The Neighborhood and Desk feature is designed to help you and your team choose where you want to sit and to have easy visibility over who sits where.

Head to Officely App Home

Click on Go to... > Neighborhoods & desks

Scroll down and click on 'Create'

Create a name for your neighborhood and insert the number of desks it has available

Then select if you'd like this neighborhood to be available for anyone or only for a specific group of people.

If you set it for anyone then all employees will be able to see this neighborhood when booking into the office.

If you choose to make the neighborhood available for a particular person or specific group of people then tick the 'Only specific people' box.

Once you've ticked the box a dropdown will appear where you can add the names of the employees who you'd like to be able to book into this neighborhood.

Once you've added the names click on create neighborhood. You will then see (private) next to the neighborhood. This means that it will only be visible to this specific group of people.

Once an employee books into the private neighborhood this is how it will appear on the app home.

Neighborhoods represent the banks of desks in your office.

First step is to give the Neighborhood a name.

This will ensure the employees know what area of the office they are booking into. For example you could call a Neighborhood as Sales, Product, Operations Neighborhood etc.

Second of all it's important to add the desk count of each Neighborhood/bank of desks.

Once you know the desk count of each Neighborhood you can proceed by adding it to the Neighborhood that represents the specific area of your office. Leaving the desk count as blank will automatically assign an infinite amount of desks available.

This will allow you to manage the office capacity efficiently.
​

💡 How to adjust your desk count

If your desk count has grown or if you'd like to decrease the number of desks available you can do this by heading to:
​
​Officely Home > Go to > Neighborhoods and desks > Click on the three dots next to the given Neighborhood.

Third step is optional but useful if you want to group Neighborhoods together. For example you could add a category of Ground Floor, 1st Floor, etc.

Anyone - all employees will be able to see this neighborhood and book into it.

Only specific people - here you can add either a person or a particular group of people to be able to use this neighborhood in particular.
