Manage Neighborhoods Overview
A neighborhood can be created to group a number of employees together that are not assigned to individual seats. On the floor map, you can define which seats belong to a neighborhood by using the Neighborhood usage type.
A neighborhood is created on one floor in one building; it cannot span across multiple floors or buildings. Neighborhood seats can be located anywhere on a floor, either in a single group or scattered in different locations on one floor.
This article will teach you about managing neighborhoods and provide links to related topics.
