Allow Employees in a Cost Center to Reserve Desks

Level: System Administrator / Serraview ImplementationTeam

When you want your employee with a particular cost center (or child cost centers) to book a space, for example, desk or meeting room. Also, when a space is allocated to a neighborhood then any person within the teams' cost center (or child cost centers) can book a space.

In the Block and Stack, you can see that the 4th Floor of the Hunting Office is allocated to the cost center Loans (7400) and the children cost centers are Loan Operations (7410) and Loan Servicing (7420).

In this example, you will set up the employees in the cost center (or child cost center) to be able to reserve the desks.
