What's New: Week of 14 September 2026

You can record more of the estate on the pages you already open: the size and occupancy of a room, the circuits on a board, and a personnel file you can take off the People list.

Record Room Characteristics and Board Circuits

Room size, occupancy and fire zone sat in a floor plan or a spreadsheet. A distribution board's circuit list sat on the panel door.

On Locations, open the place and choose Add BlockCharacteristics. Record any mix of length, width, height, area, nominal occupancy and fire zone, in metres or feet. If you leave area empty, saving fills it from length × width. Area, height and occupancy stay in step with the figures the floor planner stores on that location. A location holds one Characteristics block. Once it is there, you edit or delete it rather than adding a second.

On Assets, open the instance and choose Add BlockCircuits. Each row is a circuit number, an optional description and an optional rating in amps. One block per asset, with at least one numbered circuit. You add it on the instance, not the model or class.

Archive or Delete a Personnel File

A person who left, or a file opened by mistake, stayed on People. You could not take the file off the list without deleting the person.

On People, open the record. You can Archive a personnel file that is in use. Archive takes it off the default People list. Restore on the record menu brings it back. You can delete an unused file. A file is in use when the person can sign in, or when it holds blocks, files, comments, skills, training, a company contact, an integration link or a form request. The confirm names the person and cannot be undone. The person identity remains. You retire a duplicate identity by merging.

Open archived files with the Archived Personnel filter. A child site cannot archive or delete an inherited record.
