Navigating the Home tab

Updated this week

The Mapiq employee homepage is your starting point for planning a great office day. Instead of switching between views, you can see what matters most at a glance: your hybrid schedule, your bookings, and the spaces and amenities your office offers for ad hoc use.

For employees, the homepage makes it easy to stay on top of the day, book what is needed, and get more value out of workplace services and facilities. For workplace teams, it brings the physical office into the Mapiq experience, helping employees prepare ahead of time and discover the perks available on site.

In this article, we will walk through what you can do from the homepage across all Mapiq subscriptions, including managing bookings, exploring workspaces, supporting hybrid meetings, using occupancy-based suggestions, and handling parking.

Navigation

Visiting app.mapiq.com now brings you right to the new homepage. Other tabs of the abb can be found in the center and help you navigate to specific pages within our app. Clicking on the logo at the top left takes you straight to the homepage.

In the mobile app, things have shuffled a bit. Notifications and Profile are at the top, while the bottom bar shows the four main tabs:

  • Home

  • Plan

  • Find

  • Connect

You can also find the Check in feature is on the homepage in the workday window, letting your colleagues know if you’re physically at the office,

The different elements

Workday

The Workday component displays your workday and other booking elements (workspace, and, if applicable, parking). You can view and edit your workday/workspace right here.

If the your organization has manual-, or automatic check-in configured, you can use this component to check-in/out (making your presence known in the office). If applicable, you will see your workspace booking on the map if applicable. You can also click on the map to enlarge it and see the office layout and where you're located in the office based on your workday/workspace booking.

The basic form of the Workday component is available and visible for everyone. Elements like check-in (manual or automatic) and parking are only visible if your organization has enabled these add-ons.

Upcoming Meeting(s)

The Upcoming Meeting(s) component will display your upcoming meetings and, if applicable, their locations on the map.

Here's how Mapiq decides which meetings to show here:

  • All-day meetings are displayed until 10:00 AM. After this time, they will no longer appear in the upcoming meetings section.

  • Ongoing meetings will disappear after 15 minutes.

  • The next upcoming meeting of the day will always be shown (if available), and if there are two meetings starting at the same time, both will be displayed.

If you haven't linked your calendar yet, you'll get a reminder to do so instead of seeing meetings:

If a meeting doesn't have a room listed and you didn't organize it, you won't see a map. You'll only see the time, title, and workday status. But if you organized it, you can add a room:

Upcoming workdays

The Upcoming workdays component gives a quick summary of the workdays you’re coming to the office during the rest of the week.

Services

The Services displays all the different types of extras that can be configured in Mapiq. For a more detailed guide on Services, visit our dedicated help article here. When you click on a service you'll be redirected to the corresponding and configured service.

The Services component is only visible for customers with the add-on enabled and after they are configured by Mapiq Administrators.

Connections & Groups

The Connections & Groups component displays all your groups and connections that have booked a spot in the office for the current day. Their checked-in status is also shown in case it’s enabled within the environment. Scrolling through the connections section will show their booked workspace location and if a map is available for that area, you can click on the map icon to view the person's position within that workspace. Selecting a group opens a window shows all the group members with a booking for the current day in one overview similar to the connections overview directly visible on Home.

The list of connections and from which office you see your connections (in case multiple offices are configured) depends on a few things:

  • If you booked a workday in a particular office, you will see your connections/groups who also booked in that particular office.

  • If you have not booked a workday, thus working remotely or not working at all, you will see your connections/group that have booked an workday in your default office.

If you do not have any connections yet, Mapiq will remind you to connect with your colleagues:

Find a meeting room

The Find a meeting room component displays suggestions for three available rooms (available for the next 30 minutes) and workspaces based on sensor and/or room booking data.

The Find a meeting room component is part of Mapiq's Occupancy solutions and thus is only available for customers with an active Occupancy Add-on and/or calendar synchronization on the environment. You also need active sensors installed in your office and commissioned within Mapiq.
