Buildings

The building directory combines each location's core details with its related events, work times, roles, files, and version history.

Directory and core details

Use table or grid view to search, filter, and open buildings. Depending on your permissions, you can also create, import, export, or share building records.

A building can include:

  • Name, status, slug, accessibility, and year of construction.
  • Categories, features, photography policy, and external links.
  • Address and coordinates. Address fields can resolve coordinates automatically, while manually entered coordinates are preserved.
  • A related project, thumbnail, and Workspace-specific custom fields.
  • The built-in Name and translatable text custom fields can store one source value plus language variants. New records use the Workspace content language as their source; maintain the translations in the building form and configure translatable custom fields in Workspace Settings → Data Model.

Buildings with coordinates also appear on the map.

Building Workspace

Open a building to work with its related information:

  • General shows the building details.
  • Events and Work Times show records associated with the building.
  • Roles records architects, owners, and managers.
  • Files contains the building's documents. A root folder is created automatically and follows the building name.
  • Versions shows the record history.

You can also download a building PDF from the page actions.

Building roles

Users with permission to update the building can add, edit, and delete its roles. Each role is an Architect, Owner, or Manager and can contain optional start and end dates.

A role can reference one contact, organization, or Workspace member. These references are mutually exclusive. If no reference is selected, enter a credited name instead; you can also add a credited name alongside a reference when the public or historical credit should differ.

Use the role table to filter entries or select several roles for bulk deletion.
