Space Plan

See where the desk is before you book it.

New feature, for Premium subscribers. Spaces used to be cards: the offices, hot desks, parking spaces and other options in the location you had chosen. Upload a plan of the floor and place those spaces on it, and people can see where a desk is, take one near the colleagues they came in to work with, or find the quiet corner. The plan is yours, so it changes the moment you change it.

A Space Plan in intheOffice, with the spaces that can be booked marked on it

Space Plan in detail

What the plan shows

Each space on the plan carries the places still available and the initials of the colleagues already booked into it. Spaces that book for a whole day appear on the plan; spaces that book by the hour are in the Cards menu.

Choose Day on the Schedule page and every space and desk is on the plan, ready to book when your status for that day is In the office. Green circles carry the initials of the people already there.
