  1. Service Console would be much more useful if users were able to action the service reqeusts similar to the individual links in Business Manager (Approve with ability to edit date field for assignment) and Service Provider (Accept/Decline, Issue/Complete - including adding est hours/cost and final hours/cost )

  2. In Projects, once a project has been created and then requested, it then needs to be routed for approval. Once an employee has been selected as an approving manager, it is up to that employee to approve or reject it, or else it is stuck in that state.

    If that employee is unavailable for whatever reason (left the organization, no longer in the same role, on vacation, or hit by a bus), that project can not be actioned on.

    I can think of a few solutions to this,

    1. Provide a function like Assign Substitutes like in the Maintenance and Service…

  3. There does not exist a user friendly way to export and import SLA’s from one environment to the next. A ticket was opened with Eptura (416847) to inquire about this and it was recommended to go the manual route via certain tables, though this list did not contain tables that interact between SLA’s and the Corrective Maintenance console. We, and others across the enterprise would like to see an easier way to transfer SLA’s between environments.

    Latest from the ticket referenced above is: "There are not any pre-built processes for transferring SLAs between environments; you would need to export the…

  4. While filling the checklist in the Onsite App, there is no "." decimal button to add point places.

    Example :
    In the Onsite App, I have a work Request assigned to a technician and he has to fill the checklist.

    While filling the checklist, there is a number field where he need to input the reading of the pressure of a equipment.

    The meter reading value is "34.21"
    In the above value, the user is only able to input 34 value in the number field and there is no point / decimal (".") button in the number keypad.

  5. This is a request for SLO (Single Log Out) to be implemented in Smart Client.

    In an environment where SSO (Single Sign On) is implemented, even if users log out of Archibus, if they have not logged out of IdP (Microsoft Entra, Okta, etc.), they can log in without re-authentication.
    However, some clients require re-authentication after logging out of Archibus due to their security policies. Therefore, it is necessary to set it so that you are also logged out of the IdP when you log out of Archibus. This is known as SLO, stands for Single Log Out.

    In general,…

  7. Created a recurring daily booking for 14 days. I attempted to create another booking for one of the booked days and received a prompt asking if I would like to delete the series. There is no option to cancel and rebook for a single day within the series. There should be an option to cancel the one day of the recurring booking to accommodate the new booking.

  8. The default settings for the width and color of the border highlight for Show Department is too thick. On large floor plates where there are small workspace areas the highlight covers the blue that normally shows that a room is available for hoteling. Can this become a setting that can be controlled without asking the vendor to redefine it? I have included images of the highlighting for reference.

  9. Hi team.

    With the HotelBookingRestrictions parameter, employees can be restricted to a specific building, floor, division, department, team, or a combination of these elements. Valid values are a comma-separated list of the following elements: 'bl', 'fl', 'dv', 'dp', 'team'.

    It would be very useful to add 'bu' (business units) to the parameter restrictions, as it is highly beneficial for allocating expenses by business unit. Currently, clients within a BU have multiple divisions ('dv') or departments ('dp'), which prevents them from using those options. Additionally, a BU may have spaces in more than one building.

    Regards.

  10. Whenever a user opens the "Maintenance Survey Report", the system automatically sorts the content based on the "Checklist" column by default.

    Issue:
    Due to this default sorting behavior, multiple checklists within a single Work Request appear disorganized and out of order, making it difficult to follow a logical sequence. However, the order of questions within each checklist remains intact.

    Required Fix:
    To ensure that both the checklists and their respective questions are displayed in a structured manner, we need the following functionality implemented on this screen:

    When the Maintenance Survey Report is loaded, the view should automatically sort the data…

  11. The current Real Property application and schema structure allows for a very rigid 1-for-1 parent to child relationship, and only accounts for "Owned" or "Leased" property rights.

    One critical element missing in the structure of Archibus is the ability to track Easement rights that are afforded to a company, especially where the company is primarily focused on infrastructure and utilities.

    The attached images shows the complicated structure of easements required, in that a property records may have multiple easements located on different parts of it, and at the same time, one easement may span over multiple properties with numerous parties…

  12. Users have reported confusion about the messages "You're all done" or "Work Completed" that appear when you first get into the OnSite app.
    What's happening is that when opening OnSite for the first time or after a while, the list of WRs for the user is empty.
    The app displays the message "You're all done" while in fact it is synchronising the data.
    After a few seconds (~3s) the list of WRs appears.
    The same happens when you enter a group.
    For example, when you group by Site-Building, and then select a Site-Building, at first the list is empty and…

  13. Our client is leveraging SSO with MFA, specifically using a hardware security key (YubiKey) for mobile authentication. We are able to verify that this works on a mobile phone using the web browser on the mobile phone (e.g. Chrome and Safari). However, when trying to login to the Mobile App - Mobile Framework 4.0 and Workplace, the MFA is not recognized.

    This is because the Archibus browser used within the mobile app does not support webauthn, which is the technology that allows users to log into a wbsite using a hardware security key.

    The Mobile Client and the Workplace app…

  14. In the Smart Client Extension for Revit, only one boundary is currently allowed for gross area per floor. However, in my case, there is a building with separated areas on higher levels that cannot be combined into a single gross area.

    I recommend allowing users to generate multiple area boundaries (Gross Exterior Areas) for publishing to ARCHIBUS. This flexibility would better accommodate complex building layouts.

  16. Currently, if an administrator or supervisor wants to view more details about a work request's history, the log time is displayed in the building's local time, not the user's time. There are no Notes or Notices to display what the time zone is. This can be quite confusing as the time zone information is not on the same page.

  19. For many clients, there are critical needs and often government compliance requirements for user accounts. Clients are required to suspend access if a user has not logged in for a certain period (such as 90 days), and sometimes to delete a user if they have not logged in for a certain period (such as 180 days).

    I am aware of the GDPR functionality. While that is useful for account deletion, the Archibus system lacks the necessary information to make any determinations on when to set the deletion date. If using SSO, we may or may not be able to get…

  20. Problem:
    When you create an issue report linked to a preventive maintenance (PM) ticket, the relationship is visible in the system (e.g., in the "Related Requests" section of the ticket search screen).
    However, in the database, the PM ticket doesn’t show the issue report’s information (i.e., no backlink). Only the issue report contains the PM ticket's reference (parentwrid field).

    Where Data is Stored:
    For active tickets, the information is in the wr table.
    For completed tickets, it’s in the hwr table, specifically in the parentwrid field.
    To find all issue reports linked to a PM ticket,…
