Every desk that has been used will eventually need cleaning. In most cases, it is preferable to clean a desk after each individual use, which is exactly what Hygienic Desk Mode is designed for.
Whenever a desk is marked for cleaning, the connected GoBright Connect or Interact displays a purple glow. The cleaning status is also visible in the Glow and Mapviewer.
Specific permissions can be configured through user roles. This ensures that only users responsible for cleaning the desks can mark a desk as clean and make it available for use again.
Prerequisite(s)
If you are using GoBright Connects as desk hardware, make sure the Gateway is running at least version 5.1 for Hygienic Desk Mode to function correctly.
To update the Gateway(s), follow the steps below:
Go to Settings > Devices
Click on Gateways
Select a Gateway to open the details
Press the Update button
Select 'As soon as possible' and select version 5.1 or higher
Press the Save button
Enable the mode
Hygienic Desk Mode can be enabled for desks through their assigned Desk Profile.
To enable it:
Log in to the GoBright portal with your manager account and navigate to Settings > Work > Profiles.
Select the Desk Profile you want to edit.
In the General section, enable Hygienic Mode.
Save the profile.
Once enabled, Hygienic Desk Mode will apply to all desks assigned to that profile.
By default, this setting is disabled. When enabled, additional settings become available that allow a desk sensor to activate Hygienic Mode automatically after a specified period of time.
This allows the system to automatically mark a desk for cleaning after it has been used, based on the configured sensor settings.
Alternatively, you can configure a specific time at which Hygienic Mode should be activated automatically.
Hygienic desk permissions
Because only designated users should be able to mark a desk as clean, specific permissions are available in the User Roles section.
To configure these permissions:
Log in to the GoBright portal with your manager account and navigate to Settings > Users > Roles.
Click Add to create a new role, or select an existing role to edit it.
Under Other booking-related permissions, locate Hygienic desk mark clean and select the appropriate permission from the dropdown menu.
Click Save to apply the changes to the role.
A desk can be marked as clean by a user with the appropriate cleaning permissions in several ways.
If a GoBright Connect, Interact, or NFC sticker is installed on the desk, the user can mark the desk as clean using their personal NFC card or their mobile phone with the GoBright app.
Alternatively, a user with the required cleaning permissions can mark the desk as clean directly in the GoBright portal. Go to Settings > Work > Desks and open the specific desk. From there, the desk can be marked as clean.
