The Buildings tab is your starting point for managing the digital twins of your offices. Every physical office you operate in Mapiq is represented as a building. It is the core element that ties everything together. From booking data and sensor readings to room calendar integrations and capacity planning, a building is where all that information converges. It also feeds directly into your Insights reports, making it the foundation of any meaningful data you get out of Mapiq.
Your Buildings overview
When you open the Buildings tab, you see a list of all buildings configured in your Mapiq environment. Each entry gives you a clear snapshot of that building's state at a glance.
Published status and pending changes
Every building displays its current published status. A building needs to be published before employees can see it in their app. If changes have been made but not yet published, the building will show a pending changes indicator. A useful signal that updates are waiting to go live.
Active integrations
Each building entry shows how many active integrations are connected to it. Integrations link your building to external systems such as room calendar providers, sensor networks, or access control systems. The count gives you a quick read on how deeply a building is connected within the platform.
Capacity
The building overview also displays its configured capacity, the total number of people the office can accommodate. It is calculated based on the number of available workspaces configured. This figure flows into booking rules and Insights reporting, so keeping it accurate is important for meaningful utilization data.
Adding buildings to your environment
You can add new buildings through two distinct flows, depending on your situation.
Manual creation
The manual creation flow lets you build up a new building from scratch. You configure the building's details step by step, name, location, capacity, and other settings, before publishing it to your environment.
Import a building
The import flow is designed for speed. It lets you bring a fully configured Mapiq building directly into your environment in one go. This is especially useful when a new office has been prepared in advance, as it bypasses the need to configure everything manually.
Behind the scenes
Only admins with the appropriate permissions (Subscription Owner, Subscription Admin or Building Admin) can create, edit, or publish buildings.
A building must be published before it appears in the employee app.
Integrations are configured at the building level, each building can have its own set of connected systems.
Capacity and integration data set at the building level feed into Insights reports and affect how utilization metrics are calculated.
Unpublished changes to a building do not affect the employee experience until explicitly published.
If desired, access to published buildings in the employee experience can be limited through location profiles. Allowing it to be only visible for those who need to see it.
