You can define standards (area, occupancy size and product types present) for room and save it as a Room Type. The definition of room standards would help in generating report data. There are three different room types available in FacilitiesDesk. In each floor of the building the rooms can be classified under these three room types.
User Rooms
These rooms can be either employee cubicle, kiosk or cell in which the size of the user room might vary based on the need or hierarchical structure of the company. These user rooms will be taken for vacancy calculation based on the occupancy size.
Service Rooms
Service rooms will be taken for general usage by all the employees in the company. Ex: Pantry, Dinning Room, Gym Room, Rest Room and so on.
Conference Rooms
In the Conference rooms you can have formal or casual meetings, a small get-together, party and so on. These rooms will be booked or blocked for a specific time period.
