If you'd like local check-ins to be mandatory for employees, enable the Local Check-Ins Only setting and set up on-site check in methods. The Local Check-Ins-Only setting disables all other desk check-in methods and requires employees to be at the office in order to confirm their seats. If you enable this setting, you need to set up at least one of the local on-site check-in methods:
- Automated check-ins with WIFI connection
- Badge swipe check-ins with an access control integration
- Scan QR codes/NFC tags on desks
How to enable the Local Check-Ins Only setting
This setting can be enabled for an entire office building(s) or for specific desk groups.
Enable on the office building level:
1. Navigate to Manage > Offices > Select a building.
2. Under the Administration tab > select Desks from the resource policies menu at the top.
3. Toggle ON the Local Check-Ins Only setting.
Enable for a desk group:
1. From the Office search page > select Edit floor on the map > Layout.
2. Select a group of desks > In the right menu panel, click the Policies tab.
3. Toggle ON Local Check-In Only policy.
Desk check-in reminders
When “Local-Check In only” is turned on, users will receive a check-in reminder 30 minutes after their reservation starts. In other cases when this setting is not turned on, users will receive a reminder at the start of the Remote Check-In window.
Warning
If you enable the Local Check-In Only policy and there are pre-existing desk reservations, the policy will not be retroactively applied. It will only affect reservations made after the policy is enabled.
