The GoBright portal features a clean, user-friendly interface that makes searching for and booking workplaces simple and efficient. Its intuitive design aligns closely with the GoBright Mobile App, providing a consistent and seamless experience across both platforms.

Different colors are displayed on the map to indicate the current status of each desk. Please refer to the legend for more details.

You can book a desk by using the Search function to filter options based on your specific preferences, or by selecting a desk directly from the interactive map. Both methods provide a fast and convenient way to find and reserve the workspace that best suits your needs.

1.1. Search - Use the filters to narrow down your options and find a desk that’s just right for you.

Find my colleague - You can search for a colleague to see where they have meetings scheduled for the day. Click the small icon to locate the room on the map.

Smart Search - All your bookings for the day are displayed on the left-hand side. For example, if you have a desk booked from 11:15–12:15 and again from 13:15–17:15, the ‘+ Add booking’ button will appear in the gap between those times.

This feature makes it easy to find and book a desk during the available time in between. The system automatically suggests desks based on that open time slot, helping you optimize your schedule with minimal effort.

Time preference - Fixed time periods can be set for Desk bookings in both the GoBright portal and mobile app. This allows users to quickly make reservations without manually selecting start and end times.

You can choose from the following predefined booking options:

• Half day - Morning

• Half day - Afternoon

• All day

Check the article Time preferences for booking desks for more information.

Team booking - As a team manager, you have the ability to create team bookings by reserving desks on behalf of your team members. This feature is especially useful when planning in-office days, ensuring that your team is seated together and has the necessary workspace available.

For more information, refer to the article Team management and bookings.

1.2 Mapping - The interactive map allows you to book desks instantly by selecting them directly from the floor plan. Floor plans for all building levels can be uploaded to the GoBright portal, making it easy to navigate to the correct floor or department and choose your preferred desk location.

Simply hover over a desk to view additional details such as availability, amenities, or current status.

Clicking on a green (available) desk opens a pop-up displaying the available time slots. Simply choose your preferred time slot, and the booking window will appear, allowing you to complete your booking quickly and easily.

Advanced booking and Advanced time selection

With Advanced Booking, you can customize the date, time, and set the recurrence of your Desk booking choosing to repeat it daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. This is available only for non-integrated desks. Within the booking window, you can easily adjust the date and time if needed.

Note: Dashboard without Mapping – Mapping is an optional feature. If your license does not include Mapping, the Dashboard will still provide an overview of your bookings and allow you to search and book desks using the Search and Smart Search options.
