Once you create and modify your space requirements, you can view them in a chart that plots the organizational unit's space needs in a bar chart. The charts offer filters for limiting requirements to specified business units, divisions, or departments.
Choose the space requirement on the Select Requirement tab. Move to the Chart tab and complete the filter, if desired. If you are working with a forecast space requirement, you can use the filter to show just the desired forecast periods.
For a non-forecast space requirement, the system generates a horizontal bar chart that shows the area required by each organization for Period 1. This is the value in the Area of Requirement field in the Space Requirement Items grid.
If the space requirement is at the functional group level, the system will generate stacked bar chart. For the business unit, division, and department levels, the system will generate a bar chart.
If you select a forecast space requirement, the system will generate a line chart, with a line for each organization, that shows the total area requirements for each forecast time period. With this chart, you can graphically see how the forecast areas change over time. For example, the below chart shows how space needs for business units (Corporate, Inspections, Manufacturing, Services) change over a 5-year forecast; each period represents one year. Hover over a point on the graph to see the exact space requirement for a business unit for a particular period. In the filter, you should not select periods that are not in your forecast. In the below image of a 5-year forecast, only the Baseline and Periods 1 through 5 are selected in the filter.
