What is a team day?

Encourage collaboration and simplify workspace booking by inviting your colleagues to a team day. Choose a location and date and reserve workspaces for your team members to ensure you can all work together when necessary. 

When workspaces are reserved, colleagues are sent an email invitation and can choose a workspace from the reserved pool. Alternatively, attendees can accept the invitation without booking a workspace, or decline the invitation to let you know they will not attend. Any unbooked workspaces are released from the reserved pool and again available for others to book.

How long are workspaces reserved before being released from the pool? 

The booking window is open until 6AM on the second day after the invitations are sent (excluding weekends). The time available to book a workspace from the reserved pool is noted on the email invitation. 


Good to know

  • Weekends are not included in the booking window. i.e. The booking window for a team day created on Friday for the following Wednesday is open until 6AM on Tuesday.
  • If the team day is booked within the booking window threshold, the booking window will close at 6AM on the day of the team day. i.e. If a team day is created on Monday for the next day (Tuesday), the booking window is open until 6 AM on Tuesday.
  • The threshold for booking a reserved workspace might be customized for your organization but will not be less than 1 day.

 

Team days can only be created from the Condeco mobile app and only if you have access to book personal spaces.

Open your team day from the calendar and see who has responded

  1. To view the team day and see who has responded, tap Calendar (M) at the bottom of the Condeco mobile app screen and then scroll to the date of the team day or tap the date from the calendar.

Invitations accepted after the reservation period: In the first release of the Invite to team day feature, if an invitee accepts the invitation after the reservation period is over, the space will not show who booked the workspace, only that it is booked. In future releases, the space will show the team member who booked it regardless of when it was booked (provided they were invited to the team day). Note: workspaces booked by users not specifically invited to the team day will never display user information.

When invited to a team day, details of the day are sent in an email invitation along with the number of workspaces reserved by the organizer and the time your exclusive access to book one ends. When this time has passed, the workspaces are released from the reserved pool and are again available for others to book.
