In the list that appears, click on the desk you wish to reserve. The application will display the details of the desk. Click  Change Status on selected days under desk status per date.

Here, in addition to assigning a desk to an employee, you can:

  • Make the desk available for reservation (if previously reserved) by clicking release for everyone to use.
  • Disable the desk so employees cannot reserve it by clicking restrict for office use.

Office overview

From the home screen, go to the Preferences tab in the upper right corner. Continue to the Office overview section. In this section, you can view who has reserved desks on a given day.

You can select the date and zone you want to view from the drop-down lists.

Under Office Overview you can also change the status of desks, but only on a selected day. To do this, click the Change button next to the desk.

If you want to assign a desk to an employee, select the employee from the list. To disable desk reservations, select restrict for office use. If a desk is reserved, you can change its status to free by clicking release for everyone to use. After selecting an action, confirm it with the Confirm button.

Booking priorities for parking spots

We know that some people need to book parking spots ahead of time.  Tidaro’s priority system allows companies to prioritize certain bookings over others.

With this feature, you can indicate the level of priority for specific people. We understand that some internal policies can require priority in bookings ahead. The system will then prioritize those bookings accordingly, ensuring that spots are available for those who need them the most.

How do booking priorities work?

You need to get in touch with Tidaro’s support team to help you out in defining the groups and the number of days allowed for booking ahead. This will impact how many days ahead a particular employee will be allowed to see when booking a parking spot.

Next, from the Preferences tab you will be able to assign employees to a particular group.

For example, you can have a group called “Drivers” for all the employees that are driving the company’s cars. You can allow them to book 10 days in advance.

In the example below, Nancy has been assigned to the Sales Team and Drivers groups. You can always go to Edit and change the group for a specific employee.
