What's New in Archibus V.2023.01?

Workplace: Wayfinding (Proof of Concept) (UserVoice Idea)

Wayfinding -- guiding people through your space with turn-by-turn navigation -- can help to welcome guests to your buildings and enable employees to find unfamiliar locations.

Integrating wayfinding into your Archibus deployment can have several uses. For example:

• For booked working spaces, employees want directions that guide them to the workspace so that they can easily find the booked room.

• For meetings, employees want directions that guide them to the meeting room so that they can find it and arrive on time.

• For planning purposes, employees want to see the fastest path to a working space that they booked or a meeting that they must attend.

• When Workplace is deployed on a lobby kiosk, building visitors can access routes to locations in an unfamiliar building.

To support these types of scenarios, V.2023.01 integrates Mapsted into Workplace as a proof of concept. On the People & Places page and on the Meeting Space Booking Detail pages for the SRL building, you can use the wayfinding icons to receive point-to-point and step-by-step navigation.

Limitations

• In V.2023.01, the wayfinding features are for demonstration purposes only; wayfinding cannot be used in a customer environment.

• The integration with Mapsted is limited to building Singularity Research Lab in the sample HQ project.

• You must manually install the required files that demonstrate this proof-of-concept. The files are available on Allbound on the Dashboard › Training & Pre-Sales › Archibus | V.2023.01 Download Links page.
