When adding seats to your map, understanding different seat usage types is essential. This guide provides an overview of various seat usage types - Assignable, Reservable, Flex, Closed, and Open - each tailored to meet specific needs within your organization. Whether assigning seats to individual employees, creating flexible workspaces, or ensuring certain areas remain accessible to everyone, these seat usage types will help you manage your office layout effectively. 

Different Seat Usage Types

• Assignable - The seat is assigned to one employee only, and only this employee can use the seat.
• Reservable - The seat must be reserved before an employee can occupy it. Reservable seats can also be restricted by department so that only employees who are members of this department can reserve the seat. You can also restrict seats by specific employee/s by entering their names.
• Flex - Multiple employees share the same seat on a set schedule. For example, Employee A occupies the seat every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Employee B occupies the seat every Tuesday and Thursday. 
• Closed - The seat is closed and cannot be reserved or assigned. 
• Open - The seat is open to anyone and does not require a reservation.
  • Please note: Open seats allow for employees to "check-in", but there is not much reporting around open seats. Employees will not be able to see if anyone is utilizing the seat unless they are physically in the office to see it - similar to coffee shop seating.
