Teams of people can be assigned to use any space within a village, providing next-generation flexibility for the hybrid workforce. Also, the support for villages will include a booking rule for Engage Reservations, allowing residents of a village to book any desk within their assigned village. See Allow Employees in a Village to Reserve Desks.

Prerequisite - Set up the Villages

In the Configuration module, you can set up the villages, see Configure Villages. From this area you will be able to:

  • Add or edit a village name, color, and target ratio.
  • Unlink a village from all the neighborhoods and then delete a village.

Manage Villages in the Scenario VBS

When you are in the Scenario Planner you will be able to make scenario plans for your Villages. As your Villages will span multiple buildings you will need to make sure that all buildings that contain the Village are in the scenario plan, or you will not be able to select the Village.

Set up Engage's Desk Reservations Permissions for Villages
