Available with the ArcGIS Indoors Spaces extension.
Common terms that are used in Indoor Space Planner are described below.
Hot desk
Hot desks are general spaces in a workspace area that support occupants in their work without assignments to a specific office or desk. Occupants are not assigned to a specific hot desk, but they can use whatever space is available in the area that meets their needs.
Info card
The info card in Space Planner displays information about occupants, units, and assignments based on a selection. The data included in the info card can be customized through the web map pop-up configuration.
Meeting room
Reservation-based work environments use meeting rooms as conference and collaboration spaces that can be booked for use by occupants. Meeting rooms can be booked using Indoor Viewer and the Indoors mobile apps.
Occupant
An occupant is a person who uses indoor spaces. Occupants are commonly employees, tenants, or visitors.
Office hotel
Reservation-based work environments use office hotels as office spaces that can be booked for use by occupants that don't have an assigned space using Indoor Viewer and the Indoors mobile apps.
Organization area
Organization areas help with space allocation across an organization. Spaces can be allocated to different organization areas or reallocated to other organization areas based on growing or shrinking business needs, or when undergoing restructuring. Allocating spaces to an organization area also facilitates workspace area planning by giving space planners insight into which units are available for assignment.
Organizational hierarchy
The Occupants feature class in the Indoors model has two fields for supporting organizational hierarchy: ORG_LEVEL_1 and ORG_LEVEL_2. The alias for these fields can be changed to suit the needs of your organization.
Plan
A plan is a specific scenario for matching occupants to spaces. You can create multiple plans in Space Planner to help you make the best decision about how to design a space.
Reservation manager
A reservation manager can book office hotels or meeting rooms for other people in Indoor Viewer and Indoors mobile.
Scheduling limit
Scheduling limits can be configured for office hotels or meeting rooms to provide control over how the spaces can be booked by occupants.
Space
Space is a generic term referring to areas and volumes in a building. In Space Planner, the space with the smallest area is a unit, and the space with the largest area is a site.
Unit
A unit refers to the space with the smallest area in a building. Common unit types are offices, kitchens, printer areas, and so on.
Workspace area
A workspace area is an area that is used to organize office hotels, meeting rooms, and hot desks. Occupants can be assigned to a workspace area and can book units that are assigned as office hotels or meeting rooms in the workspace area to use for a period of hours, days, or weeks from Indoor Viewer and the Indoors mobile apps.
