Navigating your workspace can often be challenging, especially when searching for specific resources. Mapiq's Here & Now page is designed to simplify this process, allowing you to understand and utilize your office resources more effectively by leveraging an interactive map. Compatible with both web and mobile platforms, Mapiq tailors its interface to your screen size to provide a comfortable and user-friendly experience.

Since Here & Now is currently only relevant in combination with other functionalities, we have tied the visibility of the Here & Now tab to whether other functionalities are enabled.

The visibility of the Here & Now tab will not change once we add the map. This means the new Here & Now with the map will be available for all organizations that either have:

Whether you use a desktop or mobile device, Mapiq's functionality remains consistent, with slight variations to suit different screen sizes.

On a desktop (https://app.mapiq.com), you can take advantage of the larger screen size to see all the information at a glance. You'll see the list of available rooms alongside the map. You'll see more room details if you click a room's name in the list or on the map. If you hover over a room name in the list corresponding to a room visible on the current map, you'll see a hover effect slightly enlarging the map indicator.

On a mobile device, the Here & Now feature gives you two viewing options: a list view and a map view. You can switch between the two using the icon in the top right of the screen.

The map view shows you the full map and one selected room at a time. Swipe through the options or tap on the map indicator to see different rooms. The room at the bottom of your screen is marked with a black icon on the map. Tap that room to see more details.

For both the desktop and mobile experience, once a room is selected, a screen opens with the selected room's information (e.g., availability, room information, and a quick summary of booking details). The map is dynamic and visualizes available rooms based on the active filters. The map is reactive on the zoom levels, splitting (zoom-in) and grouping (zoom-out) the map indicators. The map indicators have a specific color coding (Map Indicators) to show selected and available rooms.

The available filters, accessible through the map section, are:

By using the filters, specific rooms will be displayed or removed from the list of available rooms.

On the map itself, map indicators are used. The indicators correspond with the occupancy status of the different rooms. In the image below, an overview of the different options is visualized.

The Here & Now page uses real-time data from room booking and sensor information. Indicators help visualize availability and the source used to determine room occupancy. This is visualized in the room list section.

A building usually spans multiple floors, each with its own map. Initially, the user sees the floor map of the top result when opening the page. However, the map updates automatically to the correct floor, if a user selects a room not currently displayed or if a floor filter is applied.

In cases where no rooms are available or no map is provided, users receive an explanation for the lack of display on the Here & Now page. On mobile, if no maps are available for a building, the 'map' toggle at the top right is hidden.
