See upcoming work and events in Interactive Mapping
You can now see upcoming work orders, preventive maintenance tasks, and events on your maps. With this update, efficiently plan technician routes to more quickly resolve work and avoid event disruptions if emergency maintenance is set to occur.
Work will appear as a blue bubble on the map attached to the building, location, or equipment item the request is connected to. All open work orders will be displayed on the map, and upcoming and overdue preventive maintenance tasks within a 30-day window will appear.
Events will appear on the map as a green bubble. Only fully approved events set to occur within the next 7 days attached to a resource or building will appear on the map.

Manage project dependencies and costs in FMX
With parent/child relationships within FMX, manage capital projects with individual and ordered steps that layer up to the project's completion.
With this feature, organizations can track the associated cost of each step individually and how it adds up in project totality. This ensures organizations complete projects sequentially and can gather data about project costs, leading to better project oversight.
Organizations can set dependencies to ensure steps are followed in the correct order.
After these steps have been resolved, organizations can see the total tracked cost of each step and the total project.
How to set it up
- Go to the Admin Settings and the General section.
- Next, go to the work request module (maintenance, technology, project, or custom) settings and select the modules for which you would like parent/child relationships and associations. Then select "Save."
Once the above steps are done, then you can choose which users have access by following the below steps:
- Go to Admin Settings and the User type section
- Then, select edit for the user type you would like to have access to parent/child requests
- In the User type section, change the View request associations to "Any," "Accessible buildings," or "Own." Then, change the Associate requests field to "Any," "Accessible buildings," or "Own." Users must also have access to the modules you would like to utilize parent/child requests within.
