A PSI record is defined by the four fields that make it unique - campus number, building abbreviation, room (space) number and line number. This is the PSI master file key.
PSI records should not be entered if the BCI does not have the campus/building abbreviation on file. An exception is made for any building abbreviation for which all spaces are parking space types.
When creating building abbreviations and room numbers do not use under score or embedded spaces. Special characters other than dash (-) are discouraged.
Campus use flags can be made blank by entering an asterisk (*) in the field on a change transaction.
All lines for the same room must have the same reported NSF value.
If height of room is not entered on an add, it will default to nine feet (09.00).
For a room, the sum of the % space multiplied by % time must equal 100.
% time and % space is recorded as 00 to 99 with ** representing 100%. On an add, if left blank, PSI will default these fields to ** (100%).
PSI can process mass changes to a building's room number (changes all lines that match current room number within the building to the new room number).
PSI can process mass changes to a building abbreviation (all records that match previous building abbreviation is changed to new building abbreviation).
Additionally, mass changes to department (chart of account), status codes and space types can be processed at the campus or building level. These changes should be identified to the SUCF PSI Coordinator for processing.
Total building NSF should not exceed building GSF from BCI.
Instruction spaces must have number of stations recorded. Other spaces may have number of stations in the database.
Space type codes must be valid.
