How do I create a space in Facility Tracker Work Order Management?
Overview of Creating Spaces in Facility Tracker:
NOTE: If you signed up for the Event Scheduler, prior to signing up for Work Order Management, your spaces will be pre-populated for you.
NOTE: Once you add the new space, it will also be displayed on the Event Scheduler side if you are a bundled client; however, the space cannot be scheduled unless an Admin edits the space within Settings>Basic>Spaces, allowing it to be scheduled. You may not want users to have access to schedule this space, especially if it is a closet with equipment in it or a bathroom.
To create a space in Facility Tracker’s Work Order Management, go to “Settings” and choose the plus symbol to the right to expand your options.:
Once this grid has expanded then go to “Basic “ and choose the plus symbol to the right to expand your options.:
Once this expands, select “Spaces”.:
Select “Add New Space” located in the upper right of the page.:

If you choose to select any “Equipment” from the equipment drop-down list, you will only have access to this piece of equipment on work orders that are tied to this location and space. The equipment be will NOT be available on work order tickets outside of this specific location or space. :
Once your space is created you can now add spaces within this space called a “Child”. You can do this by going to the space that you have created and selecting the green “plus” symbol to the right of your chosen space.:
