The Desks Today dashboard gives a high-level view of desk use in real time. It helps office leaders see what happens in their workplace "right now".
To open this dashboard:
- Go to Analytics in the web dashboard.
- Select the Desks Today tab in the left panel.
- Use the drop-down menus at the top to filter the data on this page by campus and building.
Today's Desk summary ring
The building overview shows admins how many desks are booked, available and unavailable for the day. If some desks are broken or offline for other reasons, the donut chart shows them as unavailable.
What Today means
If the building has no work hours set, the page shows data from the time the user loads the page until 7pm. If the user opens the page after work hours, the page shows data from 7 am to 7 pm. The time zone is the building's time zone.
Why it's important
The summary ring helps admins see why employees might have a hard time finding a desk to reserve. It also helps them check quickly if there are enough desks for a visitor to come into the office.
Total desks, available, unavailable and booked
Total desks is the sum of available desks, unavailable desks and booked desks in the building today.
How it's calculated: Total desks = available + unavailable + booked.
- Available is the total number of desks that are free to book in the building today.
- Unavailable desks are the total number of desks that are turned off and not free to book in the building today.
- Booked is the total number of desks that have a reservation.
Each metric shows as an absolute number and as a percentage of the total desks.
Today's booking type pie chart
The pie chart shows these desk booking types:
- Assigned desks belong to someone long-term. Only an admin can assign a desk.
- Hot desks can be reserved for the day. Reservations start at once and expire at midnight, unless someone ends them sooner.
- Hotel desks can be reserved in advance or on the day. A reservation can last multiple days.
Why it's important
The breakdown of desk booking types helps admins measure the success of their seating strategy. Admins see how many employees use their flexible seating.
For example: Does your building have many hotel desks available, but no one books them? Are 100% of your hot desks booked? Do you need more hot desks in your inventory?
Today's desks by floor table
The Desks by floor table shows admins their building floor by floor. Each floor shows the total number of desks, available desks, booked desks and unavailable desks. It also shows the percentage of desks still available on each floor.
Why it's important
Desks by floor show admins how their seating strategy compares from floor to floor. For example: Is the first floor always booked to capacity? Do you need a snack bar on the 5th floor so more employees book desks there?
