Floor Class

Floor classes are additional classifications for floors that allow custom fields to be associated with the floor. The class assigned to a floor is independent of the category/subCategory and functional category/functional subCategory assigned to it. That is, floors in different categories can be assigned the same class value.

User-defined fields (UDFs) can be associated with a floor class. When you assign a floor class to a floor, the associated UDFs appear in a separate pane on that floor's Edit Floor and View Floor pages. For example, by creating a Retail floor class, you can associate user-defined fields for the number of store fronts, bathroom availability, or accessibility options with a floor. For more information, see Application UDFs.

  1. Open the Administration Menu page.

  2. Under the SPACE ADMIN heading, click Floor Classes.

    The Admin – Floor Class page opens. All defined floor class values are displayed, listed in order of Tab Order first, then chronologically by Last Update date.
