Desk Booking

Assigning permanent desks to individuals

If you have a mix of hot desks and permanent desks then with the new desk editor you can assign desks to individuals.

How it works

If you have a floor plan enabled for desk booking then you can set which desks are hot desks and which desks are permanent desks i.e an individual only ever sits in that seat.

  • The desk can only be booked by the individual assigned to the desk.
  • The user still needs to complete whereabouts to show they are booked into the office and update the office statistics.
  • Users who are in the office every day can simply set a repeat schedule for 52 weeks and book the desk in advance.
  • Office Admins and Company Admins can all still override these desks and cancel a booking.
