October 17, 2005—A new maintenance module has been added to FM Desktop 6.0, a leading Computer Aided Facilities Management application suite, according to the company.
Facility Request is a Web-based work request submission application that can be installed easily on any employee’s computer, allowing users to complete, submit, and check the status of work requests. Facility Request connects to the FM Desktop database to maintain and distribute work request information.
Using the Facility Work Request form, the company explains, anyone with a browser and permissions can request work to be done for a specific location. Employees just need to complete a few simple fields and submit the request to Facility Manager. A work request will be created in the Facility Manager Database ready for the maintenance staff to process. With the Request Status feature, users can call up any work previously submitted to check on its status.
Bob Fahlin, president and CTO of FM Desktop developers, Applied Spatial technologies, comments on the work request enhancements in Version 6: “Improving our work request capability to include Web based work requests was a natural extension of what we were already doing; FM Desktop already handles demand work orders very well, and our Users really wanted us to extend its functionality to include web based request submission tools. Our product development is always driven by our users.”
