No, you cannot. You are only able to book a desk in the Team Area(s) to which your Organizational Unit belongs. An Organizational unit can be assigned to multiple Team Areas, in this case, you will be able to book any Desk belonging to those team Areas.

The shortest timeframe you can book is half a day (AM until 13:00 or PM after 13:00). You can book a morning/ afternoon shift or an entire day (clicking the centre) or an entire week (clicking the left side box).

No. Regular users can only book one Desk at one timeframe and can cancel only his/her own booking. There are users with elevated permissions: e.g. Team Assistant users are able to book multiple desks under the same timeframe (e.g. for a visitor) or Reception users, they are able to book a desk in the entire building, or your colleague authorized to book a desk on your behalf.

You can book a desk for yourself in the Desk List Table or in the Floorplan, which helps orientation. Using the mouse, you can navigate the floor plan like an online map.

On the Floorplan, only the green coloured desks are available for booking.

Favorite desks are marked with a star.

The desks marked with gray are not available for booking for you, because they belong to another Team Area, or they are not part of the Agile Working program (Permanent Desks).

The Desk List does not automatically show each available desks. Instead, you can add any Desk to your list, whether on a permanent or temporary basis. Desks on a permanent basis are only shown in the list when you have added them to your favorites, or which you already have a booking on for the current date and time.

Tip: You should not keep more than 20-30 desks on your favourites list at the time, to keep the user interface at optimum speed.

If you hover the cursor over any desk on the floorplan, the Desk Menu will pop up.

You can add a Desk to your favorites, by clicking on the ‘Favstar’ icon in the Desk Menu. Favorite desks will remain visible on the list, even next time you log into the system. Your favorite Desks will be marked on the floorplan with a favorite star.

You can add any desks to the list temporarily from the floorplan with a single click, without adding them to your favorites. This helps you to find free places, in case none of your favorite desks are available. Next time you log in, or if you just refresh the page, you will only see the favourite workstations again, along with the previously booked desks for the actual time period.

You can search for desks by clicking on Search icon. Just type a desk number, or a part of it!

No, booking can be made for the current and the a couple of following weeks. It depends on your company preferences. On each Monday, another week becomes available for booking.
