Bird’s Eye View Overview

July 20, 2015Syrasoft

The Bird’s Eye View is a customizable graphical map of the facility’s layout. The BEV is a fantastic qualitative overview of a facility that can reveal a great deal of information at a glance.

The colored statuses on the BEV can be either automated and triggered by specific conditions or manual, allowing operators to mark units as needed.

Each unit can be clicked on to open up menus that allow operators to dive into tenant or unit information without manually searching through lists of information.
