Setting up desks is quicker and easier than ever with our new desk layout tools.
Review your office layout
Before diving into Robin, review your office floor plan and get the lay of the land. Questions you should answer:
- Assess your current floor plan
- Do you divide the office into "neighborhoods", or work areas?
- Do you know how to locate all of the desks in your office? (e.g. do desks have names like "Pod A" or "Bravo 5"?)
- Will every desk on the map be reservable or will some be off-limits to book for safety reasons?
- Assess current desk reservation types & desk reservation policies
- Which desks will be assigned?
- Which desks will be flexible? (i.e. hot or hotel reservation)
- Will all of your people be able to book desks anywhere, or will some groups have special booking permissions for desks they are allowed to book?
- Will there be a maximum amount of time that desks can be reserved for?
- Will there be a maximum advanced booking date to restrict bookings to the near future?
- Will you allow users to share their assigned desk for someone else to book when they are out of the office?
- Assess your current desk amenities
- Do some desk groups have common amenities? (e.g. keyboards, additional monitor)
- Do some desks have special amenities? (e.g. standing desk, sound proofing, yoga ball instead of a chair)
