Archibus Extensions for BUILDER™ SMS

Review and Edit Asset Information

As you transfer data between BUILDER^TM SMS and Archibus, you will want to review it in Archibus and, if Archibus is your system of record, edit in Archibus.

Archibus views presenting assets and locations, such as those available from the Assets / Enterprise Assets processes, report on your assets and data that was updated in BUILDER^TM SMS.

Additionally, for your convenience, you can access these views from the Assets / Enterprise Assets / Extensions for BUILDER SMS process. The following tasks related to asset data appear under Extensions for BUILDER™ SMS:

View and Edit Organizational Units
View and Edit Sites and Buildings
View and Edit Building Systems
View and Edit Equipment, Components, Sections and Details

When editing this information, see Guidelines for Entering Organizational and Asset Data

View and Edit Organizational Units

Use this task to review and edit organizational units. Once you define organizational units, you can map them to Archibus sites.

For details, see View and Edit Organizational Units
