Book a Hoteling Desk (Web)

Employees can easily book a hotel desk in the SpaceIQ Web App, and you can book a desk from:

  • Book Desk feature - if you don't know which desk to book, then from Book Desk, you can select a future date (or date range) and then see what desks are available. 
  • Floor Map - if you know which desk you want to book, you can quickly book a desk for the next hour or select a future date.

Identify Hoteling Desks on the Floor Map

Spaces with aqua centers represent hotel desks on the floor map.

Hotel desks can be allocated for a department or workplace group or unaffiliated and available for anyone to book. A hotel desk with an aqua center and a black outer ring indicate that the desk is free of departmental association; anyone can book these desks, regardless of department membership. For example, anyone can book this desk:

Hotel desks allocated for a department have aqua centers and a colored outer ring corresponding to departmental and team colors. Department and team colors will vary by organization. 

We'll look at an example from a SpaceIQ account where the Operations department is orange, and the Claims team is purple. This hotel desk is allocated to the Operations department.

When you zoom into the floor map, colors become more defined; this desk is for the Operations department, Claims team:
