Workspaces are organized in a hierarchy as a of:

  • Facilities: may be office buildings, cities or any other top level locations
  • Floors: are substructures within a building such as a ground floor, a lab or similar
  • Offices: are single rooms on a floor
  • Seats: are the individual workspaces available for bookings

To configure these items, choose "+ New" for creating a new one or the pencil icon to open the edit dialog for an existing item.

To see items on a lower level, you need to choose one on the parent level. For example, to see the floors in Münster, you first need to click on the facility Münster.
