View Only Mode and Edit Mode

Auto-saving and View Only Mode


The VBS will auto-save and this enforces that the VBS is the source of truth and must only be edited when you are making changes to the live VBS data. Auto-saving also means that no work can be accidentally lost.

View Mode

The View Only displays by default and lets you safely investigate the Block and Stack without accidentally making changes to the live VBS data.

2. Before you work on the live VBS data you need to understand what changes you want to make:

2.1 If you want to make simple changes to the live VBS data, then continue on to assign allocation and update occupancy.

2.2 If you want complex or large changes then we recommend that you protect your truth and trail the workplace changes in Scenario Planner. You can easily create multiple scenario move plans for the same building or floor, and then push the chosen scenario into the live VBS data. To quickly create a scenario move plan, click the + Scenario Plan. The Create Scenario Plan dialog displays.
