Desk Booking

Book your Favorite Desk

Buuky supports workspace bookings from two different views:

  • Date View
  • Offices View

Date View

The date view is intended for booking seats on a specific date. Via the calendar and the location selection, you can choose a floor at a location, as well as a day. You will get an overview of all rooms for the selected date and location and can book a free space. Seats can be selected directly on the map or in the overview below.
If a space has been booked for the selected day, this booking is displayed next to the location selection. If there are several bookings for the selected day, the current or upcoming booking is displayed. In addition, by clicking on the "Your Booking" box, your booked seat will be displayed directly on the map.

Date view

Offices View

Offices  overview

The office view allows you to book a desk over several days without the need for selecting it again and again. First, the desired location is selected via the dropdown. Next, the appropriate office is selected in the office overview. Finally, a calendar view opens and allows you to book the desired space for several days right away.

Booking Dialog

The booking dialog corresponds to the dialog shown on the right side. At the top of the dialog, you can see which office, seat, and date has been selected. Below this are three areas where the booking can be further configured. All three areas are explained in more detail below.

Booking dialog

All day
The area expanded by clicking "All day" allows the user can book a specific time period. The booking is otherwise made for the whole day by default. To select a time period, the user can simply move the two dots on the timeline to the desired location. Alternatively, the user can click the "Morning" or "Afternoon" button to select a predefined period and adjust it via the timeline if necessary. In the Buuky administration, under Bookings → Settings, it is possible to configure which times are preselected when clicking on "Morning" or "Afternoon". It can also be configured at which time the timeline starts on the left and ends on the right.

Booking dialog all day

One time
The area expanded by clicking "One time" allows the user to make a serial booking. The user can select the days of the week on which the bookings are made (e.g. on the days Mon-Fri), as well as an end date up to which the bookings will be made.

Booking dialog one time

For myself
The area expanded by clicking "For myself" allows the user to make a booking for someone else or for an event. For example, the name of a guest who does not have a Buuky account himself can be entered in the note field. Normally, a user can book a maximum of one seat at a time only. This rule does not apply to seats where the note field has been filled in, as these seats are typically booked for someone else. In consequence, a user can make as many bookings with the note field filled in as wanted.
