💡 The concept of Primary Workplace is especially useful when your organisation spans multiple buildings.

When a user can only book desks or parking in one building, things stay simple — their Primary Workplace is that building. No need to set anything.

But when users can access several buildings, that's where the Primary Workplace steps in. It becomes their default office — a reference point for various features in Waldo.

Why is the Primary Workplace useful?

Waldo uses the Primary Workplace to:

• Answer questions like "Who’s at the office today?"
• Display how many first aiders are on-site
• Provide clearer insights into space usage

How is the Primary Workplace set?

You’ve got two options:

1. Set it manually
   Go to the Waldo Admin Portal, open Users, choose the user, and click Edit.
   Then select Primary Workplace from the dropdown.
2. Let Waldo do the work
   Waldo can automatically assign a Primary Workplace based on the user’s weekly booking habits.

⚠️ Note: If the user only has access to one building, the Primary Workplace won’t appear — it’s already obvious which one it is!
