Applicable plans: ❎ The free plan, ❎ The complete plan

There are two types of areas in Waldo: numbered areas (the default) and unnumbered areas.

When you book a desk in a numbered area, Waldo assigns you a specific desk number. You know exactly where to sit.

When you book a desk in an unnumbered area, Waldo still books a desk for you, but you can sit anywhere within that area. There’s a desk reserved for you — just no fixed spot.

Unnumbered areas work well for fully flexible spaces or when all desks are identical.

💡 Tip: We recommend using unnumbered areas only for small spaces, ideally with 10 desks or fewer. If an unnumbered area is full and someone sits there without a booking, it can be hard for others to know who’s not supposed to be there.

How to configure an unnumbered area

1. Go to the admin portal
2. Click Desks and resources
3. Find the area you want to update
4. Click the pen icon and select Unnumbered
