Evolve FM Accessory Components

Dashboards

Dashboards are your personal access window into Evolve FM. Configure your dashboard to reflect what you do with Evolve... What modules you access, what reports you run, what data you need to see. Your Dashboard will make you more efficient and improve your Evolve FM user experience.

Data Broker

Data Broker is an administrative level module that lets the user set up a rules-based import and/or export of Human Resource related information between the Evolve FM database and your HR system of record.

Data Broker provides the ability to set scheduled, automated, import & export of data and also the ability to manually execute the import/export from within the Evolve application.

Location Services

Locating people, places, or things has never been easier.

Evolve FM Location Finder Services provides an elegant, easy way for anyone in your organization to locate a person, space, or asset. Your search will display both details about what you have searched for as well as a drawing with the appropriate space highlighted.

Location Viewer adds a widget to most Evolve dialog forms that will open the appropriate floor plan when clicked, so that you can see where something is located no matter what you are doing.

Location Finder Services only checks out a single concurrent user license from your license pool, no mater how many people are actively searching for people, places, or things.

Location Finder Services can be made available from the Evolve menu, your Evolve Dashboard, or from an internal company web page.

Space Groups

Space Groups lets you take any number of spaces and designate them for a particular use. Examples may include hoteling space, spaces that are controlled by a keycard, etc. You can color-code drawings by Space Group to easily see what areas a space group occupies, and assign people and assets to Space Groups.

FM Power Tools

FM Power Tools provides some additional features that some users will find important.

Dynamic UDAs - Dynamic UDAs (User Defined Attributes) expand the use of Evolve's standard UDAs by letting you assign them to specific space and asset types. As an example, you may want to assign a UDA to your HVAC equipment, yet you would not want the HVAC equipment UDA to show up on your Artwork assets. Creating a Dynamic UDA specific to HVAC equipment contains the UDA to only HVAC equipment items.

QR Code Scanning - QR codes are are more and more the standard way of identifying spaces and assets in your organization. In the facilities world, being able to scan and identify spaces and assets with your phone or mobile device as you survey your facility will be more and more the expectation.

API-Access - Evolve has a documented API that partners and even end users can access to add unique functionality. On request we can provide the appropriate documentation and answer any questions relating to use cases a partner or end user may have.

Services – Ever wonder what spaces and assets were serviced by a specific router? Or what spaces a particular air handler serviced? The Evolve Services component lets you define an asset’s relationship with both spaces and other assets.

Dependents – Look at any asset in your portfolio and know right away whether it has a dependent relationship with another asset. IT asset relationships can be complex… a router feeds a switch that feeds several PCs… being able to easily see how all your assets relate to each other simplifies the tracing of issues to find the offending device.

Dependent Spaces – Assets can service both other assets and spaces (think air handlers for example). With Evolve you can show what spaces depend on what assets and view those relationships in a number of useful ways.

Requester

Evolve FM Requester provides a budget friendly way to put work request capability on the desktop of everyone in your organization. Work Requests include the option to add a picture of the asset/problem the request is about. If the device you are creating the request from has a camera, you can take a picture during the request creation process and add it “on the fly”. Also, Requester can be made available from the Evolve menu, your Evolve Dashboard or from an internal company web site or Intranet site.

Work Order Scheduling Calendar

The Evolve FM Scheduling Calendar takes the maintenance calendar to the next level. Each technician’s skill sets are matched against the requirements of the work order to determine who it will be assigned to. Color coding is used extensively to help you determine who should be working on what when. Multiple view choices let you look at work orders, calendars and technician assignments in whatever way you like that makes them easiest to manage. You have full drag and drop control when reassigning work orders to different people at different times. Scheduling adds a really powerful component to the Evolve Work Order Management module.

Allocation Breakdown

Allocation Breakdown - Some clients, notably in higher education, need a more granular breakdown of allocations relating to tracking space usage for funding and research purposes. Allocation breakdown allows for the tracking and reporting of this more granular allocation of space functions.
