Find Facilities on the Map

Mapiq and maps go hand-in-hand, perhaps because it's in our name. Admins work hard on making maps for the end-users so it's clear where people book their spot in the office. Next to the booking flow, Mapiq also uses the floorplan to show available workspaces and meeting rooms on a map. With this development, we also allow end-users to enjoy all the maps created to find any resource on the map, no integrations needed!

This feature is available for every customer that have a map setup in their subscription, integration or not needed. Mapiq also offers professional drawing services to optimize your floorplan for orientation and appeal. Good maps are key in finding the correct resources. Reach out to your Customer Success manager if you would be interested in these services.

Navigating the Facilities Tab

Click on the magnifying glass in the Find tab to open the Explore tab. By default the Explore tab will start on the lowest published floor (usually the ground floor). From here you can navigate through the building by filtering, or clicking on the floorplan directly. Find the table below to understand the coloring used per call out.

Color

Meaning

White

This resource is not selected or filtered on.

Blue

The resources matches any of the filters (categories, filter, search entry).

Black

Resource or resource group is selected.

All selected resources areas will always be highlighted blue behind the call out.

Selected facility

A facility that is selected, either through the list view or through the map directly, will open a separate window with more information about the selected resource.

Important to note is that you are unable to book anything through the Explore tab! Navigate back to the other Find tabs to actually book a workspace or meeting room.

Filtering on resources

The key element on the Facility tab, is to find the resources you need. As explained, this can be accomplished by using the search bar, categories or clicking on the respective facility. Regardless of the filter used, after entering a filter criterium, the category view will change to a list view, displaying all the available resources that match your filtering criterium. You can drill down, by stacking filters.

Search bar

Leveraging the search bar enables you to search for anything by typing in the name of the facility. The search bar will not only show facilities but also area's, meeting rooms and people. All facilities that contain these characters are displayed. This means that resources on other floors are also shown in the list view. Note, however, that the map will only show you the resource that is on the selected floor. By either selecting the resources from another floor via the list or adding another floor filter, will the map change to another floor.

Next to filtering on a specific workspace, meeting room or facility name, you can also search on the facility type (workspace, meeting room or facility). For example, entering Workspaces in the search bar will return all the resources that have the type Workspaces and all the resources that contain workspaces in its name.

For facilities this won't directly work, as there are many different facility types already. For this you'll have to enter a facility type, like Toilet or Printer to search the facilities.

Facility types

The grid containing all the categories, has already made a separation between the resource types used by Mapiq. Meeting rooms, Workspaces and Facilities. The Facilities have already been split into the specific facility types (this is inline with searching a resource type with the search bar). Click on any of the categories to get an overview of all the resources of that type. Narrow down your search by adding other filters on top through the Filter button.

The current facility types:

  • Workspaces

  • Meeting rooms

  • Food & Drinks

  • Lounges

  • Restrooms

  • Accessible restrooms

  • Reception

  • Lockers

  • Print area

  • Storage

  • Elevators

  • Stairs

  • Wardrobes

  • Other
