Create a new 'building' (admin)

Creating buildings in AssetLog helps you structure all assets, floors and rooms centrally per location. This makes inspections, maintenance tasks and compliance much more transparent within your real estate portfolio.

1. In the project menu, click “Admin”.
   
   The Admin section groups all configuration and master data so you can centrally manage settings such as buildings, users and other base data.
2. Within Admin, click “Buildings”.
   
   Here you manage all buildings linked to this project, which forms the basis for floors, rooms and assets.
   
   
3. Click “Actions” in the top right.
   
   Through the Actions menu you get additional options, such as creating new buildings, without leaving the overview itself.
   
   
4. In the Actions menu, choose “New”.
   
   This opens the input form for a new building so you can register all relevant data in a structured way.
5. Enter the “Address” in the “Address” field.
   
   By entering the address in one go, AssetLog can better recognize the location later and link it to search or map functions.
6. Click “Lookup” next to or below the address field.
   
   The lookup function helps you verify and complete the address based on existing address data, which reduces input errors.
   
   
7. In “Search Results”, click the correct location.
   
   By choosing the correct result, the address fields are filled automatically with standardized data, which is important for consistent reporting.
   
   
8. Click the “Select a project…” field.
   
   This determines which project the building will be finally linked to, so all follow-up data (assets, tasks) end up in the correct project context.
   
   
9. Search for and click the relevant “Project” (for example:
   “DEMO | Assetlog | Trainingsproject”).
   
   By selecting the correct project you keep your environment clear and prevent buildings from ending up in the wrong project structure.
   
   
10. Check, correct or further complete the different address fields.
    
    Accurate address registration ensures reliable reporting, better findability and supports on-site inspections.
    
    
11. Tick the different checkboxes on or off as desired
    (for example to indicate whether the building is active, visible, or whether certain options apply).
    
    These choices determine if a Google Maps image will be shown to public, if Problem Reports will be activated and if automatically a 'general floor' will be created.
    
    
12. Click “Submit” to save the building.
    
    By confirming, the new building is definitively added to the system and becomes available for further detailing such as floors and rooms.
    
    
13. In the overview, check that a “New Building” has been created.
    
    This check confirms that the registration was successful and is the starting point for further expanding the building structure with floors, rooms and assets.
