Learning Objectives
After reading this article, you’ll be able to:
Make a reservation on the Workplace app by scanning a QR code
Start by looking for the best fit to your requirements, and then make the reservation
There’s different ways of booking a Meeting Room, Workplace, or Parking space, depending on requirements: is the user in front of the location he wants to book? Or is he looking for the best fit to specific requirements?
When the user is in front of the location he wants to book
If the location bears a QR code linked to Workplace, a user can book this location in under 20 seconds:
Open action item “Scan to Book Now”
Scan the location QR code
Select the end-time of the reservation (either by drag-and-drop on the timeline or by selecting a preset (1h, 2h, 4h or until end of the day)
Optional “Booking Details”: indicate who is reservation responsible
When you’re looking for the best fit to your requirements
Step 1. Select the location you want to book
Location selection can have different starting points:
You can use the floorplan (either select Action button “View Floor Plan” or by using Floors card). Upon location selection, user is brought to Resource Detail Screen.
You can immediately go to Resource Detail Screen by selecting one of your favorite resources on the Home Screen.
You can use different Action buttons "Book a Meeting Room / Book a Workplace / Book a Parking space" on the home screen, to search on date/time, specific location or category etc
In each of the Action buttons “Book a … (resource)”, 3 tabs are shown:
Step 2. Resource Detail Screen
On Resource Detail Screen, select “Book this … (resource)”
As described above, in some cases, you’ll skip this step
Step 3. Resource Booking Screen
If you have not filled in search criteria in Step 1: Resource Booking Screen allows you to provide a meeting title, select date/time, enter number of of participants
If you’ve filled in search criteria in Step 1: Resource Booking Screen repeats the most important information on the reservation request (date/time, number of participants), and allows you to add extra information such as a meeting subject to the reservation.
Time zone deviation between the location time zone and device time zone will be indicated.
While creating a reservation, you can make a booking for someone else.
When a new responsible person is selected, this person becomes the actual organizer of the meeting, and this meeting will appear in his/her reservation agenda.
When booking on behalf of someone else, the reservation scope restrictions (locations, zones, departments) will be applied based on the selected reservation responsible.
There’s no restriction on who can booking on behalf of which other user.
You will also be able to see this reservation in My Reservations > Managed
If required, you can enter a comment in the Remarks field.
If available for you, you can also select Services and/or Equipment as an add-on to your reservation.
For each object, you can add specific notes, like dietary requirements.
For each service, you can add a separate start time, as you might want to receive your lunch only at midday even if the reservation starts in the morning.
Fill in the Cost Center
For best use of Cost Center Search: Enter at least the first 3 characters of the Cost Center Name
(as it searches Names only, and considers “Starts with” (NOT “contains”)
Don’t forget to confirm your reservation.
Upon successful creation of the reservation, you’ll be navigated to “Reservation successful” screen.
Step 4. Reservation successful screen
This screen is displayed when you create a reservation.
All reservation details are displayed as read-only.
Share your reservation with your colleagues. They will see this appear in their Notification center.
Buttons:

Return to Home navigates back to the Home screen.
