Change Seat to a Hot Desk

Hot Desks are used to share work spaces in an unstructured manner with employees. When a seat is a hot desk, it cannot be either assigned or booked. This can be useful when you have visitors to your office, and they need to use a desk. Or when your employees are moving between meetings, this allows them to stop for a moment and catch up.

Remember that you can change a single desk or multiple desks to a new usage type.
