Space and Occupancy Management Index
All the BluB0X / BluSKY knowledge you need for spaces, rooms, utilization, counts, and policies.
Overview & Key Concepts
BluSKY Space Management (Datasheet)
Core overview of BluSKY’s Space Management module—create and classify spaces (desks, rooms, offices, event and parking), set capacities, view interactive floor plans, and drive decisions with built‑in reporting and analytics. Designed to give real‑time insight into occupancy and costs with an executive dashboard.

Floor Plans & Space Configuration
Interactive Maps (Floor‑Plan Control & Context)
Interactive, floor‑centric view to navigate facilities/floors, overlay devices, review events, and control points in context. Pairs naturally with Space Management floor plans to visualize where utilization happens.

Booking & Reservations
Booking Management (within Space Management)
Centralized list of space bookings with filters by time, type, and status; create/edit/cancel reservations and automate workflows so booked spaces are used efficiently.

API Use Cases — Co‑Working & Reservations
How partners use the BluB0X API to connect co‑working/room booking apps with access control so a reservation automatically comes with the right door/floor permissions.

Utilization & Occupancy Analytics
Occupancy Analytics Package (Jan 2024 Release)
Adds People per Floor, People per Occupancy, Floors per Occupancy, and “People Added/Modified/Deleted” by floor/occupancy—plus Who’s In Statistics by Facility—to quantify populations, database health, and space trends.

Who’s In Statistics & Dashboards (Feb 2024 Release)
Who’s In by Floor and Who’s In by Occupancy track totals, averages, and variance over time; new Occupant, Who’s In, People A/M/D, and Property Manager dashboards give multi‑level visibility from facility to tenant.
BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)
Who’s In Summary Report (Guide)
Generates a counts‑oriented summary of people by entity/floor/facility/date for attendance and headcount snapshots.
BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)
Who’s In Details Report (Guide)
Shows the most recent entry points by person (occupant/vendor/visitor) for arrival and departure insight at a target facility—useful for validating use vs. reservation.

Leveraging BluSKY Analytics for Tenant Space Utilization (Blog)
Explains how to read “days‑in‑office” patterns at tenant and person levels, correlate to return‑to‑office policies, and forecast space needs from actual behavior.

Stacking Diagram & Occupancy by Tenant (Release Note)
Visualizes occupancy distribution by floor and per‑tenant metrics (e.g., credentials, logins, roles) to contextualize usage and admin completeness.

Policies & Controls (Enforcement & Data Hygiene)
Access Control Hardware A&E Spec — Occupancy Controls
Hardware policy capabilities that impact occupancy compliance: occupancy counting, multi‑occupancy rules, and anti‑passback (area/reader/time‑based with hard/soft/timed forgiveness). Useful when tying physical policy to space rules.

Best Practices for Removing People from BluSKY
Guidance for individual/group/occupancy‑level removals so active headcounts and “Who’s In” reports remain accurate; explains the impact of “inactive” vs. deleted records on reporting.

Location Services with BluREMOTE (Context for Presence & Floors)
How indoor location (e.g., barometric floor detection and GPS‑like services) can improve floor attribution and presence accuracy—useful inputs for occupancy analytics and elevator routing.
