In Sitedrive, a project phase contains one schedule which can be viewed from different schedule views by creating different location breakdowns.
By creating different location breakdowns from the space model, we can view the schedule from different perspectives. When making a master schedule, we don't necessarily want to look at the schedule per apartment, but at floor level or even stairwell level. With location breakdowns, we enable different levels of accuracy.
For the schedule view, we can select a location breakdown that is suitable for that particular work package. For example, if we want to schedule the interior phase of the B stairwell, we remove the whole A stairwell from the apartment level location breakdown and create a schedule view where we can view the areas at the apartment level.
How to edit or make a location breakdown?
Sitedrive makes you automatically 4 different location breakdowns: apartment/zone level, floor level, section level and smallest space -level locations. These four location breakdowns include all of the spaces and they cannot be edited.
You can either make a new location breakdown by pressing the Create Location Breakdown, or you can copy an existing breakdown by pressing on the 3 dots on the right and selecting Clone.
When making a new location breakdown it will firstly ask you to name it. The name should tell you what the breakdown includes. In the next example, we are making a location breakdown that includes only apartments, so we sill name it "Apartments only"
After pressing Create, a window opens with the location breakdown on the left and the buildings's physical spaces on the right. By removing areas from the left side, we can remove the spaces that we don't want to be shown in the schedule view.
Remove the location by pressing the trash bin symbol.
The space that was linked to the deleted location will appear on the right side.
Remember to press Save.
Now you can create a new schedule view that focuses solely on the work done in the apartments. To do this, select "Schedule Views" from the menu on the left. Click on "Add." A new window will open. Give the view a name, such as "Apartments," and choose "Apartments only" from the Location Breakdown dropdown menu.
You can also create other schedule views that are focused for example on specific floors, common areas, or starwells.
On the Schedule Views page, above the name of the selected view, it will indicate when the chosen view includes all spaces from the space model. With such schedule views, you can create tasks for all areas, while also having the option to exclude certain spaces from the location breakdown as needed.
