Working with Space Optimization

Perform space optimization-related actions such as creating scenarios, approving scenarios and more.

Note:

To access the Space Optimization module in Workplace Central, you must have the sn_wsd_spcmgmt.space_planner role or the sn_wsd_spcmgmt.scenario_reader role; sn_wsd_spcmgmt.scenario_reader is a read-only role.

  Create a scenario with a building. Add, update, or remove space allocations before publishing and deploying a scenario. Manage and update your scenarios using the Stack plan and Floor map component tabs.
• Viewing or editing a scenario
  You can view the details like the floor details and space KPIs. You can edit a scenario to allocate spaces to projects and neighborhoods, assign spaces to users, or edit space assignments.
• Review a scenario
  Review a scenario created by your colleague on a building in a read-only mode.
• Publish a scenario
  After creating a scenario and implementing the space allocation and assignment, assignment type change for a department, cost center, or neighborhood publish the scenario. Share the scenario with your colleagues or stake holders.
