What is an Owned Reservable seat and how is it created?

An Owned Reservable Seat can be restricted down to a person(s) or department(s). The permitted reservers are assigned that seat, but have the ability to reserve it so others know when they plan to be in.

When the Assigned seat type is used, the seat is occupied by one individual at all times. Converting an Assigned seat to an Owned Reservable seat allows coworkers to know when the occupant is scheduled to be in the office. Additionally, in the scenario that the pre-screen survey functionality is activated, an owned reservable seat ensures that the occupant only received the pre-screen survey on days when they are reserved to be in the office.

How to create an Owned Reservable seat:

1. Open the desired map in Map Editor.
2. Click on the desired seat (hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple seats) and select "Reservable" for Seat Usage.
3. Navigate to the Restrictions tab.
4. Click on the Permitted Reserver(s) or Permitted Department(s) drop down to select who the seat is for.
   
   
5. Once you have selected the name(s) of who can reserve into the seat, click "Set".
   
6. Save and Close the map.

Open an Owned Reservable Seat

If you want to open up the seat if the "owner" does not reserve in, you can allow others to reserve into the seat outside of the permitted reservers group. To do so, check the box for "Remove Restrictions based on Time" within the Restrictions tab for the seat. The timeframe of the removed restriction can be set within "Days Within Allowed".

How to Convert an Assigned Seat to Owned Reservable

If seats have already been assigned to individuals, they can quickly be converted to Owned Reservable seats.

1. Navigate to Map Editor.
2. Open the map in which you'd like to set up the Owned Reservable seat.
3. Select the seat in which you plan to convert to Owned Reservable.
4. Click into the Restrictions tab. 
5. Click the button "Convert to Owned Reservable".
   1. Note that once this has been selected, the occupant to whom the seat belongs has now been added automatically to the Permitted Reserver(s) just below. If the seat was not yet assigned, you will need to add a Permitted Reserver.
   
   
6. If the seat was not already assigned to someone, click into Permitted Reservers and set who the seat is "owned" by.
