FACILITIES MANAGEMENT | Archibus
A R C H I BU S U pda te By Pamela Duff (FIS)
The Facilities Information Systems (FIS) team completed its ARCHIBUS system upgrade to Version 21.1 on Friday, September 13, 2013. Although the upgrade addressed many backend system updates, users have also been provided several useful functionality changes and many upgraded views and reports.
We appreciate your patience during the last several weeks as we worked to resolve bugs and correct problems resulting from the upgrade. We will continue to troubleshoot and resolve all remaining issues as they are reported. Please feel free to contact us at https://facilities.uncc.edu/ our-services/business-related-services/information-systems with any ARCHIBUS related problems or questions.
A couple of the most noticeable changes for users are: • The log in screen’s new look • The autocomplete function when entering data on a request form • The simpler, easier way to filter information on data lists o Prior to the upgrade, many of the old ARCHIBUS report views required users to scroll to the far right to select a filter button to filter the data and remove the filter after they typed in their search criteria. o
The old filter buttons have been removed and these upgraded report views provide users the ability to select Enter on the keyboard after they have typed in their search criteria.
o
To remove the filter, users simply select the small “x” located to the right corner of the list.
