Spacewell Workplace (25.1)

Workplace for end users

Make recurring reservations

Info

Recurring reservations is currently only supported from the back-end user interface in Workplace Management. To allow end users to make recurring reservations just as in outlook, from a single front-end user interface, we are bringing recurring reservations to GO+App

  • As an end user

  • I want to be able to make recurring reservations from the Workplace web & app, just as I can from Outlook. And when making a recurring reservation from Outlook, I want to see this being synced in the Workplace software

  • So that I have consistent user experience for making reservations regardless of the user interface I use

image-20250216-160507.png

Benefits

  • Offers a unified recurring reservation experience across web (GO), mobile Workplace app & Outlook.

  • Adds a new input parameter for searching available spaces to book, adding to the convenience of the workplace platform over Outlook

Recurring reservations are synced across systems

Enhanced Automation Scenarios with Space Category

Info

Spacewell Workplace's automation engine (formerly Brain Rules) now supports targeting rules based on IWMS space categories, simplifying configuration and increasing flexibility.

Browan sensors now send a heartbeat every 4h instead of every 1h. No change to Occupancy data

Info

Optimizing motion heartbeat frequency (in future sending a heartbeat every 4 hours) and extending the device status threshold (device will go in To Check status if no messages received for 8 hours) to reduce the number of messages sent by devices.

  • As a Facility Manager

  • I want the motion devices to send heartbeat messages less frequently and change status to "To Check" after 8 hours

  • so that I can reduce unnecessary alerts and manage devices more efficiently

image-20250307-092042.png

Benefits

  • This change will reduce the volume of messages sent, improving system efficiency and reducing notification fatigue.
