Learning Objectives

After reading this article, you’ll be able to:

  • Configure indirect utilization setup with motion sensors

  • Configure the device to its location in the Workplace Platform

Each SEAT (in the meeting room) needs to be a WORKPLACE

  • Make sure each meeting room seat corresponds to a workplace object

  • IWMS "Workplaces" objects to be created in/under the correct ROOM object, which in turn should be in the correct room category -> make sure room categories are correctly mapped in Studio

  • Make sure the capacity for meeting rooms is set correctly in Studio (ref Room capacity)

  • Reminder: Workplace objects can only be linked to SVG floorplans in Studio

 Which steps do you need to take if the old config has been set up for your customer?

  • Conference room seats should not exist anymore as rooms -> should be workplaces

  • Workplaces to be created in/under the correct ROOM object, which in turn should be in the correct room category -> make sure the IWMS room categories are correctly mapped in Studio

  • Old zone config should be removed (if wanted to set up “zones”: work with Location Grouping Zones)

  • Make sure the capacity for meeting rooms is set correctly in Studio (see Room capacity)

  • Workplaces can only be linked to SVG floorplans in Studio; make sure these are available for the floors that are impacted by this update

How is utilization calculated in case both a room and workplaces are linked to a motion sensor?

Occupancy

  • Presence on room level is true in case presence is true for 1 or more seats OR if presence is true for the sensor linked to the room itself

    • So if someone walks around in the room, and the motion sensors allocated to the seats are not triggered, but the room motion sensor is triggered -> presence = true

Utilization

  • If presence detected on seat level AND room level, utilization/headcount will only be calculated based upon the sum of the triggered seats. It ignores the room motion sensor.

    • So if 2 people sit on a chair/seat and trigger the the motion sensor, headcount will be 2

  • If presence is detected ONLY on room level and not on seats, headcount is set to minimum 1

    • So if someone walks around in the room, but seats motion sensors are not triggered, headcount is 1
