Assignment workflow
Randomly assign available employees to named desks or work areas without exceeding each area's capacity. Keep people, desks or work areas, default seats per area, attendance, and desk and area capacities visible while you allocate desks for a hybrid office day, then review the office seating plan.
For this case, set people, desks or work areas, default seats per area, attendance, and desk and area capacities, then choose “Plan office seats.” Check the office seating plan before sharing or putting the result into use.
The Office Seating Plan result still needs organizer review. Assignments are random and do not consider departments or fixed desks. The tool does not connect to access-control or booking systems.
