Version 2.62 - September 2018 Release Notes

Write to CAD

We have added new functionality to ensure that changes made to your space in Serraview are reflected in your CAD (.DWG) files. Now when you change the space name or space type directly in Serraview, your imported CAD files can be updated too. This functionality will help save time and money and ensure that Serraview remains the source of truth for your CAD files. Serraview also supports .DWG files imported using the DWG 2018 format. 

Serraview Supports Chargeback for Third Party Tenants / Subleases

Serraview's Workplace Optimization solution lets you streamline your chargeback process with new functionality. Now you can view a breakdown of your chargebacks for internal teams as well as third-party tenants in the VBS (Visual Block & Stack). This capability will give you greater insight, accountability and accuracy into the reporting of your rentable areas.

As part of this feature, we have updated our terminology for charge rules as listed below:

• Renamed charge rule 'Non-usable' to 'rentable exclusions'
• Renamed charge rule 'Building Common' to 'Building Common All'
• Renamed charge rule 'Floor Common' to 'Floor Common All'
• New charge rule - 'Building Common Internal'
• New charge rule - 'Floor Common Internal'
• New Charge Rule - 'Sublease'
• New Charge Rule - 'Base Building'
• There has been no change to 'Dedicated Allocation' and 'Shared Allocation' charge rules.
