Introduction
LSPx offers an enhanced suite of features across multiple modules. The modules include Location-Specific Package Publishing (LSP), Revision Packages, Drawing and Popouts Management, Facility Data Sheets (FDS), Popout assignment, RODs, DCRs, SDDs, ECNs, DMRs, and reports. Built on a robust database architecture which integrates with the PowerHub, LSSHub, FCE Home and GAPs applications, LSPx provides users with a comprehensive suite of features designed to streamline and optimize project management workflows.
One of the key components in LSPx is the Tool Install Schedule, which serves as the home page and central hub for managing tools and their Points of Connection (POCs). This module allows users to easily view, edit, and manage tools and their associated connections, ensuring seamless project execution.
Title bar and Navigation
When you access LSPx, you will see the purple title bar at the top of the screen. From here you can navigate around the application. First time users will be directed to the home page, where you can view the Tool Install Schedule for your site. If you navigate to a different module within the site, you can easily return to the Schedule by clicking the LSPx logo at the top left of the page.
Site Location Filter
In the center of the tool bar, you'll find the Site selection dropdown. This dropdown allows you to pick sites based on your assigned permissions. Once a site is selected, the tool install schedule will automatically update to display the relevant tools for the chosen location. For example, if "Ireland" is selected from the dropdown menu, only the tools on the Ireland site will be displayed on the page.
Navigating to all the LSPx modules
You will find the Modules menu icon in the toolbar at the top of the page. When you click it, you will see icons which will bring you to any of the LSPx modules includingthe Popout assignment page, RODs, LSP DCRs, SDDs, ECNs, DMRs, Reports and the RP Schedule. If you do not have access to a module, then that module’s icon will be greyed out.
Searching for records relating to tools
On the top-center of the page, you'll find the tool search box. This allows you to find all records (RODs, DCRs, DACs, SDDs, DMRs) related to a tool from any page in the application. It also shows records from other tools which mention the searched tool in their key fields. Records from individual POCs or Popout assignments which refer to the searched tool in their comments are also returned. Users can also search for a CEID to get all the tools of that model and any other records than refer to the CEID. You don't need to navigate to different modules to find related information. A single search query gathers all relevant data. You can then follow the links to bring you directly to the relevant record. The system saves your last 10 searches per site, allowing users to quickly re-access frequently needed information.
Tool Install Schedule
The Tool install Schedule grid shows many details of tools on the site you are working on and gives you access to get to the tools' details and the details of POCs and other records related to the tools.
Role-Based & Customizable Grid Views
Above the tool install schedule grid there is a dropdown with six pre-configured, fixed views tailored to specific roles (e.g., Design Manager, Tool Coordinator) and a fully customizable "My View". The first time you log in, the system defaults to the most relevant view based on your roles. "My View" allows you to tailor the grid to your specific needs, showing only the columns that matter to you. Unlike the fixed views, changes to the columns shown, the column order and column widths in "My View" are automatically saved. The system remembers which of the views you last used on each site and returns you to that view when you access the application again.
Row Filtering
To the right of the view dropdown is the row filter dropdown. It has four checkboxes. Checking these boxes will reduce the number of tools displayed in the grid. By default, the "Active" and "POR" values are checked for everyone. For tool to be listed in the grid it must meet all the criteria of the selected filters.
- Active All tools in projects which are active and not archived.
- POR All tools which are on the P3 schedule
- My Tools Tools where you are assigned a role on the tool, for example Area Coordinator or Tool Owner
- My Firm's Tools Tools where the company you work for has any of the following roles on the tool: AE Firm, Trade Mechanical, Trade Electrical, Trade Architectural, Trade Structural, Trade Rigging Trade LSS.
When you select values from the dropdown, the name of the filter changes to reflect the checkboxes you have selected. Your last settings are stored for each site. Be sure to review these filters whenever you cannot find a tool in the grid.
Design Readiness "Traffic Light" Indicators
Some of the columns on the tool install schedule have a red, orange or green colored background. These are the design-readiness fields which give an at-a-glance status of each tool.

Column Options
Although you can use the features below to change the 6 fixed views temporarily, your changes are not saved to those views. Only changes to "My View" are saved. If you work on multiple sites, changes to "My View" are site specific and allow you to have a different configuration for each site.
You can perform several actions on the grid columns by clicking the hamburger icon next to the column header:
- The Pin feature lets you move and pin a selected column to the far left or right in the grid. For example, clicking Pin Left will move the column to the leftmost position, making it the first data column in the grid. If you select No Pin, the column will return to its original position.
- Autosize This Column will automatically adjust the selected column's width to fit the widest content displayed on screen.
- Autosize All Columns will automatically adjust all the grid's columns width to fit their widest content displayed on screen.
- Reset Columns will revert all columns to their default positions and unpin pinned columns.
- Click on the column icon and use the Search... field to find specific columns.
- To show or hide a column, simply select or deselect the corresponding checkbox.
Changes you make to the columns in "My View" are saved to your profile and will be available on your next visit to the application. Changes made to the standard fixed views are not saved.
Filtering Column Values by Attributes
You can filter the values in each column for any attribute by setting your desired conditions. For example, to filter the values for Facility:
- Enter a value directly into the textbox below the Facility column header.
- Alternatively, click the filter icon next to the textbox to open filter options.
- Choose a filter condition, such as Contains, and enter the desired facility name.
This will display only the data that matches your filter criteria.
Filter highlighting and clearing filters
Once you filter on any columns, the filtered columns will be highlighted with a background color to give a visual reminder that you have filters on. You can clear individual column filters by clicking on the filter icon in the column and clicking reset.
You can clear all the column filters by clicking on the "Clear Filters" button above the tool install schedule grid. Note that this does not affect the row filters (All Tools, POR, etc.).
Navigating to tool details and POCs
The kebab icon to the left and right of the grid gives access to different pages of a tool and to POC details. Expand the menu by clicking on the kebab icon. See the table below for details on the menu items available:
| Menu | Purpose | Screenshot |

| Tool Details | Brings you to the tool information page with Stakeholders, Preassignment Tracker, difference forms, leadsheet, tool history, tool comments and DMRs. Revision packs can also be issued from this page |  |
| Points of Connection | Takes you to a tabbed page which lists all the POCs across multiple disciplines associated with the tool. This data is gathered from multiple sources including FaSTr, PowerHub, CommsHub and LSSHub. Database Modification Requests (DMR) can be raised from the discipline tabs. You can also see assigned Popouts and all RODS for the tool |  |
| LSS requests | Used to access Life Safety System details for tools for some disciplines on some sites. |  |
| Create/View DAC | If a DAC exists for the tool, you will be redirected to view the DAC Form. Otherwise, it will open the new DAC form for you to create a DAC |  |
