  • Sidebar Navigation Panel
    Learn about the sidebar navigation panel which contains the Home, Search, Favorites, Navigator, and Shortcuts.
  • Home Pages
    For the various roles and users in an organization, an Archibus administrator can design home pages that offer information focused on this type of user. Home pages list important metrics, statistics, and alerts so that you can quickly determine the state of your issues and critical issues. Home pages display in the workspace area to the right of the sidebar navigation panel. When you sign in to Archibus, it loads the Home Page based on your account.
  • Tracking Metrics
    A home page can present useful information such as alerts, "top 5" issues, scorecards, and other tracking metrics.
  • The Navigator
    The Navigator organizes the data development and reporting tasks of a particular facilities management business area. Use the Navigator to access the data development tasks, reports, charts, and floor plans required for your particular role in the organization. The Navigator is available in Web Central, Smart Client, and the Smart Client Extension for AutoCAD, although the appearance varies in each program. In all programs, it presents a hierarchy for accessing data and tasks.
  • View Home Pages on a Tablet
    While working on a tablet, you can use home pages to access executive reports such as metrics, alerts, and summary management reports. This is particularly useful for sites working with the Archibus mobile apps (which run on the Archibus Mobile Client). Using a tablet in the field, a manager can use the mobile apps as well as check key data by accessing the home pages and checking metrics and reports.
