In this section, we'll explain how to configure and manage parking spaces in GoBright.
Cteare and manage desks
Log in to the GoBright portal with your manager account and navigate to Settings > Park.
From the left-hand submenu, select Parking Spaces.
The list of existing parking spaces will be displayed on the right-hand side.
Configure a parking space
To add a new parking space, click the blue Add button. You can also select an existing parking space to edit its settings.
Once you have configured the parking space, click Save to save your changes.
If you need to create multiple parking spaces with the same or similar settings, you can use Save and clone. This saves the current parking space and creates a copy that you can adjust before saving the next one. This makes it easier and faster to create multiple parking spaces with similar configurations.
General
The General section contains the basic settings for a parking space.
Name: It is recommended to give each parking space a name of at least three characters, for example, Park 001.
Profile allows you to select a profile that defines how the parking space behaves in the system. The profile determines settings such as whether the space is bookable and whether no-show detection is enabled.
You can also add Booking instructions, which are displayed when a booking is created and can provide users with additional information or instructions for using the parking space.
The location can be chosen from the list of added locations. This will also set the time zone based on the defined location. If no location is chosen the time zone will need to be configured manually for the parking space.
Spaces can be closed (temporarily) so that no one will be allowed to use them.
Amenities
The Amenities section allows you to specify which amenities are available at the parking space.
For example, you can indicate that a parking space has an electric vehicle charging point.
Zone booking
With Zone Booking, you can group parking spaces into designated zones. Instead of reserving a specific parking space, users can make a booking within a zone, giving them greater flexibility when choosing where to park.
When a user books a zone, they secure the right to park in that area without needing to select an individual parking space in advance. Upon arrival, they can choose any available parking space within the booked zone.
This feature is ideal for organizations that want to simplify the parking booking process and give employees more flexibility.
For more information on how to configure and use this feature, see the article Zone booking of parking spaces.
BULK UPDATING OF EXISTING PARKING SPACES
Existing parking spaces can be selected as a multiple selection and new settings applied in bulk.
1. Log in to the GoBright portal with your manager account and choose Settings > Park.
2. Parking spaces requiring an update can be selected by ticking the boxes.
3. Then select the Bulk update option.
4. Select the required field to update.
5. Select the new setting for the parking spaces.
6. Confirm the Bulk update by selecting the blue Bulk update button.
Use the Bulk Update option to migrate your parking spaces into a parking zone. Please note that this action is irreversible—once parking spaces are migrated into a zone, they cannot be reverted back to individual parking spaces.
Integrate Parking Spaces with M365/EntraID
You can also integrate Parking Spaces to be bookable spaces from Microsoft Teams or Outlook, they can now act as a space with an email address.
To read more and check how to setup the Integration please check the following article Desk & Parking spaces Integrated with M365/EntraID/AzureAD – GoBright Help Center.
When the steps for Integration are completed, you can continue with adding them to GoBright which is similar to adding a normal parking Space, the only addition is the Integration part and the ability to synchronize them with a separate button.
After the Integration is completed following the steps, you can either add the integration to already created parking spaces in GoBright or create new ones.
- To add it to already created Parking spaces, you will need to login to the GoBright portal > Settings > Park. Open the Parking space you need to modify, go to the part with Integration, select the M365 Integration and write the email of the Parking space you created in the Integration steps.
- To add new Parking spaces, it is suggested to use the 'Synchronize Parking spaces' button that will pull all the created objects with the script to GoBright.
- Or you can press the 'Add' button which means that you need to create each Parking space one by one.
The 'Synchronize Parking spaces button' can be found when you go to Settings > Park.
When the button is pressed, a Fetch action is triggered from GoBright to the tenant, and it searches for all the created Parking spaces and will show them on the list.
You will need to select the profile of the Parking spaces, the location where you want to create them and the time zone if needed to be different.
Select the Parking spaces you want to add, press 'Apply', and they will be created/added to the GoBright portal.
