See a Clearer Picture with Smarter Layers in AssetWhere

Discover the latest visual and functional enhancements to your school property management system.

The latest AssetWhere update introduces significant upgrades to how your school can view, manage and plan its estate. These changes are designed to make it even easier for schools to see their property data visually, increasing clarity for both everyday facilities management and long term planning.

If your school is using AssetWhere as part of its school facilities management system, this update brings noticeable improvements to map legibility, data layering and the way your estate is represented digitally. For future users looking for a smarter way to manage school property, this update highlights why visual clarity matters when managing large and complex school campuses.

What's New in the Layers, Textures & Tools Update

This update focuses on improvements to layer styling, label positioning, colours and textures, offering a more intuitive view of your school's buildings, grounds and services. Here's a quick look at what's changed and why it matters:

‍

More Realistic and User-Friendly Map Layers

• Recoloured and updated layer legends now use modern colours and better textures to represent real world surfaces like grass, sandpits and paths. Sport fields now show strip-mown grass for a more lifelike finish
• Shadow and line effects enhance visual depth. Shade sails now cast subtle shadows, and dashed lines clearly distinguish fences and gates
• Road markings have been improved to show traffic flow, helping schools plan and communicate safer routes for vehicles and pedestrians

These visual changes make your maps easier to read and help school teams quickly understand usage and plan more effectively.

‍

Better Labels for Sites, Buildings and Rooms

Label placement is key when reviewing school spaces. Previously labels would occasionally fall outside oddly shaped rooms or become hard to read in densely packed areas.

Now labels for buildings, rooms and sites are centred where possible and displayed more consistently across your map. Room names are easier to see, even in clusters of small or adjacent rooms, thanks to updated wrapping logic.

This makes it faster to identify rooms at a glance and supports smoother operations across your school facilities management system.

‍

Smarter Colour Coding for Room Functions

Room function layers have been refined to be more visually balanced and easier to understand. Colours now harmonise with the surrounding landscape, making it simpler to distinguish between teaching spaces, staff areas, student zones and storage.

This helps schools understand how their spaces are being used and supports more informed decisions about room allocation, renovations or space utilisation.

‍

Improved Services Line and Symbol Styles

• New service line styles have white backgrounds and colour coded borders with rounded edges, so start and end points are easier to identify
• Updated service symbols have clearer groupings and no longer have white circle backgrounds that clashed with the map

These changes make it clearer for users when tracking underground assets, utilities and services across your estate. It's another reason why AssetWhere is the leading facilities management software for schools looking to future proof their infrastructure.

‍

Why These Changes Matter

A school estate management platform should work for you, not the other way around. These changes are more than cosmetic - they're designed to improve how facilities teams, school leaders and support staff interact with and interpret their property data.

Clearer visuals mean better planning and day-to-day operations. From identifying teaching zones and understanding traffic flow to locating services and monitoring space usage, AssetWhere now makes every decision point more obvious and more actionable.
