Facility Manager Tasks

To enable chemical safety auditors to collect chemical data in the field using the Hazardous Materials mobile app, facility managers must first perform these tasks.

Enable mobile users

To enable the Hazard Inventory y mobile app for users, a facility must do the following for each field auditor who will be performing a field survey:

• Enable the user to use the mobile app by running the System Administration / Archibus Administrators - Users and Security / Edit Users task and setting the Mobile Device Enabled? field for to "Yes."
• Assign the user to a role that is assigned to a Hazardous Materials security group. See Configuring Archibus Mobile Apps - Archibus Administrator.
• Make sure that each chemical safety auditor exist in the Archibus Users table and in the Employees table, and both the Archibus Users table and the Employees table record the same email address for this employee.

Prepare the SDS inventory for download

In order to provide the device owner with a complete data set, the facility manager must develop the SDS data, as well as basic facility information.

1. Using Archibus Web Central and the Archibus Hazardous Materials application, develop an inventory of your SDS documents and the necessary background data.
2. If you wish to provide chemical safety auditors with floor plans so that they can easily locate the rooms to visit, you must: 

• Use Web Central's Space Inventory application and your CAD program to develop a room inventory with floor plan drawings.
• Use the Smart Client for AutoCAD to publish enterprise graphics for the floor plans and store these on the Web Central server.

  • To enable, disable, or change drawing publishing rules for mobile plans, use Web Central's System Administration / Archibus System Administration / Mobile Apps Manager / Edit SVG Drawing Publishing Rules task. Be sure to enable an SVG-type publishing rule that displays the hazmat information.

  • For information from which tasks you should publish enterprise graphics, see the System Administration / Archibus System Administration / Mobile Apps Manager / Manage Plan Types task.
  • You should periodically publish the drawings as enterprise graphics so that the latest versions are available for download.
