Buildings

To enable logical grouping of devices (assets) for an Organisation, you'll need to build out the company physical locations into addresses and rooms. We do this by creating Buildings. Once created, a Building will contain the location, number of floors and rooms within it. Additional information you may wish to include are also pictures and notes.

The benefit of creating Buildings and Rooms is for assigning assets within the Asset Management section of the platform.

Create a Building

Click the +New Building button at the top right of the Buildings section. Complete all the fields as necessary, and click Save. The newly created Building will reload and here you can add a picture of the building using the Picture menu. Repeat as necessary for your needs.

Smart Building features

When creating a Building, setting the following fields are important for Wallboards and Door Panels:

• Language: The language selected here will apply on the Door Panel and Wallboard screens for those that are setup within the Building
• Time zone: The time zone selected here will apply on the Door Panel and Wallboard screens for those that are setup within the Building 
• Working Day: The working day times selected here will apply to: 
  • The Door Panels and their Sleep Mode setting for those that are setup within the Building
  • The working day analytics with Room Utilisation reports

Floors

Once you have created a Building, you may add the floors contained within. Click the Floors menu within Building Details and then the + New Floor button. Add as many as you need. Floor zero represents the ground floor. Once finished, click Save and the Floors screen will reload. Repeat as necessary for your needs.

Rooms

Once you have created a Floor within a Building you can add Rooms to that Floor. Click floor number you want to assign Rooms to, and this will load the Rooms menu. Clicking the + New Room button once will load the Room Details screen. Enter the details of the room and add the people room capacity. You can add a picture of the room using the Picture menu. Repeat the Rooms creation steps as many times as necessary for your needs. 

Clicking the Save button will reload the room, and now allow you to assign (or remove) assets into it. To assign assets, click the Unallocated Assets menu. Selecting the '+' (plus) symbol at the end of the asset row will assign it to the room. Add all the assets you require, then click Close. To view the asset or to remove an asset from a room, you can load up the Room Assets menu. Removing an asset is done by click the '-' (minus) symbol at the end of the asset row. Click Close to close the screen.
