has a Federal Real Property app that is on the GSA Schedule however it is several years out of date and is a set of standalone tables, not integrated with the core data structure. An FRP app has been developed by a Business Partner that is compliant with current GSA FRP data structure and I believe is integrated with the core AFM data structure.

    What is AI's commitment to upgrading the FRP app and keeping it compliant with current GSA data structure and reporting requirements?

    If this…

  19. Avoid desk booking (hoteling) and room booking (reserves) when the limit number of employees that can be on-site at any given time reach the maximum planned capacity.

  20. Hoteling application should have a completed kiosk feature. In the terminal, the users should view office placements for themselves and others, and check out of the workspace. In this way, employee checks out early, the hoteling application could alert facility and service staff that the space can be made available for someone else
    Additionaly, the hoteling software should allow employees to go online to find available workspace based on proximity to certain areas.
    Optionally, when there are more requests than available desks, hoteling application also should manage wait lists and handle walk-in requests, making it painless for companies to juggle…
