Next, you can look at the neighborhood's statistics and if needed, you can set up reservation rules so your employees can reserve the spaces.

Step 4. Add Member(s) to the Neighborhood

You can add people (users) to be members of the neighborhood, and this is where you need to make sure the user is set to be Hybrid. This can be completed in Assign Hybrid User to a Neighborhood.

Step 5. Set up the Reservation Rules

If you want the employees in the neighborhood to reserve the spaces, then you can set up a reservation rule.

For example, below, you can see the rules are for the:

  • East Neighborhood and includes all members.
  • West Neighborhood and includes all members.

Therefore, any employee who is a member of the neighborhood can reserve a space.
