People overview

People are resources that are managed in relation to their space and asset allocations. People can include employees, consultants, and external contacts such as vendors and suppliers.

With people records, you can track and monitor resources. You assign people to organizations and spaces and you can associate assets with the people. You use the information about people when you complete processes such as managing spaces and moves. You might, for example, have a list of all of the employees in a particular building. You can track details about work location, project allocation, and assets that are assigned to employees. As well, you can manage a person's work schedule or availability.

In order for a person to gain access to the IBM® TRIRIGA® applications, that person must also be a valid user in the system. You define the person as an IBM TRIRIGA user in their Employee, Consultant, or External Contact record. All active users have a My Profile record that can be accessed from the user’s portal home page. The My Profile record allows each user to personalize aspects of the system such as the formatting of date and time fields, the default time zone and currency, display colors for graphs, notification preferences, and reservation preferences. Changes to fields that are common between a user’s My Profile record and the user’s Employee, Consultant, or External Contact record become synchronized.
