Step 1. Set up the Space Type for Engage

You need to set up the Parking Space's space type for Engage to be Interactable so that employee can interact with it.

1. Navigate to Admin Settings > Reference Data > Space Types.
2. From the Stylized Floorplan Render drop-down, select Interactable to make the space interactive. Learn more in Set up the Space Types for Engage.
3. Uncheck the Default is Reserving Disabled check box.
4. Click the Update Space Type button.

In this example, the space type for the Parking Space has been changed to be Interactable.

 

Step 2. Set up the Desk Reservations for Engage

Next, you will need to update the Engage Booking Access view in the Spaces module so that your employees can reserve the parking space.

The Engage Booking Access can be set to either:

• Everyone - When you want all employees in your business to reserve a parking space.
• Region - 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 allow those employee to reserve a parking space.
• Building - When you have a building and you want only those employees who belong to the building to reserve a parking space.
• Neighborhood - If you want employees of a neighborhood then you will need to allocate the neighborhood to the parking space floor. This will involve the creation of a Parking Space Neighborhood and then you need to allocate the neighborhood to the spaces. Note: This will mean those employees belong to multiple teams in reporting.
• Assign to desk - If you want an employee to reserve a particular parking space, then you will need to assign the person to the parking space. This will involve the creation of a Parking Space team, allocate the team to the spaces, and then assign the employee to the parking space. Note: This will mean those employees belong to multiple teams in reporting.

From the Spaces Module, complete the following:

1. Navigate to Spaces.
2. Use the Location Selector drop-down to navigate to the building and floor.
3. Click the Edit Floor icon.

Step 2. Set up the Desk Reservations for Engage

Next, you will need to update the Engage Booking Access view in the Spaces module so that your employees can reserve the parking space.

The Engage Booking Access can be set to either:

• Neighborhood - If you want employees of a neighborhood then you will need to allocate the neighborhood to the parking space floor. This will involve the creation of a Parking Space Neighborhood and then you need to allocate the neighborhood to the spaces. Note: This will mean those employees belong to multiple teams in reporting.
• Assign to desk - If you want an employee to reserve a particular parking space, then you will need to assign the person to the parking space. This will involve the creation of a Parking Space team, allocate the team to the spaces, and then assign the employee to the parking space. Note: This will mean those employees belong to multiple teams in reporting.

The following articles explain how to complete the set up: 

• Allow Employees in a Team or Neighborhood to Reserve Desks
• Allow Employees to Reserve their Assigned Desk

In our example below the Parking Space floor now has the Engage Booking Access defined as:

• Neighborhood parking spaces for the Facilities team and Sales team.
• Assigned to desk parking spaces for the CEO and Managers.
• Assigned to desk parking space which has been designated as Accessibility Parking.
• Building parking spaces.

Step 3. Set up Accessibility Parking Spaces

If you have employees that require Accessibility parking spaces then you can make sure they are found in Engage.

Step 3.1 Add Markers to the Floorplan

You can add markers to the floorplan and these will display in Engage's floorplan.

• Use the marker tool to add the Wheelchair marker to the floorplan. Learn how to do this in Add, Move, or Remove Markers.

Step 3.2 Update the Attributes

When you add the attribute to the space, this will let employees filter for equipment.

1. Double click the Space. The Edit Space form displays.
2. From the Attributes drop-down, select Accessible Parking Space. If you don't have this in the main list then see Add or Remove the Space's Attributes.

Step 4. Allocate and Assign Parking Spaces in the Block and Stack (VBS)

Now, you are ready to set up the Neighborhood and assign the parking spaces to employees.
