Meeting room availability


The Meeting room availability deep dive shows you when rooms are scarce and when they sit empty. It lives in Insights under Deep dives in Mapiq Admin. The deep dive draws on workspace bookings or room sensors to label each bookable hour as high, sufficient, or low. Use it to spot patterns, test the impact of a policy change, and make confident calls about how your meeting space is used.

The deep dive has six views. Each answers a distinct question about your room supply. They let you move from a broad trend down to a specific floor, room size, or room type. You can switch between Bookings data and Occupancy data or only show the data from specific parts of your office by enabling or disabling floor in the All desks filter. The time range, hours, desk scope, and range limits are all set with the filters at the top of the report.

Availability over time

This chart shows the macro trend across your selected period. Each bar shows what share of hours were high, sufficient, or low, grouped by day, week, or month. Use it to see whether shortages are growing, tied to a specific event, or easing after a policy change. A summary panel at the top shows the headline figures. It includes hours per week of high and low supply on average, so you can tell at a glance whether booking a room was easy or hard.

Your performance explained

Below the main chart, three figures give you a quick summary.

  • Meeting rooms included in this report — the total meeting rooms in scope, how many have booking data, and how many match your filters.

  • Low availability (hours per week) — the average hours per week when the booking rate went above your upper limit. Finding a meeting room was hard during these hours.

  • High availability (hours per week) — the average hours per week when the booking rate dropped below your lower limit. It is not difficult to find an empty meeting room at these times.

By weekday

This chart shows which days see the most pressure. It plots the split of high, sufficient, and low across Monday to Sunday for the chosen period. If Tuesday and Wednesday are tight in a hybrid office, that is the evidence you need to restrict large-room bookings on peak days. Only configured office days are included.

By hour

This chart shows the exact hours when rooms are hardest to find. It plots the booking or sensor rate per hour across all days in the period, using only hours within your set office hours. Use it to see whether a lunchtime spike could be solved with a midday release window, or whether demand is more spread out than you assumed.

By floor

This view shows which floors are under pressure and which have rooms to spare. Each floor appears with its room count and a bar showing high, sufficient, and low. Click any floor to open a floor-level view. This helps you point employees to quieter floors or identify where new meeting space would add the most value.

Meeting room bookings: Map report

The Map section gives an overview of the Meeting Room Utilization per meeting room. Select a building and floor to analyze the data. When looking on the map all meeting rooms can be assessed individually. Which specific rooms are booked a lot, which meeting rooms are not utilized to their full potential? Important questions can be answered by checking the data per meeting room.

Individual Meeting rooms

When selecting a meeting room in the maps section, a pop-up will appear with statistics about the specific meeting room with the date range selected in the top of the screen, the default value of this range is the last 30 days. The pop-up with room statistics starts with the name of the meeting room, the capacity, the utility of the meeting room and the amenities that are inside the meeting room.

Further down there is a section with Highlights, which shows how often the room is booked during the week in percentages, the number of invitees, times the room is used ad hoc in case there are sensors and how many times recurring meetings happen in that specific room. This gives the reader a broad understanding of the popularity and how the room has been used in the past.

The last section, Time booked, compares the percentage of time this room was booked with other rooms.

By size

This chart groups rooms into capacity bands, for example meeting rooms for 1 person or even with a capacity between 12 and 15. It shows the supply split for each band. If small rooms are always scarce while large rooms sit empty, that is a direct signal to reconfigure space or adjust booking policies by size.

By type

This chart shows supply split by room type, with a toggle for Activities and Equipment. Room types come from the tags set in your admin portal. If video-conference rooms are harder to book than standard rooms, this view makes that gap visible. You can then adjust the mix, add equipment to idle rooms, or update your booking guidance.

Note: Bookings in advance are more likely to result in no-shows than ad hoc bookings.

Behind the scenes

  • Two data sources, two room sets — The deep dive runs on either workspace bookings or room sensors. These are not the same view of the same data. Switching sources can show a different room count and a different rate, because each method may cover a different set of rooms.

  • Bookable rooms only — In bookings mode, only rooms with a valid Exchange or Microsoft 365 mailbox and isBookable set to true are tracked. A room that is bookable in the space tool but has no linked calendar account will not appear.

  • Targets shape the labels — The high, sufficient, and low split depends on the threshold values set in Metrics settings. Changing those values shifts the visual split without changing any of the raw data.

  • Floor filters change the base — Filtering by floor recalculates rates for that floor's rooms only. Floor-level rates are not the same as the full-office rate.

  • Room types follow your tags — The by type view only shows rooms with activity or equipment tags set in your admin portal. Rooms with no tags will not appear in this view.
