Opportunities

Opportunities show areas where the condition of a location or building system might be improved. For example, if a roof has cracks around the vents, you can indicate that there is an opportunity to improve the condition of the roof.

Opportunities can describe changes that are needed due to deficiencies, such as deteriorating materials, and changes that are needed to support environmental enhancements.

Each opportunity has its own lifecycle process in which it is advanced through to the appropriate people to review and approve or defer it. You can defer active opportunities to a future date. When you defer an opportunity, you stamp the record with a future date when you plan to address the opportunity. Deferred opportunities are included in the Total Cost of Opportunities Levels 1 and 2 and Green Condition Index Level 1.

An opportunity also has a priority value that is used to determine how it is accounted for in the Facility Condition Index (FCI) or Condition Index (CI) calculations. You can also provide cost estimates for opportunities to help with the decision making about which ones are addressed. You can set a force rank value to rank certain opportunities higher for decision makers.
