The home screen shows one day at your office. You see whether you are booked, office announcements, who joins lunch, your facility bookings and how full the rooms and parkings are.

The home screen

The header

At the top of the home screen you find:

  • The name of your office.
  • On the left, a round office button. You only see it when you work at more than one office. See Working at more than one office.
  • On the right, your profile picture. Select it to open your profile, your notifications and your preferences. A red badge on it means you have unread notifications.

The date bar

The date bar shows the days you can book, starting today. How far ahead you can book is set by your office.

The date bar
  • Today is marked Today.
  • The selected day is highlighted. Select another day to see that day on the home screen.
  • Days on which you are booked have a lighter highlight.
  • Saturdays and Sundays are faded and cannot be selected.
  • Days on which the office is closed are faded too, but you can still select them to read the announcement.
  • Scroll the date bar sideways to see more days.

The cards

Below the date bar you see a number of cards for the selected day. Which cards you see depends on the settings of your office and on your role.

Announcements

Announcements from your office administrator appear at the top. You cannot dismiss them.

  • A closure day is shown as a warning. On that day you cannot book, and lunch, workplace occupancy and the attendance overview are hidden.
  • Other announcements are shown as information, for example news or practical notes.

Present at the office

This card shows whether you are booked for the selected day, and for which room and parking.

  • Select the card to open the Reserve workspace form and book or change your day. See Booking a workplace.
  • The switch on the card shows whether you are booked. Turning it on opens the same form.
  • The QR button next to it is for checking in. You only see it today, when you are booked and your office uses QR codes. See Checking in and out.

Turning the switch off cancels the whole day

Turning the switch off deletes your booking for the whole day, morning and afternoon, straight away. There is no confirmation. To cancel only one half day, open the form instead.

Group reservations

A purple button for group leaders. It opens your group reservations. See Planning group reservations.

If your office has lunch, a small card with a fork icon shows how many people join lunch on the selected day. The card is highlighted when you join too. Select it to see a searchable list of everyone who joins, under the title Lunch.

Who joins lunch

Next to it there can be a button that opens a web page chosen by your office, for example the intranet. If the link is wrong, you see This link is invalid. Ask the administrator to provide a valid link.

My Facilities

Your facility bookings for the selected day, such as meeting rooms. This card is read only. To change a booking, go to Facilities. See Facilities.

Workplace occupancy

A button that opens the floor plan with all booked or checked-in desks. Depending on your office it says Show workplace occupancy or Workplace occupancy. See Floor plan and desks.

Company medic

A tile that shows how many company medics are checked in today. Select it to see who they are, where they sit and how to call them. See Company medics.

The attendance overview

At the bottom of the home screen you see how busy the office is on the selected day. The morning and the afternoon are shown side by side.

Who is in a room

PARKINGS

Only when your office has parkings. For each parking you see a P, its name, how many spots are booked out of the total, and a bar that fills up as it gets busier. Select a parking to see who parks there.

ROOMS & SPACES

The rooms of your department, or all rooms if you have no department. For each room you see how many places are taken out of the total and a fill bar. A pin marks the room you are booked in.

Select a room to see a searchable list of who is there. Invitees of a group reservation who have not replied yet are in the list too. Select a person to open their profile.

Refresh

The home screen updates by itself when bookings change.
