Team day invitations

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.

Team days can be accepted or declined from the Condeco mobile app or from 'Your team' on Condeco on the web.

• Create team days from the Condeco mobile app: You can create team days, invite colleagues, and reserve spaces from the Condeco mobile app.
• Available only for users who can book personal spaces: The 'Reserve area for team day' button is only visible on the Condeco mobile app if your organization has configured bookable personal spaces in Condeco, and you have the relevant access to make bookings. The team day feature must also be enabled for your organization.
• What type of workspace can be reserved? Only personal spaces that are a place to work (desks, for example) can be reserved. Other workspace types such as lockers, parking spaces, and meeting spaces, cannot be reserved through the team day feature and must be booked separately if needed.
• Who can be invited to a team day? Only the colleagues you have added to your team are available to select for your team day. 
• When are the workspace reservations secured? The workspace reservations are only secured after you tap 'Send invites' at the end of the process.
• How long are workspaces reserved for? The booking window is open until 6 AM on the second day after the invitations are sent. The time available to book a workspace from the reserved pool is noted on the email invitation. Note the following:
  • 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.
• How do I cancel some or all of the reserved workspaces? Reserved workspaces can only be canceled from the Condeco web app's booking grid for personal spaces. However, if the team day is canceled, any unbooked reserved workspaces are also canceled.

• What happens if someone else books a selected workspace before the reservation is secured? If a workspace you selected to reserve is booked by someone else before the invitations are sent and the reservation secured, a message is displayed giving the option to review your selections.
• How do I view responses to my team day event? View your colleagues' responses to the team day events you create from the Calendar on the mobile app.
• Can I respond to a team day invitation from Condeco on the web? Yes, you can accept or decline team day invitations from Condeco on the web and if spaces are reserved, one is automatically assigned to you from the pool. To choose a specific personal space from the reserved pool, accept the invitation from the mobile app.
• What happens if I cancel a team day? If the team day is canceled, invited colleagues are sent a notification by email, and the reserved workspaces that are not yet booked are canceled. Any booked workspaces remain booked and must be canceled by the users if no longer required.
