How to edit room information
The sensors supply the measurements, but name, description, room type and floor area are things you register yourself. This information is edited directly in the indoor climate table.
It's worth doing: a room called "Sensor 14" is hard to act on, and without a floor area, per-square-metre key figures can't be calculated.
You need write access to edit room information.
How to edit room information
- Open the building you want to work on. See How to switch building and search for a building.
- Go to Indoor climate in the sidebar.
- Click Edit in the top right.
- Change the fields in the table:
- Name — enter the room name
- Description
- Room type — choose from the list
- Area [m²]
- Click Save changes.
To discard what you've changed, click Cancel.
Note: The table stays in edit mode until you save or cancel. Leave the page with unsaved changes and they're gone.
Which fields matter where
Field | Where it's used |
|---|---|
Name | in the table, in alarms and in notes — this is what others know the room by |
Description | additional information in the table |
Room type | lets rooms of the same type be compared and sorted together |
Area [m²] | the basis for per-square-metre key figures |
Floor and sub-building are used for filtering. If they aren't set, the Floor filter is empty — see How to filter indoor climate by sub-building and floor.
Frequently asked questions
Do I get an error if saving fails?
Yes. The message Couldn't update room info for … names the room in question, so you know which one to redo.
Can I change several rooms at once?
Yes. In edit mode you can change several rows before saving, so do a whole floor in one pass.
Why can't I change the measurements?
Sensor values come from the sensors and can't be edited. Only the information you register yourself is editable.
Why don't I see the Edit button?
You have read access.
Tip!
Use the same naming convention as the rest of your documentation — the same room numbers as on the floor plan and in the FDV documentation. Whoever gets an alarm about "2nd floor meeting room north" should be able to walk straight there without looking anything up.
