Equipment Groups and Shared Calendar

HakoBio now introduces two new features designed to make equipment management and collaboration easier: Equipment Groups and Shared Calendars.

Equipment Grouping

Equipment Grouping is a feature that allows you to create groups of equipment so they can be quickly identified and located at a glance on a plan.

Creating an Equipment Group

To create a group, first open the project in view-only mode. Once inside the project, you can create a group using one of the following two methods.

Method 1: Select Equipment Directly from the Digital Twin

1. Hold down the Ctrl key.
2. Click once on each piece of equipment you want to include in the group.
3. After selecting the equipment, a modal window will appear in the upper-left corner of the screen.
4. Click the button in the modal window to create the equipment group.

Method 2: Use the Star Button

Click the star button to access the group dashboard. This dashboard displays all equipment groups created within the entity. From this interface, you can find:

• Private equipment groups
• Public equipment groups

Book Your Equipment Group

You can reserve your own group or a public group directly from the Agenda section of the Asset Manager.

When selecting resources, choose the group category. You can then search directly for the name of the equipment group.

Once selected, all equipment belonging to that group will automatically be added to the reservation.

Using Equipment Groups in a Personal Calendar

Just like you can create personal calendars based on equipment, rooms, or HVAC systems, you can now also create calendars based on equipment groups.

To do this:

1. Add resources to your calendar.
2. Select the Group search option.
3. Search for the name of the equipment group you want to add.

Shared Calendar

You can now share your personal calendars with colleagues:

1. Open your personal calendar.
2. Click the Share button.
3. Enter the email address of the person you want to share the calendar with.

Remove a Shared Calendar

When a calendar has been shared with you, you always have the option to unlink yourself from this calendar at any time.

To do this, simply click the unlink icon on the shared calendar.
