Managing Neighborhoods
Neighborhoods are a group of spaces assigned to employees within an organization. A neighborhood can be located anywhere within the organizational structure.
Space admins and space planners can create a neighborhood and perform the following:
- Assign multiple neighborhoods to employees. An employee can be assigned to a space in a neighborhood or to the neighborhood itself. For more information, see Create a neighborhood for workplace users.
- Assign employees to a neighborhood using user assignment rules that can run on a schedule. For more information, see Execute User Assignment Rules.
- You can also assign a user to a neighborhood from their workplace profile directly. Neighborhood assignments are applicable if Neighborhood is selected as the group by or view by option in a scenario or building overview. Location assignments are applicable for all other options.
- Employees can reserve a space in a neighborhood if they're part of the neighborhood or if the neighborhood isn't restricted.
- Add or remove spaces in a neighborhood.
- Add or remove users from one neighborhood to another.
View and reserve neighborhood spaces using floor maps on the reservation portal.
