3. Fill in the fields on the form, as appropriate.  
   {#t_AddOrEditABuilding__table_BuildingForm__entry__2}

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Name | Provide a descriptive name for this building. |
   | Campus | Select the campus where this building is located. |
   | Floors | Enter the number of floors the building has. |
   | Location | Select the location for this building. Define the locations in Organization Management. A good practice is to select a location that is defined at the address, not at the floor level. Floors are defined separately in Facilities Service Management. |
   | Assignable area | Displays only the area of the building that is assignable to users. |
   | Usable area | Enter only the area of the building that is available for the creation of spaces. |
   | Gross area | Enter the total area of the building, including non-usable and non-assignable spaces. |
   | Area unit | Select the unit used for defining the space size: square feet or square meters. Note: The Area unit assigned to all spaces must be consistent for the roll-up calculations to work properly. See [Space roll up calculations](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Jkwpecv2_lueRN6X3agrEg "The Facilities Service Management application can roll up occupancy, area, and usage information from lower to higher levels in the space hierarchy. Roll ups apply to spaces that are designated as 'occupiable'. The occupancy values from that space are rolled up to the level above them."). |
   | Current occupancy | Displays the number of users currently associated with the space. Calculation is generated using business rules on the Associated User \[m2m_fm_user_to_space\] table. Note: This field depends on the Occupiable option being selected. |
   | Max occupancy | Displays max occupancy of the building based on rollup calculations from the spaces below it. Note: This field depends on the Occupiable option being selected. |
   | Percent occupied | Displays the percentage of total space occupied based on rollup calculations from the spaces below it. Note: This field depends on the Occupiable option being selected. |
   | Utilization Min | Enter a number to define the minimum level of utilization for the building. |
   | Utilization Max | Enter a number to define the maximum level of utilization for the building. |
