July 20, 2007—Simple Solutions FM, an authorized Autodesk ISV partner, has developed and published the first available Autodesk FMDesktop training guide, titled Introduction to Facility Manager. The new guide provides a comprehensive approach to understanding the most utilized module of the Autodesk FMDesktop Product Suite.
Facility Manager is the heart of the FMDesktop suite and is the only required module. This module allows the user to create, edit, and report on all of its facilities data and drawings without the need for CAD. The 200+ page Introduction to Facility Manager training guide is designed to be most helpful if used in conjunction with an FMDesktop training class, explains Autodesk, although it can be used very effectively on its own, outside of a training class environment.
Topics include:
- The facility manager interface
- All about forms
- Facility manager system settings
- Building your database
- Working with drawings and reports
- Managing moves in facility manager
- Work order management
Simple Solutions FM (simplesolutionsfm.com) is currently developing its second FMDesktop training guide titled Using Facility Link, which is expected to be available in August.
Simple Solutions FM is a software and services consulting firm that provides CAD, CAFM/CMMS, and Document Management Software, Implementation, Training, and Web services to the Facilities Management marketplace. Simple Solutions FM has been working with FMDesktop since the products initial design in 2001, thru its acquisition into the Autodesk Building Solutions product line.
