AMS User Activity Tracker

This extension keeps a running log of user activity that allows you to identify what users are using the system for. Tracking areas include Logins, Views/Forms, Reports, Floor Plans, and more. This information can be used to assist in system cleanup, help with troubleshooting for users, and optimize home page design and links.

AMS Drag & Drop File Attachments

Attaching multiple documents and other files to records such as assets, moves, and work orders is now easy and efficient via common drag-and-drop actions. Our Drag & Drop File Attachments extensibility object (EO) can be used with ANY data grid view that has a child view for document attachments. The EO can be added by the customer as needed to a data view for viewing or editing. This tool works for every module, every data view, and makes it easy and fast to attach multiple documents to a record rather than the tedious one-at-a-time standard method.

AMS Visual Asset Manager

Whether it’s furniture, artwork, lab equipment, or other asset types, keeping track of where assets are located on a floor plan can be challenging and time-consuming. Knowing that an asset is located somewhere in a room is helpful, but knowing where it is within a room or space provides much better support for finding and managing asset data. The Visual Asset Manager add-on for OpenBlue Workplace works seamlessly with the out-of-the-box Asset Management Module and floor plan Graphic Views to allow you to take control of placing, querying, and updating asset data and locations – no CAD software needed!

AMS Grid View Batch Printer

Our Grid View Batch Printer extensibility object (EO) makes it easy to print one, several, or all of the entries selected ("checked") in any data grid view. The EO can be added by the customer as needed to a data view and can be configured to send the selected records to a designated SSRS or FMx Report. This flexible tool works for every module, every data view, and makes it easy to quickly generate reports of selected records for printing!
