You can add a Desk that your employees can book using the Booking Tool and the Teem mobile app.

Prerequisites

Before you add a space, it is important to understand the Teem space hierarchy and override settings. Space hierarchy is the space structure for your entire organization that defines where your rooms live. Teem’s Space Hierarchy’s various levels in order:  

  • Organization
  • Campus
  • Building
  • Floor
  • Space

It’s important to note that you don’t have to set all hierarchy levels’ settings. Many deployments can just set the Organization settings and be ready to go. However, you can override settings anywhere within the hierarchy. Overrides give you the ability to make an exception to any of the default settings you’ve made for your organization and have that exception apply to all levels below in the space hierarchy.

Learn more about space hierarchy and override settings as well as recommended EventBoard Room Display settings.

5. If you have Space Profiles set up, then from the Desk Profile drop-down, select a space profile for the room.

We recommend that you set up the space profile for the room as this will save you time. Learn more in Add Space Profile for a Desk. When you select the space profile this will populate the settings such as desk photo.

6. In the Name field, enter the desk's name(s).

If you want to add multiple desks (up to 100 desks) then either enter the desk's name and press the Enter key OR you can copy the desk names from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and paste this into the field.
