#### **Dashboard**

This is the default setting. What you see on your dashboard, will be based on the permissions your Administrator has selected for you.

#### **Work Orders**

**![](https://support.espace.cool/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-41-25-1346-PM.png?width=240&height=236&name=undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-41-25-1346-PM.png)**

- **All Work Orders** - View **ALL** work orders and filter them by their status or sort them by the different column headers.

![](https://support.espace.cool/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-41-29-9083-PM.png?width=670&height=348&name=undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-41-29-9083-PM.png)

- **Transfer Work Orders** - This allows you to reassign work orders assigned to a specific user, location, department or service category to a different one.

![](https://support.espace.cool/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-41-39-5098-PM.png?width=670&height=273&name=undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-41-39-5098-PM.png)

- **Space** **Availability -** Search and find times when spaces are available for work order maintenance.

![](https://support.espace.cool/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-41-45-7436-PM.png?width=670&height=395&name=undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-41-45-7436-PM.png)

- **Export to iCal** - Export work orders that are already created or generated on the internal calendar to a Google or Outlook Calendar so others can view them outside of eSPACE *(this is only a one-way sync that refreshes about every 15 min)*.

![](https://support.espace.cool/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-41-51-3050-PM.png?width=670&height=243&name=undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-41-51-3050-PM.png)

#### **Maintenance (PM - Preventive Maintenance)**

This will be visible on the **Administrator(s) Sidebar only**.

![](https://support.espace.cool/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-41-55-9036-PM.png?width=275&height=236&name=undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-41-55-9036-PM.png)

- **Add Maintenance \[PM\]** - Create new scheduled maintenance (Ex: Quarterly Filter Change)
- **List Maintenance \[PM\]** - All created scheduled maintenance items.

#### **Equipment (Management)**

**![](https://support.espace.cool/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-42-01-8693-PM.png?width=277&height=55&name=undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-42-01-8693-PM.png)**

All pieces of equipment (HVAC Unit, toilets, etc.) listed with detailed information & that has been added by an Administrator plus all History pertaining to any piece of equipment.

**Current Inventory** - This is a list of your current in-stock inventory items showing quantity on hand, by inventory item type and location.

#### **Calendar**

**![](https://support.espace.cool/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-42-07-3591-PM.png?width=270&height=61&name=undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-42-07-3591-PM.png)**

![](https://support.espace.cool/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-42-12-3031-PM.png?width=670&height=319&name=undefined-Feb-20-2026-05-42-12-3031-PM.png)

You can create a work order from the calendar and view all work orders here. When you hover over a work order on the calendar, you will see a pop-up with details that include category, description, status, and ETA.

- Use the **filter options** to see specific work orders at different locations, assigned to different departments, Service Categories, users and/or different priorities.
