Version 2.66 - July 2019 Release Notes

BOS Import

You can now use a BOS Import to create new rows in the BOS Grid. You can add each team member in the BOS Import as an individual row and this will create a new row in the BOS Grid. For more information. 

New Campus Chargeback

When you use the Campus Chargeback you can chargeback to a common campus area across all of the teams in the region. A campus relates to a building's immediate parent region only and a campus in Serraview would be a group of buildings under their immediate parent.

In this example, the Building 2 has the Campus charge rule set for a space and this will make the parent region for the campus, Georgia.

The new charge rules are called Campus Common All and Campus Common Internal. Also, the 325 Chargeback Report has been updated to include the Campus Chargeback.

Space Optimization

Enhancement – The following enhancement was made to the Demand Forecasting user interface:

• In the Demand Grid the Workpoints column has been renamed to Headcount, refer to Demand Grid.

• In the Demand form's Overview tab, the Workpoints field has been renamed to Headcount and the Target Ratio field has been added, refer to Add a Demand planned adjustment and Edit a Demand planned adjustment.

• In Forecasting the expected workpoints will now calculate on-the-fly.

Enhancement – The Workpoint Import contains the new Workplace notes column, which if left blank, can be used to bulk clear the workplace notes, refer to Workpoint Import and Workplace and Requirements for Workpoint Data.

Fix – The Workpoint Import has been corrected so if a workpoint is being imported has the same name as the zone then the import will match to the workpoint not the zone. Also, this import has been corrected so when it is used to convert spaces from one type to another it will not result in an error. This was due to data integrity.

Fix – The Floorplan Importer has been corrected to retain the neighborhood allocation. When there are spaces allocated to a neighborhood and those spaces are deleted from the CAD file after importing the floorplan, the neighborhood allocation will still exist for the deleted spaces.

Fix – The Floorplan Importer has been corrected so if a CAD file is imported with duplicate names in containers then an error displays "Unable to match spaces. There are <number_of_spaces> spaces named <space_name> in the CAD file that match a space in Serraview."

Fix – After a Region Import has been completed the Configuration > Recent Imports will now display Region Import in the Type column.

Fix – The Person Search has been corrected so you can search for people with short names.

Fix – In Workplace the Team Panel's Add a Desk option will add a person to another desk and the team allocation will not change.

Fix – Uploads to the Document Library and the Floorplan Importer have been corrected and will now work with the latest Google Chrome browser update.

Security

Either assign the role to a user or assign the secured action to a custom role. For more information, refer to Access Serraview APIs and Register a Serraview Service Account.
