Space

TRIRIGA® Strategic Facility Planning uses information from space records that must be set as part of the portfolio setup.

Access the space records from Portfolio > Locations > Spaces.

General

Information from the General tab of the space record that is important for strategic facility planning includes the following content:
  • The name is used to identify the space
  • The area and unit of measure
  • The prorated area and unit of measure
  • The current use space class
  • The capacity, which is the total designed capacity of the space before changes that are made during planning. Capacity is used in strategic facility planning only for occupancy capacity. When the space class planning measure type is set to either area or count, instead of occupancy, capacity is not used.
  • The organization occupancy status, which is determined by the data in IBM® TRIRIGA
  • The headcount of people who are assigned to the space as their primary location
  • The headcount of people who are assigned to the space as their secondary location
  • The seats that are allocated. This number is the total capacity as seats. This value is from the Occupancy Allocations section on the Allocation tab when no people are assigned to the space. When people are assigned, IBM TRIRIGA automatically allocates seats as based on the percent of capacity (seats) that are occupied.
  • The percent that is occupied, which is the seats allocated divided by the capacity
  • The remaining vacant seats, which is the capacity in seats minus the seats that are allocated
  • The in service date
  • The actual retirement date
The association of people to spaces triggers the workflows that implement the occupancy status rules.

Details

The Details tab on a Space record shows the people with this space as their Primary Location or Secondary Location (Other Assigned Locations).

The association of people to space is required to establish demand where the Planning Measure Type of the space class is set to Occupancy. Primary and secondary people are treated the same with respect to occupancy (that is, a person uses one capacity regardless of whether they are primary or secondary).

Allocation

The Allocation tab on a Space record shows the organizations that are occupying the space in the Occupancy Allocations section. These allocations are essential for establishing demand.

Occupancy space groups

You can use occupancy space groups to physically group together spaces for the purpose of occupancy during the strategic facility planning process. View and define space groups at Portfolio > Locations > Space Groups.
