Assign Employees to Seats and allocate a Team
When your Seating Chart has fixed desks, you can assign your unseated employees to their seats and this will allocate the seats to the team (department).
Remember:
- If you have many employees to seat, then you can use the Employee Import to seat the employees in bulk. See Add Employee Seats via the Move Order Import.
- If you want to move or unseat employees, see the Move Seated Employees and Unseat Employees articles.
- Employees who are marked as either "Remote" or "No Desk Needed" cannot be seated.
For Example
This can be used when you want to set up a Team from the same Department.
This article describes the situation of assigning seats to a Finance team.
