Reflecting on 2023

With 2023 having come to an end and 2024 in full swing, Dan Lorenz, President of AMS Workplace Technology, is reflecting on the exciting year that was 2023.

Accomplishments & Activities

FMS Marketplace

With the launch of FMS Marketplace in 2023, AMS is proud to have these items available:

In the FMS Marketplace, we have several plug-ins available for purchase!

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.

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.

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!

Dynamix Homepage Solution

Dynamix allows you to better organize and manage the home page content associated with each user role in an easy-to-use interface. An administrative interface allows you to configure unique solutions that adhere to corporate branding standards. It includes multiple widgets so administrators can build dynamic, role-driven content, incorporate announcements, configure role-based searching and results, add statistical data, configure robust charting, show portfolio locations via mapping, and more!

AMS Visual Asset Manager

View and Place Assets

Using the AMS Visual Asset Manager, you can easily manage the locations of all assets in your buildings. Built to plug right into your existing FMS:Workplace environment, the AMS Visual Asset Manger solution gives you the tools to:

  • Drag and drop assets directly onto your floorplans
  • View asset information
  • Query assets to find all assets that match a certain condition
  • Visually represent icons using custom SVG’s

Launch of FMS:Connect

In December of 2023, FMS:Connect was launched by FM:Systems. FMS:Connect is an enhanced representational state transfer (REST) API that enables fast and secure bidirectional data transfers between FM:Systems solutions and a range of external applications. The new, powerful, and actionable insights gained from FMS:Connect will help organizations identify areas for improvement – such as streamlining HR, IT, and asset management tasks – laying the foundations for a future where data connectivity drives efficiency and success.
