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
    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.
  • Send a scenario for approval
    After publishing the scenario, send your scenario for approval to workplace managers of your organization.

  • Deploy a scenario
    After publishing a scenario plan, deploy the scenario on your production.
  • View scenario change details
    View details of each change that you implemented in a scenario. You can view details such as the space that is changed, the type of change, and the workplace move case associated with the change.
  • Create a copy of an existing scenario
    Create a copy of an existing scenario and make changes. Save time from a creating a scenario from scratch if there are only minor changes to an already created scenario.
  • View or edit space allocations of a building
    The Space optimization also enables you to view space allocations and make any space-related changes on a building directly. You can view a building stack plan and floor map same as scenarios.
  • Work on a space assist request
    As a space planner, fulfill workplace space assistance requests. View the selected space plan of the request and deploy accordingly. You can also assign the request to another assignment group or a user.
