With the Differences in space dimensions report you can quickly and easily detect deviations between the specified net floor surface area of spaces and that of the corresponding space usages on the set reference date. The results from the report enable you to rectify any significant discrepancies.

You can access the Differences in space dimensions system report by descending to Spaces and then clicking Report on the action panel.

In the Report settings - Differences Space dimensions window, which is accessed by clicking Edit report settings in the Reporting window, you can make following settings:

The field Title allows you to specify your own title for the report. If you leave this field empty, the default Planon-defined title “Differences in space dimensions" is used. If you specify your own title, this title will be used instead of the Planon-defined title.

The field Subtitle allows you to specify a subtitle for the report.

These fields allow you to specify the period you want to generate and check data for by entering a start date (Period from field) and end date (Period to field). The start date applies as a check date in the report. Another check date is the last date (before or on the end date specified in the Period to field) a change was made to either the space usage or space dimensions.

If you wish to start each property on a new page, set the Page break per property option to Yes.

If you wish to display floors in your report, set the Show floors option to Yes. Spaces are then grouped by their floor.

With the Totals settings you can indicate the totals you want included in the report (per property, floor and/or grand totals). These totals are only meaningful if the start date and end date are the same.

Set this option to Yes if spaces which have differences greater than the number of square meter/feet specified in the Minimal difference field should be displayed in your report.

This field becomes available if the Filter on minimal difference option is set to Yes. The Minimal difference field enables you to specify the minimal difference between space size and space usage for which the difference should be reported. For example, if you enter the value 10, then the difference between space size and space usage should be ≥ 10 or ≤ ‑10
