Add a Room or multiple Rooms

You can add a Room that your employees can book using integrated work calendars, Teem mobile app,  Room Display (EventBoard), and Booking Tools.

Meetings scheduled in these rooms will show in the Room Display (EventBoard).

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 spaces live. Teem’s Space Hierarchy’s various levels in order: 

  • Organization
  • Campus
  • Building
  • Floor
  • Desks, Rooms, and Lobbies

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.
