New Dashboard – Online Portal
A user-friendly look & feel, with a logical and intuitive way of searching and booking workplaces.
Now it is more similar in appearance and use to the GoBright Mobile App.
- Search
There are multiple ways to search for a room. We will define them in the next image - Today's bookings
Change the date and you will see all the bookings you have made on that date. - Mapping
This is an important part of the dashboard. Make an instant booking via Mapping. The floor plans of all floors in the building can be added to the portal. Simply select the map of the right department or floor.
Mapping is a live view. So if a colleague books a room via the Portal, Mobile App, or ad hoc at the workplace itself, the adjustments are immediately visible on this interactive Map. Today, tomorrow and in the future.
Note: Mapping is an additional license. The new dashboard is also available without Mapping. Later in this article you can see the lay out of the dashboard without Mapping. But, please note that the Mapping license has a lot of user advantages. So, if you have any questions about Mapping, please contact your Reseller.
Book a Room
Select a Room in the Search menu > Choose Date, Time and Duration to be shown the availability > Book your Room from the list or from the Map
Standard Search
The standard search function can be found at the top left. Just select what you are searching for: a desk, room or colleague. The follow-up steps of your search are explained in the next image.
Smart Search
This is a new addition. Suppose you have a room booking from 12.30 – 14.30 and from 16.00 – 16.45. Then there is a button between these two bookings: + room. This means that you can easily search and book a room between these two bookings. The system therefore makes suggestions based on the availability within this time frame
Book directly on the Map
Book your room directly from the interactive Map. When you click on a green room, a pop-up that shows the available time slots will appear.
When using the standard search or smart search functions, you will be offered suggestions based on current availability. When you select a room, you immediately see the location on the Map.
You can also book a locker directly from Mapping. Click on the locker bank to see the availability of the lockers.
Find my colleague
This option was already incorporated in the portal, but we have improved it. From now on it is possible to search for a colleague 'in the future'. Perfect for collaboration with a colleague ‘tomorrow’ or ‘in three days’.
Dashboard without Mapping
Not every GoBright user currently uses the Mapping feature because it is an optional license. The new Dashboard can also be used without Mapping.
You then have an overview of your bookings plus the option to search and book via the Search option and the Smart Search option.
Advantages of Mapping:
- With the Mapping license, interactive Mapping can be used on both the online portal and the mobile app. But it can also be used on a touch screen, that is placed at the office floors. So that people can make ad hoc bookings while being at the office.
- Mapping provides a visual display of the entire office. So you immediately see where the desks and rooms are located. Points of interest, such as amenities, elevators, emergency exits etc can be added as well.
- Live overview of the occupancy status of each desk or room.
- Find your colleague on the map and book a desk nearby.
- Book your locker via Mapping
- Create the best smart office solution.
