Prerequisites

Before you begin, confirm the following requirements:

• Account access: You need an active Appspace account and access to your organization’s Employee Experience.
• License and permissions: Your organization must assign the license and reservation access required for the Employee Experience.
• Configured resources: An administrator must configure reservable rooms, desks, spaces, or other supported workspace resources.
• Supported deployment: These instructions apply primarily to Appspace Public Cloud and supported Private Cloud deployments. Availability and sign-in behavior may differ for on-premises environments.
• Mobile use: For a native mobile experience, use a supported iOS or Android device. Desktop platforms may use the web experience or another organization-approved client.

Accessing Space Reservation

Step One: Sign In to Appspace

Open your organization’s Appspace sign-in page in a supported web browser, or open the Appspace mobile app on iOS or Android.

1. Select the sign-in option provided by your organization.

2. Enter your work email address or other approved identifier.

3. Complete your organization’s single sign-on or password steps.

4. Open the Employee Experience, then select Places or Reservations.

Finding a Reservable Workspace

Step Two: Search and Filter

Use Places to find a resource that meets your needs. Available filters depend on how your administrators configured locations and resources.

1. Select a building or location.

2. Choose the reservation date, start time, and duration.

3. Open Filters and refine the results.

• Floor or neighborhood/zone: Limit results to a particular area.
• Resource type or subtype: Filter for rooms, desks, spaces, or other configured workspace types.
• Capacity: Find a resource that supports the expected number of attendees.
• Amenities or equipment: Filter for displays, accessibility features, collaboration equipment, or other configured facilities.
• Additional organization-specific filters: Your environment may expose other resource attributes or policies.

Step Three: Use Map View

Open Map View to compare available resources with their physical surroundings. Select a mapped resource to review details and begin a reservation.

Creating a Reservation

Step Four: Enter Reservation Details

1. Select an available resource from the list or map.

2. Click or tap Reserve.

3. Enter a reservation name, then confirm or adjust the date, time, and duration.

4. Add attendees when needed and available.

5. Review any recommendations or restrictions displayed by Appspace.

6. Select Confirm to submit the reservation.

Step Five: Complete Required Checkpoints

If your organization requires a questionnaire, acknowledgment, or another checkpoint, complete the on-screen steps before the reservation is finalized.

Managing Reservations

Step Six: View, Edit, or Cancel

Open Reservations to review upcoming and previous bookings. Select a reservation to view the actions available for that resource and time.

• Edit: Update eligible details, such as time, attendees, or reservation information.
• Cancel: Remove the reservation when you no longer need the workspace.
• Check in: Confirm attendance during the configured check-in window.
• Extend or end: When enabled and availability permits, extend the reservation or end it early.

Step Seven: Check In and Check Out

Use the check-in action in the Employee Experience or an organization-provided email link during the allowed check-in window. At the end of the reservation, select End or Check Out when that option is enabled.
