In addition to linking equipment from your Work Order & Asset Management module to your floor plan and linking spaces from your Event Scheduler/Work Order & Asset Management modules, you can also create custom layers! These custom layers can help you visually separate out additional items or attributes about your campus or buildings and visually track items beyond your equipment from your Work Order & Asset Management module. Just like equipment and spaces, once custom layers are added, all users can easily enable or disable those custom layers from appearing on the floor plan.
User Editing Access
- All admins can add and edit floor plans.
- Admins can edit sub-admin and user permissions so they can also add and edit Floor Plans. As a default, all new sub-admins and users will not be granted automatic editing access to Floor Plan.
- Calendar View Only users and portal users in Work Order & Asset Management are designed to have very limited access and thus will not have access to Floor Plan.
