WebSpace - Inventory Process
In WebSpace, how do we update for recharge/service/cost center space?
What items need to be reviewed during the WebSpace inventory process?
As part of the WebSpace inventory process, departments will need to review the room type (also referred to as a primary use code) to ensure it reflects the primary use of the space correctly. The assignable square footage (ASF) should also be reviewed for accuracy and updated as needed. Some room types will require all the occupants identified that used the space during Fiscal Year 2023 to serve as the basis for completing the survey.
How is Shared Space handled...
If shared space has been identified in Space Manager, it will be reflected in WebSpace in the following format: <room_number>^<sequence number>. Additional shared space can be designated using the Edit Room process in WebSpace. Rooms can be shared across multiple departments and /or PIs.
Do I need to worry about rooms with room type/primary use code 590 - Unassigned in leased spaces?
Yes, any room currently coded with room type 590 Unassigned, in on-campus leased spaces need to be updated to a more appropriate room type in WebSpace. A list of all room types will be available in WebSpace and can also be downloaded here - https://maps.uw.edu/geosims/room-type-definitions.html. Off-campus leased spaces will not impact the F&A Rate and do not need to be updated in WebSpace.
