The reports can be quickly generated from the Reporting module or the Scenario Planner Quick Reports.

Delete Move(s)


You may come across move(s) that needs to be deleted from the Scenario Move Plan and this is best described using and example.

So let us explain how a Customer Service's team move can be deleted independently of Asset Costing team move. Note that the Asset Costing team move will still exist however it will be impacted in respect to ‘blocked’ workpoints i.e. it will relinquish any workpoints it needs to in order to successfully delete the Customer Service team.

Below displays the start position of the Customer Service team on Level 13 and the Asset Costing team on Level 12.

Step 1. Change Teams Location

In this step, the Customer Service team is moved to a different floor and then the Asset Costing team takes over to their allocation .

Step 2. Delete Team Move

image2020-6-29_14-27-2.png

Then the Customer Service team's move is deleted.

  1. Select the row check box to the left of the row. Note: You can select the top check box to select all the rows OR to select multiple rows, use Ctrl key + click to select multiple rows. You can also select the first row, hold the Shift key and then select the last row which will select all rows between those two points.
  2. Click the Delete Move button. The warning message displays Are you sure you want to delete the X selected moves?
  3. Click the Okay button.

The move is deleted.

End Result

This results in the Customer Service team being moved back based on its Live VBS data position and the Asset Costing team who ended up taking up their space losses its acquired desk.

image2020-6-29_14-29-1.png

The Asset Costing’s team move still exists and its allocation (workpoint count increases) are still reflected in the Scenario except it will display a Under-Blocked Warning because in order to be successfully deleted the Customer Service team, it had to give up the desk it acquired.

Synchronize Team Moves


When a Scenario Move Plan is created it copies all the building data to a Sandbox environment. Some changes from the VBS will flow through, however, they will not change the end state of your scenario. The scenario keeps track of what rows have been modified in the phase (currently this is a single phase).

Over time the Scenario Move Plans will become out-of-sync with the Live VBS. The table below details the action in the Live VBS data and what effect it has on the Scenario.

No. Change/delete in the Live VBS data Does the action flow through? Effect on the Scenario Phase
1a

Team allocation changes.

(tick) Yes

Example - Existing Team Move in the Scenario

If there is an existing Team Move in the Scenario, it will show the Workpoints To column for that Team based on what is in Live VBS data.

In the Scenario:

  • Team moved from Level 12 to Level 13 but not blocked.

image2020-6-29_10-15-54.png

In the Live VBS data:

  • Team's allocation is changed from 7 to 10 desks.

Then in the Scenario:

  • This is reflected in the Scenario's Workpoint From column as Stacked: 10 and the Workpoint To column remains as Stacked: 7 (as this respects the Scenario's end state).

What If Strategic Planning

When using Scenario Planner to conduct What If Strategic Planning, the focus is on how to move or consolidate teams and to get your stack organize to suit the Business needs. When it comes down to Occupancy changes at a desk or team level, this will be completed later using Serraview's BOS module to collect your move data. Also, the BOS can be used to assign occupants to their future locations in conjunction with the impacted business units. 

Bulk Updates

When you use a Scenario Move Plan to complete bulk updates, you will need to complete the following:

  1. Create a Scenario Move Plan.
  2. In the Scenario VBS complete the bulk changes.
  3. Review the Scenario VBS for the bulk changes.
  4. Now you can publish the Scenario Move Plan into the Live VBS data via the Publish to Live button.
