To assist with your region's COVID-19 restrictions your business can limit the number of people visiting a building by setting a capacity limit. This can be set for all building locations or set particular building locations.

Capacity restrictions are set by the percentage of hotel desks that can be booked on a floor. For example, if there are 20 hotel desks on a floor and the capacity limit on a floor is 50%, only 10 desks on that floor can be booked. Here's what employees will see when they try to book a desk on a floor that has reached its booking capacity limit:

Step 2. Set the Default Booking Capacity for All Locations

By default, the booking capacity restriction is 50% and this percentage applies to all building locations.

  1. In the Capacity field, either enter or select a percentage.

Step 3. Set the Capacity Restrictions by Location

You may have some or a majority of locations that require 50% booking capacity, and some locations that require 25% or 35% booking capacity.

The Specify Restrictions per Location settings allow you to create different capacity restrictions for one or more locations. Each capacity restriction is created as a group with one or more locations assigned to it.

This is an example where the default capacity restriction is 50%.  All building locations are restricted by 50%, except for these designated groups: 25% capacity for Chicago and Boston; 35% capacity for Atlanta.

Here you can create a group of locations with an alternate booking capacity, such as 25%.

  1. Toggle the Specify Restrictions per Location setting to ON.

For example, if you want to assign 35% capacity to the Atlanta location, add a 35% group that contains Atlanta.
