I. PURPOSE. This standard operating procedure (SOP) is a user reference for the UNC Charlotte Facilities Management Division personnel. The purpose of this SOP is to establish the policies and procedures utilized when creating work requests within Archibus Web Central. II. SCOPE. Develop and implement standard operating procedures according to work request process flows. Provide Archibus Web Central users step-by-step processes and procedures involved when creating a work request thereby clarifying workflows and ensuring customer work requests are initiated efficiently. By following these standard operating procedures facilities management personnel will enable accurate and expedited processes. This SOP applies to all Facilities Management employees and UNC Charlotte Archibus Web Central system users.

III. RESPONSIBILITIES. Archibus customers are responsible for creating work requests for building problems thereby ensuring that requests for maintenance are documented and tracked. Zone Shop Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that Work Requests are processed accurately and in a timely manner.

Figure 1: Work Request Work Flow IV. PROCEDURES: CREATING A WORK REQUEST IN ARCHIBUS 1. Logging into Archibus. Once a customer has determined a Facilities problem or need exists, the customer completes a work request form within Archibus Web Central, the Facilities Management’s web application for submitting work request.

1.1. A Work Request is an online form that a customer fills out when they have a facilities issue. For example, a customer may need help with a broken light in an office, so they will fill out a work request in order to contact Facilities Management for maintenance assistance. To complete an online work request form, the customer must first log into Archibus Web Central. This process begins by launching their browser. (Note: We recommend Firefox.) The customer may log into Archibus via the Facilities Management Home Page at http://facilities.uncc.edu/ by selecting the Archibus homepage link. From the Archibus home page, select the Archibus Log In from the sub menus (Figure 2) or, the customer may also log in directly to Archibus Web Central: https://archibus.uncc.edu/Archibus.

Figure 2: Archibus Log In from Facilities Management (FM) Web

1.2. Once Archibus Web Central webpage loads, the Archibus main login page will display including the security window (Figure 3). Archibus users must sign in with their assigned campus NinerNet username and password to access Archibus Web Central.

3. Entering the Required Data.

3.1. It is important that work request customers complete as many fields as possible before submitting the Work Request. The information provided ensures each Work Request is routed correctly and is efficiently processed.

3.2.1. Required fields include the Problem Type, Contact Phone, Division Code, Building

Code, Department Code, Problem Type, Work Description and Requested Completion Date. 3.2.2. Please Note: The Requested Completion Date will default to two weeks unless

otherwise indicated by the customer.

If work must be scheduled and completed on a specific date, this type of request is handled as a Scheduled Event. Please include an event name in the field provided.

3.3. Many fields on the online form have an ellipse button (also called a Look-up button)

located to the right of the field (Figure 10). In addition, there are two types of fields represented on the Work Request Form: validated and non-validated fields.

3.3.1. Validated fields are indicted by blue text; each validated field will have the ellipse button located to the right of the field to view the list of validated choices. Click on the green ellipse button to view the list (Figure 10) and then select the correct information from the list that displays by clicking on one of the items listed. The data selected will automatically be entered into the field.

3.3.2. Non Validated fields are indicated by grey text; most non validated fields will have an ellipse button located to the right of the field also. Non validated fields have retained old entries keyed in by previous Work Request customers. Customers may select from this list of previous entries by selecting from the drop down list or they may simply type in a new entry in the field provided.

3.4. The Work Request form will automatically generate the customer’s Division Code, Contact Number and Department Code (See Figure 8). Note: The customer’s information including Requested by, Contact Phone, Division Code and Department Code field information are pulled from Banner. Note: If customer’s building, floor or room number are displaying incorrectly on the work request form, please refer to Section VI for the step-by-step instructions on updating this information within Archibus.

3.4.1. If the information in the Division Code or Department code field is incorrect, click

on the ellipse button to display the list of divisions or departments and then select the correct information. Please contact the Facilities Information Systems (FIS) office if division or department are incorrect; FIS will determine if an override has occurred preventing updates from Banner; if no override is present, FIS will then contact HR Information Systems office via email and/or phone so their department may assist in researching and resolving the issues from their end.

3.4.2. Clicking on the ellipse button will display the selection of information available for

each field. The mini console may be used to search the data list. Simply type part of the information in the fields available and select the down red arrow filter button (Figure 11). Note: The hidden mini console filter buttons will display when scrolling the mouse over the column heading.

3.4.2.2. Information may also be organized numerically or alphabetically using the mini console. Click the column headings located at the top of each data list to organize the list of division information either numerically or alphabetically. The list may also be filtered by clicking one of the value list items located above the column headings (Figure 14). The list will be rearranged providing easier information retrieval.

3.4.3. “Requested by” field. This field displays the name of the individual initiating the request and is automatically filled in by Archibus based upon the login information of the individual.

3.4.4. “Requested for” field. Unless a Work Request is for someone else, leave the

“Requested for” field blank. This field refers to the name of the individual for whom the work is being performed. The system assumes that ‘Requested For’ is the same individual as ‘Requested By’ if this field is left blank.

using the sort button as previously mentioned. Once located, select the appropriate name by clicking on the blue highlighted text.

Note: Incorrect work phone numbers may be updated by logging into Banner Self Service via 49er Express (See Section V for detailed instructions).

3.4.5.1. Note: When a requested for’s name is selected, the contact phone information along with the Division Code and Department Code fields will change; to maintain the Requested by information, de-select the “Same as requested for” check box (Figure 17).
