✅ Recommended Method: Seamless Transition Without Disrupting Week Patterns

1. Create the New Building
   • In the Waldo admin portal, navigate to Desks and parking and create the new building.
2. Move Existing Areas to the New Building
   • If you're using preferred zones or not, move all the areas from the old building to the new one.
     
     - In the Waldo admin portal, navigate to Desks and parking. Then open the Entities.
     - Select the building whose area you want to move and ✏️ edit the name of the area.
     - On the building entry name, press, Then change the target building and Save.
     
     
   • This preserves all existing configurations and avoids user-side disruptions.
     
     
3. Rename the Old Building (Optional but Recommended)
   • Go to the Resources page in the Waldo admin portal.
   • Rename the original building to reflect the change (e.g., "Old building") and save.
4. Re-assign Seats in the New Building Map
   • On the building map page, re-assign all seats to their corresponding new locations and save.

By following this approach:

• Users do not need to manually update their week patterns in the Waldo app.
• All existing and future reservations (even older months) automatically reflect the new building.
• The transition appears seamless from the user’s perspective.

💡 This method has been tested in the Waldo app and shown to correctly carry over all reservation data to the new building.

⚠️ Alternative Method: Start Fresh (Not Recommended for Large Moves)

A second approach is to:

• Create anew building from scratch.
• Manually add new areas and seat maps.
• Assign seats in the new building as needed.

However, this method has a major drawback:

• All users must manually update their week patterns in the Waldo app.
• This can lead to confusion, missed reservations, and a poor user experience.

✅ Is the First Method Safe?

Yes, based on testing and practical usage:

• The preferred method (moving areas and re-assigning seats) is safe and effective.
• It ensures that all booking data remains consistent, and users experience no disruption to their existing patterns or schedules.

Final Tip

Before implementing the move:

• Communicate the change clearly to users.
• Let them know the move will be handled automatically via the Waldo app.
• Provide support contacts in case users experience issues post-move.
