Space / Space Inventory / Space Manager (Transactional)

Space Manager

As a space manager, you ensure that space is provided for all employees; all space requests from the organization come to you for fulfillment. You must also ensure that your organization’s space supply meets its demands, both currently and in the future. You may work with the real estate director to plan future space needs, whether that be by consolidating space, dropping leases, or finding new leases, purchasing, or building.

Note :The transaction -based space inventory method is not available in Archibus SaaS deployments.

You typically need to perform such tasks as:

• approve and issue service requests for moves
• approve and issue service requests for claims and releases of space
• reassign space between departments
• assign employees to rooms
• reconfigure rooms to new uses, such as converting a storage area to an office
• settle conflicting space requests, or requests that conflict with the existing space profile
• arrange space to accommodate requests that are submitted in the form of a required square footage rather than a specific room
• analyze space usage and occupancy over time
• minimize unused space (remaining area)

Note : The Space Manager process includes the Space Console task, as shown above. The Space Console is the key view for space managers using a non-transactional inventory. For a transaction-based inventory, it does not show all of the shared space details. However, it may be helpful to space managers working with a transaction-based inventory because it shows primary rooms and employees in a modern interface with advanced features for filtering. For information on working with the Space Console, see Space Console Overview .
