Facility Manager Tasks

Prepare the space inventory and floor plans for download

In order to provide the device owner with a complete data set, the facility manager or Archibus Administrator must prepare the space data for download.

Using the Archibus Space Inventory & Performance application, Archibus Web Central, and the Smart Client Extension for AutoCAD, develop a complete a transaction-based room inventory that includes floor plan drawings with rooms defined.
If you wish to use the campus map feature, be sure to develop a site plan by using the Space Planning & Management / Space Inventory & Performance / Building Performance / Set Buildings command in CAD.
Use Web Central or Smart Client to complete the following fields which store the bitmaps that appear next to the site and building lists when viewed on the mobile device:
- Site Photo field in the Sites table
- Building Photo field in the Buildings table

Decide which types of plans you with to make available to mobile users in the Plan Types list by running Web Central's System Administration / Archibus System Administration / Mobile Apps Manager / Manage Plan Types task.
Use the Smart Client for AutoCAD to publish enterprise graphics for the floor plans and store these on the Web Central server. Be sure to enable an SVG-type publishing rule that displays layers that contain all the asset types for the types of floor plans (rooms, suites, hazmat, architectural, egress, and so on) that you wish to make available on the mobile device.

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.
For information on which Archibus tasks present these plans and from which tasks you should publish enterprise graphics, see System Administration / Archibus System Administration / Mobile Apps Manager / Select Plan Types.
You should periodically publish the drawings as enterprise graphics so that the latest versions are available for download.
