Topic scoring for assets, spaces and properties
To get a realistic view of topic scoring over time, it is possible to award scores (per topic) for a specific property, space or asset. It depends on the topic and the meaning you give to the topic scores, at which point you want to take action for the property, space or asset.
To be able to use topic scoring you must first define relevant topics, topic levels and topic ranges.
Methods
• You can manually enter scores per topic, for a property, space, asset. Every time new topic scores are entered for the property, space or asset, you can recalculate and add the new score with a new date-time stamp. See Manually adding topic scores for assets, spaces and properties for more information.
• You can also have the aggregated topic score calculated automatically, for example by using the Topic score calculator available from Planon. For more information, see Configuring a topic score calculator for assets, spaces and properties.
 | If you prefer a different calculation method for aggregation than weighted average, you can create your own calculator app via Planon Platform apps > AppBuilder. See Apps Development for more information. |
Example
In this example the calculation of the topic scores is based on a weighted average. The aggregated score can be calculated both manually or by using the Planon system calculator.
Topic = Energy risks
Topic ranges for Energy risks:
• Low (Scores 1-3; Weighting factor = 1),
• Medium (Scores 4-6; Weighting factor = 2)
• High (Scores 7-9; Weighting factor = 5)
Asset = Airco unit 000244
Number of observations for this asset: 3
Observation 1 -> | Observation 2 -> | Observation 3 ….> etc. |
|---|---|---|
Asset = Airco unit 000244 | Asset = Airco unit 000244 | Asset = Airco unit 000244 |
Topic = Energy risks | Topic = Energy risks | Topic = Energy risks |
Score = 8 (high) | Score = 3 (low) | Score = 6 (medium) |
Weighting = 5 | Weighting = 1 | Weighting = 2 |
8 x 5 = 40 points | 3 x 1 = 3 points | 6 x 2 = 12 points |
After 3 observations, this is the aggregated calculation score:
Weighted score = 40 + 3 + 12 = 55 points
Weighting factors: 5 +1 + 2 = 8
Weighted average = (8x5) + (3x1) + (6x2) = 55 / (5+1+2=8) => 6.875
Aggregated score for topic Energy risks and asset Airco unit 000244 = 7 (score is rounded to an integer value). Each time a new score is added the aggregated score is updated by the calculator.
| | ••• The most recent aggregated score can be displayed on the property's / space's / asset's layout, in the Topic score details field. ••• You can also find a full list of aggregated topic scores on the Topic scores selection steps that are available in the following TSIs: Assessments and observations , Assets , Assets Pro , Properties and Property details . By default, only the latest topic score of an observation or latest aggregated topic score of a Property / Space / Asset is displayed. A step action above the list allows you to switch between displaying all aggregated topic scores or just the latest:  . |
