🏢 Group the spaces that belong together, such as a tenant's premises or a department, into one area you can measure, describe with data fields and export.
You need the Editor role or higher. An area belongs to one site and can span its floors and buildings.
Create an area
Open the site and the floor plan. Click Add new in the toolbar at the bottom of the map and choose Area, or click Add area at the top of the Areas topic. With no site open, you pick one first.
The area opens in its detail card. Click Name your area and type the name. Add a Description if it helps.
Add spaces to the area
Under Rooms in the detail card, click Add. A banner reads Click a space to add it to area.
Click each space on the floor plan. Click a space again to remove it. Drag with Ctrl, Cmd or Shift held to add several at once, and with Option or Alt held to remove several.
Switch floor or building and keep clicking. The area follows you.
The three dots next to Rooms add or remove every space on the current building or floor in one go.
Draw an outline
When the area is not whole spaces, half a hall or a yard, draw it. Under Measured area, click Edit. Click to add points, drag to move them, and right-click a point to Close shape or Remove this shape. When you leave the editor, confirm Save changes to area. The size shows as Total area in square meters. Draw shape based on added spaces in the three-dot menu draws the outline of the spaces you added.
Use the area
The Areas topic lists every area with Added spaces, Floor area (estimate), the sum of its spaces, and Measured area, the size of its outline. Filter on data fields, and Export the list as an Excel file.
Export in the three-dot menu makes a PDF of the floor with the area marked. See Export one asset, work order or area.
Edit data fields, for Admins, sets the fields every area carries: tenant, contract number, move-in date. See Create data fields.
Delete area removes the area. Its spaces stay where they are.
