Creating reports for space mappings
In addition to the Planon-defined space mappings on Department, Space category, Space type, Cost center, Tariff group, Space standard, Free attributes and Space usage, you can also create your own user-defined space mappings. For this purpose, you must define a report in which you indicate the fields to be used to create a space mapping. All the available fields for the business objects Space and Space usage can be used for this purpose. For details on creating a report, follow the procedure described in Creating reports for texts and tooltips.
 | In order for the report to be available in the CAD Integrator menu> Space mapping > User-defined space mapping > User reports dialog, first select a field to group data on and then select the Group by this column check box. By selecting the Group totals under this column and Totals under this column options you can display the totals of multiple numeric fields (including free numeric fields selected in the report definition) per grouping criterion and also per column in the floor drawing’s legend. Planon recommends selecting the Group totals under this column option to get the correct values for each legend row. For example, if an area field is added to the report, Planon calculates the total of the area field and shows the total in the floor drawing’s legend. |
After you have defined the required report, you can use it to generate your user-defined space mapping in CAD Integrator .
| | For details on generating user-defined space mappings in CAD Integrator, see the CAD Integrator documentation. |
 | To save a group report, always select CSV in the Save as options. .xls format is not recommended for group report as the output will not be properly formatted. |
