Ways to pre-populate Organization Areas list?

Question

I am looking for a way to pre-populate the Organization Area list in the Space Planner - Allocate tab. Right now the software requires manual loading of individual org. I tried to pre-assign units with unique values extracted from the Occupants - ORG_LEVEL_1 field, but Space Planner seems to ignore it (even worse, if it detects a preassigned value it messes up your existing plan and refuses to display the entire Unit layer). Since the values are already loaded in as a domain list, is there a way for the allocations to happen all at once?

I haven't figured out a way to do any manual editing within the default fields in the Areas table and have it work correctly. I've only ever gotten it to work by loading them one by one from within the Space Planner app. I haven't been able to restore from a backup of an older Areas table that was created within the Space Planner app either (by appending it back into a new blank Areas table) but I didn't get a chance to dig into that method as deep so perhaps it is still possible.

Maybe I wasn't clear in the original post, but I am looking for a way have this list preloaded (don't even need the allocation to happen) so I can grab room on the map and start doing the allocation right away. I tried to preload the Org areas into the Area table and set them to Organization, but the list in a new plan still shows up empty. I am using ArcGIS Online for reference.

Hi @ZiweiZ6352, you can pre-populate after referring to the Indoors information model specifically fields in the Areas table (AREA_ID, AREA_TYPE, CONFIG) and Units layer (ORG_AREA_ID and ALLOCATIONS). Create a new plan after making such changes. Add one area manually and merge to carefully understand the changes.
