Orphaned Users

When loading new drawings that remove or change rooms and room numbers (for example when changing cubicle configurations) you can end up leaving users without a current room. To help with this, there is an Orphaned Users tab that appears when orphaned users are identified during the drawing load.

  1. If you load a drawing that removes a room, the Orphaned Users tab appears. It shows the user who is orphaned, the room they were in, and the date the room was removed.

  2. Click the Edit button to edit the user’s profile and update the room information.

  2. Enter or modify the area, type, and description. To change the room number (Name), contact the Eptura Support team to update the drawing.

  3. Add a category by using the Live Search feature. Start typing the category's name and matching results are displayed. This Category assignment overrides the occupant category on the floor plan.
