Facility Data

SISfm accesses data from the following sources:

• Facility database - a relational database containing the details and classifications of facilities and of personnel.
• Facility maps - graphics and XML files showing building locations on site plans, and room locations on building floor plans.
• Facility images - image files and other associated documents for sites, buildings, floors and rooms.
• Facility personnel - optional LDAP and telephone PBX data access for alternative personnel data.
• Facility documents - links to documents for sites, buildings, floors and rooms.
• Asset data - asset database tables.
• Asset documents/images - asset images and documents.
• Asset Bookings - the bookings database.
• Room Bookings - the bookings database.
• CMIS Timetable database - optional CMIS timetable database accessed by the Room Bookings module.
• CELCAT Timetable database - optional CELCAT timetable database accessed by the Room Bookings module.
• Move Manager - the database used by the Move Manager module.

Facility maps are created using the Map Compiler which also creates corresponding facility data in XML files so that the Map Enquiry module can be used without access to the facility database, on portable offline devices for example.

A location code (loc_code) field is stored in the database against each facility and person, and this is used to name corresponding files. The location code is structured according to the LocCodeFormat setting.
