Space and Occupancy Management Index

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. BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

Transforming Space Management: How Integrated Access Control Solves the Industry’s Biggest Pain Points (Blog)
Why calendar‑only tools miss the mark. Explains how linking reservations to identity and access events closes the “booked vs. actually occupied” gap, eliminates desk‑squatting, and unifies analytics for accurate utilization and planning. BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

Reporting & Analytics Guide for Tenants
How tenants access BluSKY Intelligence to run reports and dashboards—including the Occupancy category—save/schedule results, and build analytics for ongoing monitoring. BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

Commercial Real Estate (Solution Page)
Context for CRE: unified dashboarding, vertical transportation integration, and analytics that include occupancy and floor‑by‑floor population to inform property operations. BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

Setup & Administration

Occupancy (Admin)
Defines an Occupancy (a company/tenant within a facility), how it relates to a BluSKY system, and key fields. Includes actions like View/Edit/Delete and export options. BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

Create an Occupancy (How‑To)
Step‑by‑step to add a new occupancy: select system/facility/company, set address, and assign floors (including default floor). BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

Edit an Occupancy (How‑To)
How to modify an occupancy’s name, address, site assignments, and especially floor assignments used by downstream analytics, routing, and policies. BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

Occupancy Administrator — Quick Start
Orientation for tenant/occupancy admins who manage their own people, visitors, reports, and day‑to‑day tasks within BluSKY. BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

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. BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

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.
BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

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. BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

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. BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

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. BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

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. BluINFO Link.

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. BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

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. BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

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. BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

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. BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

BluB0X API Guidance (Directory & Data Sync)
Practical patterns to automate population data from HR/IT systems into BluSKY—key to keeping occupancy rosters clean, complete, and policy‑ready. BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)

Training & Support

Report Training
Intro to running/exporting reports (PDF/Excel), with examples across alarms, access, people, visitors—skills you’ll reuse for occupancy/Who’s In reporting. BluINFO Link. (BluINFO)
