When you want all your employees to reserve any desks in the region.

Region Example

When your business has a campus, for example, a University that has several buildings or a company with several buildings within a city, you will be able to set the Booking Access to the region.

For example, in the Chicago Campus there are three buildings and when your employee's home location is set to one of these buildings then they will be in the region.
