Desk Availability and Reservations
If the employee has permission to reserve the desk and another person has not already reserved it at the selected time, then desks are shown as available.
There are two ways for employees to identify which desks are available for them to reserve:

- Highlighted Desks
Desk Listing
The desk listing displays all of the available desks (green circle) on a floor, followed by unavailable ones (amber circles).
Highlighted Desks
Desks that are available for the user to reserve are highlighted on the floorplan.
Remember you can change the color of the available desks on the floorplan. Learn how to set up the visibility of reserved desks and available desks on the floorplan.
Reserve a Desk

Find Desk Availability for a Specific Date
With Engage, it is simple for an employee to see future desk availability on both the listing and floorplan.

Space Reservations
Reserve a Space
Use Engage to quickly reserve a space such as a meeting room.
Engage can integrate bi-directionally with your organization's Corporate Calendar (as long as it's Exchange/Outlook, Office365, or Google Calendar).
With this integration turned on:
- Your administrator can connect specific spaces (typically meeting rooms, conference rooms, huddle rooms, etc) in Engage to the matching resources in your Corporate Calendar
- Engage users can then see which rooms are free/busy based on their status in your Corporate Calendar
- When Engage users book these spaces in Engage, that booking is automatically synced back to your Corporate Calendar so that everyone can see that its book in Outlook or GCal.
For more details, refer to Engage Calendar Integration and if you have questions, then see Engage Calendar Integration FAQ.
If you don't want to use a Calendar Integration, Engage can be used to make space reservations, refer to Set up Space Reservations without Calendar Integration.
