"We're watching
out for you!"

The departmental Space Management System (SMS) was created to assist with the SMS annual space review process.  This process was formerly a manual annual process but has now been automated.  The goal is to empower the HSC departments to conduct their space allocation review online.  These enhancements will facilitate the entire facilities inventory process with timely data and augment the existing space data reporting system.  In the training guide, you will find the activities and steps of SMS described in detail.

For questions pertaining to the rules and regulations on Space Management, please contact Linda Styles at #567-2024.

For questions pertaining to the mechanics of entering the information online, please contact the DCATS office at #567-0180.

The next SMS Training will be held on January 9th, 2007!

DCATS, a part of the Information Management - Client Support Services Department, offers a 3-hour class that teaches a user how to extract, update, verify and approve room changes online.  The departmental ACE will be required to complete a P.S.A.R. form to request access for the new user.  All users must complete training before access to SMS is granted to them.  Please visit The Knowledge Centre, and enroll in the course titled "DCATS Space Management System training". Classes are offered every two months.

The actual time it takes to complete the class varies depending on the number of participants, questions, and familiarity of participants with computers and the system.
