Design.efficiently Terminology

Understanding Rooms, Spaces, Locations, Item IDs, and Items.

Updated yesterday

Rooms, Spaces, and Locations create the framework for a design schedule.

Room: A Room refers to a main section of the floor plan that requires unifying design selections. A Room can contain smaller sections within, called Spaces (see 'Spaces' below).

Space: A space is typically a smaller section of a plan within a Room. For example, the Room could be 'Living Room', and the Spaces could be 'Living Room', 'Bar', and 'Reading Nook'.

Location: A Location is the place within a project that an Item will be installed.

Item IDs and Items make up the content that goes into a design schedule.

Item ID: An Item ID is a unique identifier that includes the Division and a unique number. Each project selection will include an Item ID (for example, a lighting selection might be called LG-01).

Item: An Item refers to a design selection.


Rooms, Spaces, Locations, Item IDs, and Items make up the framework of a project inside the Design.efficiently platform. Now that you understand these terms, we'll look at all the components that make up a project in the platform.
