Limited parking space at corporate offices can be a significant source of frustration for employees. Searching for a suitable spot or being forced to park elsewhere due to insufficient space can lead to a stressful start to the workday.
Mapiq helps address this issue by allowing you to set up your parking lot for a seamless parking experience while providing valuable insights into balancing parking capacity.
Creating Parking Lots
Administrators with the appropriate permissions will see a new Parking tab in the Mapiq Admin Portal. To create a parking lot, follow these steps:
Go to the Parking tab.
Click on
+ Add your first parking lotor+ Add parking lotif you've created one before.In the menu that appears, configure the following settings:
Setting | Description |
Name | The name of the parking lot. |
Total Capacity | The total capacity of the parking lot. |
Add a Zone | Use zones to designate handicapped or electric charging areas. Access to these zones can be managed through Access >> Location profiles >> Parking location profiles.
⚠️ When zones are added, the Total capacity is determined by summing the capacity of individual zones, and setting a different Total capacity will not be possible.
|
Connected Buildings | Link a building to a parking lot to set its time zone and make it available for users in that office. |
Open Days | Define the days the parking lot is available.
⚠️ Open days are independent of building opening days since parking lots can be used for multiple buildings. |
⚠️ After configuring the parking lot settings, you can choose Save or Save & Publish the parking lot. Saving allows you to work on the parking lot at a later date, while Save & Publish makes it live for your users.
Publishing Parking Lots
Once you're done with your parking lot, you have to publish it first before your colleagues will be able to create parking bookings. After the parking is published you can create Parking Quota and Location Profiles to determine which colleagues create parking bookings for specific parking lots.
Behind the scenes
Multiple Office buildings can be connected to the same parking lot.
Parking lots can be published without being linked to a building. However, end-users will only see parking lots connected to a building.
Adjusting or deleting parking zones can cause the deletion of existing parking bookings.
If one or more parking bookings are deleted because of a publish it will be shown in the
Recordstable as a deleted booking.
