Performance improvements

Info

We implemented a few small improvements and adjustments based on ongoing feedback and maintenance priorities. These changes aim to address reported issues and improve the overall experience incrementally.

Improvement

Impact

Reservation API

Faster results for large tenants when loading e.g. Find a colleague

Crowdedness API

Better handling of large floors for quicker results

Workplace app optimizations

Removing duplicate API calls to improve performance

Device control settings clean up

Legacy options for Workplace app are removed (Crowdedness & least occupied floor)

Improved synchronization delays

Info

We reduced synchronization delays from a couple of hours to 1 hour, to prevent users without the appropriate permission from making reservations on behalf of others. This also improves the speed of profile updates like profile picture changes.

  • As an admin user

  • I want changes to person records to synchronize quicker

  • So that users can’t bypass restrictions and see their updated information asap

image-20250625-095522.png

Benefits

  • Reduced risk of unauthorized actions

  • Faster updates and synchronization across platforms
