Space Reservation Overview

Space Reservation Overview

Introduction

In this introductory path, you will learn the basics about how Appspace can be used to manage and reserve workspace resources such as rooms and desks in one or more locations. Appspace provides the necessary tools for you to create an inventory of all workspace resources that are reservable, and can also integrate with calendar providers such as Google Calendar and Microsoft Office 365 to sync availability data.

Employees can reserve workspace resources in advance using the Employee App, or they can instantly book a room on location using the room check-in endpoints.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you meet the following prerequisites:

  • An Appspace Premium user license.
  • An active Appspace account in the cloud.
  • An Appspace account that is enabled with the Reservations module.
  • Permissions to create and manage locations.
    • Get these permissions with the Location Admin role.
  • Permissions to register and manage devices.
    • Get these permissions with the Location Admin role.
  • Permissions to create and publish channels.
    • Get these permissions with the Location Admin role or Publisher role.
  • Compatible devices for room check-in endpoints.
  • Any device with a web browser for making workspace reservations.

Important
The Employee App and Reservations are only available on Appspace public/private cloud 8.0 and later. It is not supported on 8.0 on-prem.

Create, Manage, and Make Reservations

Appspace has a collection of tools that lets you create reservable workspaces such as rooms and desks that can be reserved by employees and visitors. These workspaces can be imported from a calendar provider, or can be created directly in Appspace itself. The workspaces can also be linked to Room Schedule and Schedule Board templates to display current meetings and reservation information.

Congratulations!

You now know how to use the tools to create and manage the inventory of available workspace resources, and how to book reservations.

You can create and manage workspace resources at anytime using the Reservation module, and track usage statistics through the Analytics module. Employees can book reservations using the Employee App or book on location.
