INTERNET ACCESS TO A FACILITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

Information about a facilities management system (10) for a building can be obtained by a remote computer accessing a Web server (33) at the facilities management system via the Internet (50). The Web server (33) employs a generic Web page layout and an active server pages program to create a Web page that displays information from the facilities management system (10). This mechanism does not require that the Web pages be custom developed for each particular building and its unique system configuration. Instead, the present invention provides dynamic Web page construction based on the number of items of data supplied by the facilities management system (10) to the Web server (33). An authoring tool for custom Web page layout also is provided.
