What's New in ARCHIBUS V21.2: ARCHIBUS Quick-Start

"Facility Management for Dummies"

The ARCHIBUS Quick-Start methodology brings your deployment from scratch to professional results in space and building operations quickly. You and your team members can be productive with ARCHIBUS within a day.

Introduction videos, tutorial videos, and “How To” instructions distill the best practices to quick sequences that get business results.

Your "All-in-One" Home Page

The Quick-Start methodology uses a single navigation page to access all tasks you need to perform space management and building operations management. You can access 80% of the tasks you need with one click, right from the top of the page. Should you need more detailed reports, just scroll down to find them "below the fold" on the Quick-Start home page. One click on "Quick-Start Home" always gets you back to this same, simple navigation page.

Space Console

The Quick-Start methodology uses the new 21.2 Space Console, which lets you access the majority of features you need, for day-to-day work, directly from one form. Thematic highlights, edits, drag and drop editing of space and occupancy, reports, even exports and changes to visible fields can happen all from this one single location.

Building Operations Console

In a similar vein, the Quick-Start method uses the new Building Operations Console to be able to follow and advance requests through the entire workflow -- all from one form.

Compatibility

The Quick-Start methodology and data are 100% compatible with the rest of your ARCHIBUS data. You can use the Quick-Start methodology, the Space Console and the Building Operations Console on your existing Windows Client/Server or Web Central data.

If you start with the Quick-Start methodology and then want to use more advanced features of the applications, such as Workspace Transactions or Service Level Agreements, you can use all your quick-start data without any change.

The Space Console and the Building Operations Console are also available from the Space Inventory & Performance, Personnel & Occupancy, and the On Demand Work applications' Process Navigators, respectively. You can use these consoles with the full ARCHIBUS Web Central applications as well as with the Quick-Start methodology.
