Learn how to import your data into Senbee Connect

Import Data

Dimensions represent entities such as companies, departments, roles, vendors, and more. Use the import tool to bulk-add or update these records.
The process is identical for all dimension types, but required fields differ slightly.

Importing Dimensions

People imports let you create or update user and contact profiles in bulk, including their roles and basic credentials.

Importing People

Connected People

Add new people to Senbee so they can be onboarded, assigned to dimensions, and given access to services.


Creating a New Person

Attach companies, departments, or other dimension types to a person’s profile to ensure accurate grouping and permissions.

Assigning Dimensions to a Person

Link services such as access rights, resources, or system roles to a person’s profile as part of their onboarding process.

Assigning Services to a Person

The onboarding flow guides each new person from initial creation to full access, ensuring no critical step is missed.
Admins can track this progress in the status bar at the top of every person’s profile.

Understanding the Onboarding Flow

Tailor the onboarding process to match your organization’s workflow by adding, reordering, or editing steps.

Customizing Onboarding Steps

Update a person’s profile whenever names, contact information, or other details change.
Every update is automatically recorded in the Activity log for full audit history.

Editing a Person’s Details

The Activity log provides a complete timeline of every action on a person’s profile—from dimension assignments to welcome-letter sends—so you can track changes and maintain compliance.


Viewing and Using the Activity Log

When someone no longer needs access to Senbee, you can either deactivate their account to suspend access or remove it entirely.
Use these options to manage offboarding while keeping your records accurate.

Deactivating or Removing a Person

Dimensions are the core building blocks for organizing data and permissions in Senbee.
They represent entities that people, rooms, and other resources can be linked to, making reporting and access control easier.

Understanding Dimensions

Keep your Senbee environment organized by creating and maintaining Dimensions.
Dimensions represent entities such as companies, departments, vendors, or custom groups that people and resources can be linked to.

Custom Databases

In Senbee Connect, administrators can create custom databases within any category to store and manage unique datasets.

For example, if you want to track ESG data for buildings, you can create a custom database directly in the Buildings category.

# Managing Custom Databases

Collections

Collections let you define custom datasets inside Senbee and connect them to people, facilities, and other entities.
They act as flexible containers for any type of structured information—think of them as your own tailor-made databases within the platform.

Understanding Collections

Create a custom dataset in Senbee to model anything your organization needs, and place it in the left-hand navigation where it belongs.

Creating a New Collection

Fields define the structure of your collection.
Each record in the collection will include these fields, which can be text, numbers, dates, relationships to other datasets, and more.

Adding and Configuring Fields

Collection settings control how your dataset appears in the interface and how its records are identified across Senbee.

Managing Collection Settings

Update a collection’s details as your dataset evolves, or remove it entirely when it’s no longer needed.

Editing or Deleting a Collection

Create relationships between a collection and other entities—such as People, Rooms, or Dimensions—to connect your custom data with the rest of Senbee.
These links make it possible to filter, report, and navigate across datasets seamlessly.

Linking Collections to People and Facilities

Once the data management feature is live, you can create, view, and edit individual records inside any collection you’ve built.
This turns your collection into a fully functioning dataset that you can search, filter, and relate to other parts of Senbee.

Using Data in a Collection

Manage all the facilities in your buildings 

Facility Management

Senbee Connect’s Facility Management module lets you structure and manage all aspects of your physical environment — from broad locations down to individual rooms. This hierarchy gives you a clear overview and makes it easy to link data, assign responsibilities, and track assets.

Facility Management Overview

Locations are the top-level areas where your estates are situated, typically categorized by country, region, or city. They provide the foundation for organizing all estates, buildings, and facilities beneath them.


Managing Locations

Estates represent a campus, land area, or large site within a location. Estates can contain multiple lots and buildings, forming the bridge between geographic areas and physical facilities.

Managing Estates

Buildings are physical structures within an estate. Each building can contain multiple floors and rooms, and carries its own address and location data.

Managing Buildings

Floors represent the levels inside a building. Each floor contains rooms that can be managed individually.


Managing Floors

Rooms are the defined spaces inside a floor, such as offices, labs, meeting rooms, or storage areas. Rooms are the most granular unit in facility management.

Managing Rooms

Lots represent outdoor areas associated with an estate, such as parking, bike storage, or recreational spaces.

Managing Lots
