I've been looking at the Workspace Reservations functionality recently, configuring our office building so that hybrid workers can book Office Hotels when they're coming in to the office.
By adding the Reservations layer to the web map used by the Indoor Viewer app it nicely displays which other hybrid workers are in the office on any given day when searching for available office hotels on specific days (pink desks in the image below are those that have been reserved already; blue desks are available). Using a bit of custom ARCADE on the labels shows the hours that each person has booked:
This works great as users are able to see who else is planning to be in the office on a future date, where they'll be sitting and what time they expect to be there. But this information is only visible when you go through the process of making a new booking at the point you press the Find Hotels button.
It would be really handy if it was possible to browse some sort of calendar to see which Office Hotels are booked on future days without having to go through the booking process as it's time consuming to check multiple days.
Does anyone know if there is any way of achieving this without significant customisation? Or if anyone from ESRI is on here, do you know if there are any plans to add this functionality in the future as I feel it would be very useful?
Solved! Go to Solution.
hey! I am trying to figure out the same thing, but doesn't look like it's avaliable yet. I would love to connect on how you were able to change the hotels to pink and display the future reservation! That would be a decent workaround for my issue right now.
Hey @asanz_, this is a blast from the past! I don't fully recall how I did this (I haven't used Indoors much since) but it wasn't hard. The pink desk are in the Reservations layer, and I just added this layer to the Web Map that is used in the Indoor Viewer application. Then I think the Indoor Viewer automatically filters the Reservations layer when you go to make a new booking via the 'Find Hotels' button.
Hope this helps.
