NEW VERSION OF FACILIWORKS 8i IS NOW AVAILABLE

A new version of FaciliWorks 8i CMMS Software (FDA-compliant) has just been released - contact us now to update or upgrade your software.

The dashboard summary boxes in the new version of FaciliWorks 8i can now be configured to display as text view or graphical view, making it easier than ever to see at a glance the items that need your attention for the day. You can even change the order of the various summary boxes (by dragging and dropping) to better suit your needs.

Reorder Boxes with Click and Drag

In both the Preventative Maintenance and Work Orders summary boxes, the information can be filtered by Staff ID. This allows each user to personalize the dashboard to see only the PMs/WOs assigned to him/her or for a member of management to filter by a particular technician.

TECH TIP

FaciliWorks 8i Dashboard

The summary boxes on the new FaciliWorks 8i dashboard can be configured as either text view or graphical view. To change the view, click any of the Dashboard Settings icons:

The following window will open; select either Text or Graphical view for each summary box.

DashboardSettings

You can also hover your mouse over the Dashboard Settings icon of a specific summary box; you will be presented with the following options: Settings, Refresh, Graphical/Text View and Hide. Click the third icon to change the view. If a box is in text view, click this icon

for graphical view. If a box is already in graphical view, the third icon will be an abc icon; click the abc icon to switch to text view.

Another option available from the Dashboard is KPIs (available in FaciliWorks 8i Enterprise only). To enable KPIs, navigate to the Configuration -> Admin Settings -> Options tab. Toward the bottom of the form, check the Turn on KPI checkbox and then click Save. You will be prompted to log back into FaciliWorks.

When you log back in, the KPI icon will be displayed in the header bar of the dashboard (above the summary boxes):

Clicking this icon will display the KPI graphs. Depending on the graph, you can filter by date range, Asset Type, Priority and specific asset ID(s). If asset grouping is enabled, a user will only have access (here in KPIs) to the asset groups to which the user is assigned. The Administrator must be a member of all asset groups to have all assets and filtering available here.

You can expand the view of a KPI, print it, export the raw data that was used to calculate the KPI and rearrange the display of the four KPIs. All of these functions are accessible via the set of icons in the upper right portion of each graph. Use Auto-arrange, Reset, Minimize All and Cascade to alter the arrangement of the graphs.

Shown here is an example of the MTBF graph (mean time between failures). In FaciliWorks, MTBF is the time from the completion of one work order to the creation of the next work order for a particular asset. (Click the image to enlarge it.)

SPECIAL PRICING ON FACILIWORKS TRAINING AND OTHER SERVICES

Now through the end of June

Though FaciliWorks is easy to use, it is a robust solution with extensive functionality. Formal training ensures consistent data entry by all users and proper use of the software in daily operation, as it pertains to the users' specific roles in your maintenance management department.

Software is simply a tool to be utilized in maintenance management; the real investment lies with your employees and training them on the proper use of that tool. Without it, the software could become a misused or unused tool, resulting in a reduction of ROI.

Regional Training: Purchase one seat at regular price and get a second seat at half price!

All other services are also being offered at special pricing - contact us now to discuss your needs and to get a quote.

INDUSTRY NEWS

Workplace Strategy: Elevating FM in the C-Suite and Impacting the Bottom Line

Elevating facility management into the board room can be challenging. One FM team at a Medicare insurance company in California not only did this, they created a business case for mobility that became a corporate-wide strategic initiative and won several global FM awards. This mobility project, also known as AWESOME (Alternate Workplaces Engaging Staff and Office Management Efficiencies) can be translated to any company, big or small, anywhere in the world

This Facilities team is not your typical old "status-quo" department. Instead, they led the way and affected the "triple bottom line" by improving work-life balance, reducing the company's carbon footprint, and saving millions of dollars better put to use providing customers with quality health care.

The role of this FM department was somewhat atypical. However, the executive team explicitly tasked them with that goal to reduce overall operating costs while preserving the capability of the organization to attract and retain key talent today and be prepared for the future. How did they do it?
