Survey Excel Interface

Using the Survey Excel Interface Process, you can export the M-Pathways space data (for rooms to which you have access) to the Survey Excel Template (spreadsheet) to review the data. With the Import role, you can also indicate changes within the spreadsheet and upload them back into M-Pathways. The full process can assist you in maintaining timely and accurate space survey data. There are three high-level steps to the Survey Excel Interface process (outlined in the links below).

Access Requirements: All Space Management system users (SM SURVEY USER role) can use the template to export their unit's room data for viewing purposes.

Because importing data into M-Pathways can significantly change survey data, you must acquire the SM SURVEY IMPORT USER role if you want to use the template to upload changes. Contact your Unit Liaison if you need assistance.

2. Use the Survey Excel Template
