In Robin, a Space is usually a room in your office, such as a conference room. You can also use spaces to mark common areas, such as the cafeteria.
You can create spaces on an interactive map. A space can have a calendar, devices (such as Room Displays) and other information connected to it.
Connect a calendar system
When you connect a calendar system, such as Google or Office 365, employees can see room availability, book rooms for meetings and manage their reservations in Robin. See these checklists:
- Connect an Office 365 calendar system for space scheduling
- Connect a Google Calendar system for space scheduling
- Connect an Exchange account for space scheduling
Where spaces fit in your organization
Robin arranges your locations in this order: Acme Inc (Organization) > San Francisco (Campus) > 25 Broadway (Building) > Floor 3 (Level) > Conference Room (Space).
Spaces belong to a Building and a Level/floor. You need levels (floors) to set up the office map.
Spaces and calendars are separate
Most spaces in your organization have a calendar, but treat spaces and calendars as 2 separate things when you set up Robin. A space without a paired calendar shows as "On-Demand", and nobody can book it in advance. People can still claim it from the room display apps on a "Check-in/out" basis.
