Tidaro is an intuitive app that lets you book and manage company parking spots.
In the Tidaro app, employees can book a parking spot for the entire day, or for several hours.
Here are the steps to book a parking spot in Tidaro:
4. Next, go to When do you want to park. To book the first available spot on your chosen day, click on Book any and the system will assign it to you.
5. If you want to pick a specific parking spot, you can click on Choose to open the map of the parking lot. On the map, the available spots are represented by green circles. You can use the mouse scroll to zoom on the map. Click on one of the circles, then confirm your choice by using the Book this spot button at the bottom of the screen.
6. You can repeat the process to book a spot for other days in the office. If you want to see where your booked spots are in the parking lot, click on the Locate button next to your confirmed booking.
7. Once you have a booking confirmed, it will show up in the app, within Spots, inside the Home tab. You can see the time details next to the booked spot. If no specific time is showing up, it means that the booking was made for the entire day. In the example below, there is a booked parking spot for Aug 21st between 9 am and 4:50 pm, while on Aug 23rd, the spot was booked for the whole day.
NOTE FOR FREE DEMO ACCOUNT USERS: In the free demo account, the setup was built with an employee that has a permanently assigned parking spot (a grey circle is used to show assigned spots).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT HOURLY BOOKINGS: The feature that allows employees to book a parking spot for several hours is not available for everyone. If you want this feature enabled, contact us at support@tidaro.com and we will add you to the waiting list in order to enable it for you.
1. When you enter Tidaro, from the Spots tab, head over to Book a spot.
2. Choose your desired parking area from the dropdown. If there are no spots available for your desired days, you can join a waiting list, by clicking on the Join the waiting list button. You can join multiple lists for multiple parking areas.
3. It seems that you are the 1st on the waiting list. A confirmation message is now showing up on the screen saying that if a parking spot will become available, the system will automatically book it for you, and you will receive a notification with the details.
4. If you no longer need a parking spot for the day, you can click on Get off and you will no longer be in the list. A message will show up asking you to confirm this action.
5. You can also get off from a waiting list from the Home tab, not only from the Book a spot tab.
6. If you confirm the booking, you will see that a specific spot will be assigned to you, and you can click the Locate button to see it on the map.
IMPORTANT! Customers must contact us to enable this functionality.
This feature allows you to set a number of visible days for booking differently for every employee group. For instance, a group “sales” can book up to 10 days ahead, and a group “marketing” has a possibility to book 5 days ahead.
We created this option to let admins adjust Tidaro app to different styles of organization. If some of your employees plan meetings days, or even weeks ahead, you can now let them also book resources far in advance.
NOTE: Employee groups are created during account configuration and can’t be created manually in the app. If you want to add or configure employee groups, please contact us at support@tidaro.com
During the application configuration, you will create custom parking groups for users. Later on, you can assign those groups to specific parking zones. Employees in those groups will be able to book spots in assigned zones, in addition to booking in areas open for everybody.
Here are some ideas on how to use this feature:
NOTE: Employee groups are created during account configuration and can’t be created manually in the app. If you want to add or configure employee groups, please contact us at support@tidaro.com. The feature does not need to be turned on.
Here’s how you can assign employees to groups:
Now, after you create groups and assign employees to them you use the group filtering option.
Filtering employees by group can happen inside:
Now, let’s filter employees that have no group assigned.
In this example, there are four employees that are not distributed to any group. They might be some newly hired employees that will need to be assigned to a group.
Here you can filter employees by group in attendance reports (desk + spots), as well as employee activity reports (desk + spots).
You can also add employee groups to employee CSV export data report.
NOTE FOR FREE DEMO ACCOUNT USERS: In the free demo account you can only invite new users. You can’t instantly add simulated users.
With this feature you can control how many days in advance employees see in a booking section. If you want your employees to plan their office visits weekly, we recommend setting this number to 5, but you can play around this number and see what fits your company best.
If your employees book resources in Tidaro app and then don’t use them, you can try to solve this problem by setting this value low.
During account configuration, the company decides if employees should provide their plate numbers in the app. If so, employees will need to type up to 3 plate numbers before the first booking. There will be a notification on the home screen.
To add plates numbers, click add on the notification. The app will display a pop up where you can provide up to 3 numbers. Type in at least 1, and confirm your action with save button.
