Workplace location profiles help manage where users can book workspaces or specify their intended workplace. You can efficiently allocate office resources according to user needs by setting up location profiles. This article will guide you through setting up workplace location profiles in Mapiq.
Setting Up a Location Profile
To determine the location profiles you need, consider these steps:
Identify the varying workspace requirements within your organization, such as geography, job function, or hierarchy.
Create groups with different location profiles to address those needs.
For each group, consider these questions:
Does this group work internationally or nationally?
Does this group work in multiple buildings or have a single home base?
Are there restricted areas or floors where they can or cannot make bookings?
After deciding on your approach, follow these steps to configure your location profiles:
Open the admin portal (https://admin.mapiq.com) and go to the "Access" tab.
Navigate to "Workplace Location profiles," click "Edit" and then "+ Add profile."
Rename the profile for easy recognition. We recommend using a descriptive name related to a department or user group.
Select "Edit locations" to open a new window displaying a tree overview of all building elements (building, floor, area).
You can choose the buildings, floors, and areas to be bookable within the profile.
Three checkbox visualizations indicate the selections made:
Icon | Description |
 | All is selected |
 | A selection of floor(s) or area(s) |
 | Nothing is selected |
If you want a profile that includes all buildings, select All buildings; however, remember that when "All" is selected, additional buildings, floors, and areas are automatically included in the location profile. If only a selection is made, new additions will not automatically be part of the profile and must be added manually.
