Regions

Regions are larger areas that contain buildings. For example, the Europe region might contain buildings located in several European countries. Decide how best to group buildings within regions.

When you select a region in the Analyze module, all buildings assigned to that region show on the map.

To view regions configuration options, go to Facilities > Regions.

The Regions page includes the following:

  • Table filters: Customize the table by applying filters, repositioning columns, and sorting them.

  • Search: Enter at least 3 characters to search for an existing region.

  • Export: Download details from the table to provide a backup of important data for future reference. Click the export icon at the top of the table.

  • Create region: Create a new region.

  • Name: Description of the region.

  • Show: Indicates whether the region is shown or hidden.

  • Updated: Date the region details were modified.

  • 3 dots menu

    • Update: Update the region details.

    • Delete: Delete the region.

  • Pagination: Use the left or right arrows at the bottom of the grid to navigate through pages or select a specific page number. To adjust the number of entries displayed per page, click 25 per page and select a higher or lower number to show (10, 25, 50, or 100).

Export table

Download details from the table to create a backup of important data. This allows for future reference, easy sharing with others, and deeper insights through more data analysis. The exported data is saved as a Microsoft Excel Comma Separated Values File.

  1. Go to Facilities and select an option.

  2. Click Export. Depending on the web browser you use, do one of the following:

    • The export automatically downloads to the download folder.

    • In the Save As window, navigate to a location to save the file and click Save.

Synced regions

Integrations with other systems automatically update and manage synced regions. Accruent Space Intelligence reflects changes made in external systems without manual intervention. Region names and regions synced from other systems cannot be changed or deleted.

Accruent Space Intelligence pulls changes once per day during the sync process that runs at 1 AM PST.
