πŸ§‘β€πŸ€β€πŸ§‘ Recurring Team Bookings for Officely in Teams

How to set up automatic team scheduling on MS Teams in Officely.

Written by Kristina Semcenko

Recurring Team Bookings allow you to automatically book a team into the office on a regular schedule.
​
This is useful if your teams have regular office days, for example every Tuesday, every other Wednesday, or a set pattern across the month.
​


Creating a team

Step 1: Step 1: Go to Teams settings

Head to Officely > Settings > Teams


Step 2: Create a new team

Click on 'create a new team'


Step 3: Add team details

Add the team details:
​
- Team name
- Office
- Team members
- Team managers
​
Team managers can manage the team and receive recurring booking alerts.


Selecting a preferred neighbourhood


If the selected office has neighbourhoods, you can choose up to 3 preferred neighbourhoods for the team.
​
When Officely creates recurring bookings, it will use these neighbourhoods where available.
​
If the office only has one neighbourhood, or no neighbourhoods, this field may not appear.

Scroll down and click on enable recurring bookings


Enabling recurring bookings


To create automatic office bookings for the team, turn on Enable recurring bookings.
​
Then choose:
​
- Frequency
- Every week
- Every 2 weeks
- Every 3 weeks
- Every 4 weeks
​
- Booking days
- Choose the days of the week Officely should book for the team.

You’ll see a preview of the next booking window before saving.


Saving the team
​
Click Create or Save.
​
Once recurring bookings are enabled, Officely will automatically start generating bookings for the team based on the schedule you selected.
​
Bookings are created for the upcoming booking window, so you don’t need to wait for the next cycle before the schedule starts.
​


Editing a team
​
To edit an existing team:
​
1. Go to Officely β†’ Settings β†’ Teams
2. Find the team you want to update
3. Click Manage
4. Update the team members, managers, office, neighbourhoods, or recurring booking schedule
5. Click Save


Deleting a team
​
To delete a team:
​
1. Go to Officely β†’ Settings β†’ Teams
2. Find the team you want to remove
3. Click Manage
4. Scroll to Danger Zone
5. Click Delete Team
​
Deleting a team stops new recurring bookings from being generated for that team.
​
Bookings that have already been created will remain in Officely.


Team Manager will get Access to their Team Insights
​
Team managers can access Officely Insights to view attendance data for their own team members. This means managers don't need to be office admins to stay on top of their team's office attendance.
​
​What team managers can see:
β€’ Attendance data scoped to members of their team(s) only
β€’ Filtered user lists showing only their team members
β€’ CSV exports (Recent Activity and Bookings) scoped to their team
