Booking Types

EMS Flex gives you 2 ways to book a space or room:

  • Keep the old bookings

My Bookings

From the My bookings pane, you can view or delete your bookings. My bookings shows your bookings from today through 10 business days in the future. For example, if today is Monday January 9, you can view bookings through Friday, January 20.

Find People

Use Find people to find coworker bookings. It’s helpful if you want to sit near someone for collaboration on a specific day and time. People show up in Find people if they turned it on in their preferences.

Find people is different than neighborhoods. Neighborhoods shows a group of spaces, but not the people in that group. In Find people, you can find a person’s bookings regardless of whether they’re booked in a neighborhood.

  1. Select Find people.

  2. In Search, type at least 3 letters or more of a name or email.

  3. Select a person’s name.

    Their bookings display in the list.

    The teammate icon appears on the booked space in the floor plan.

    You can then book a nearby space on the same day and time as the person. If you previously booked another space on the same day and time, delete it and create a new booking.
