Distinguish the records

Record	Use
Address entrance	Entrance or address-number point on the map, with address and source IDs
Building	Physical building record
Building plan	Total unit count, count basis, count scope and an optional manually defined target
Independent units	Details of individual doors or sections within a building
Endpoints	Technical planning records with a purpose, status and design port provision

Declared unit in source on an address entry is not added directly to potential. One building may have several address entries; adding these declarations may count the same units more than once.

Link an address entry to a building

Open the address entry card.
Under Building link, select Link to building.
Select an appropriate existing building or Create building (at this address location).
For a new building, check New building unit count. Leave an unknown count blank.
Select Link and check the relationship in the card.

For an incorrect link, use Remove link and link again. Proximity suggestions alone do not confirm a building match.

Enter the building plan

In the building card, open Plan under Addresses and capacity.
Complete Unit count (total) and Count basis.
Select Count scope: Current plan, Future phase, Under construction or Out of scope.
Enter Manual destination (endpoint) and Note if needed.
Select Save.

If there are genuinely no units, enter a total of 0 with Known as the basis. If the count is unknown, leave it blank and use Unknown, or Empty list in source where appropriate. An empty list is not the same as a verified zero.

Add under Independent units creates a door or section number, floor, use and scope record. Listed units provide detail for the declared total; the two counts are not added together. If the listed unit count exceeds the total, the calculation takes this into account and issues a warning.

Add an endpoint

In the building card, select Add under Endpoints.
Complete Purpose, Status and Design capacity (ports).
Select Unit (optional) if needed; otherwise the endpoint belongs to the building itself.
To refer to a technical record in another system, use External reference: system and External reference: ID.
Select Save.

External reference fields are record information; they do not start automatic data exchange. After an endpoint is created, its linked unit cannot be changed in the editing form.

Review addresses in groups

Group addresses into buildings in Capacity suggests groups for unlinked addresses. Proximity, block/parcel and building ID are used to generate candidates.

Review the addresses and any conflicts in each candidate group.
Select Create building or Link to existing building.
Confirm Unit count for a new building. Different source declarations are not added automatically.
Select only the groups you have reviewed.
Select Confirm selected groups and check each result.

Interpret potential and access

Capacity shows potential, target, assignment and shortfall; unknown building totals are identified separately. Target and assignment are assessed for endpoints with the selected calculation purpose. Ports serving other purposes do not cover that shortfall.

A cable endpoint at a building does not count as access. Access indicators calculated from planned or existing endpoint statuses also do not independently prove a connected or active technical circuit. See Technical circuits and Quantities and network occupancy.
