Employees Booking Via Kiosk

​@Mary Hurrey 

Yes, this can be configured for employee desk, room, or resource booking through a kiosk experience without requiring Visitor Management.

With Appspace, employees can use the Employee View on a touch-screen device (kiosk) to browse availability and make bookings. When a reservation is created, it is made under the account of the employee who is signed in at the time of booking, so the reservation is associated with their name and account.

How it works on the kiosk:

• Employees access the Employee View on the kiosk to browse available desks, rooms, or other resources.
• When they make a booking, the organizer automatically defaults to the user account that is signed in.
• If you're using the Room Booking Card or Desk Booking Card, the kiosk can prompt for a user email address (the booking account email) to retrieve the available resources list.
• This email/sign-in process is how the system identifies which employee account should own the reservation.

The key requirement is that the employee must either sign in or enter their email address on the kiosk before booking so the reservation is properly tied to their account.

I've included several articles below that walk through the configuration and setup process. Your CSM may have already shared some of this information directly, but I wanted to post it here as well in case others are exploring a similar kiosk-based employee booking solution using SSO.
