How to set up Social Distancing for Desks

Social distancing options are intended to help employees maintain a distance from each other within the workplace and to reduce cross-contamination of spaces.

The following are the social distancing features available for desks:

Future booking window - This allows you to set a limit on how far in the future bookings may be made. This can help with controlling the number of people in a building.

Whole-day booking - Often desk bookings can be for set times and this would allow multiple people to book the same desk within a single day. Due to possible cross-contamination of workspaces, organisations can now restrict all bookings to whole days. This prevents multiple users in one day and allows full cleaning overnight between each booking. When this is enabled, the mobile app and desk booking sites change so users only enter dates and not times.

One Desk Only - Whether a user can book multiple desks for the same time period. If enabled, then users may not have overlapping bookings. They could still have multiple bookings in one day, just not overlapping.
