Concepts and useful information.

• An office is usually considered as a building.
  
  

• An office is split into areas. An area is a geographical zone within your office. An area is always associated with an office.
  
  
• Users can see the occupancy of areas to which they've been assigned. Users cannot see the occupancy of an area they have not been assigned to.
  
  
• Areas contain desks.
  
  
• Users are assigned with areas (one or many).
  
  
• When you delete an office, it deletes the areas, desks, parking, parking areas, and parking spots in turn.

Best practices.

• Start by creating offices. You should create as many offices as there are buildings.
  
  
• Next, create areas. Keep in mind that Waldo displays the occupancy of areas and not offices.
  
  
• You should consider areas as preferred zones for users (for which users need to know the occupancy).
  • If your users don't have a preferred zone to work in, you should create only one area.
  • If your users have a preferred zone to work in, you should organize areas by team (e.g. Support team), by department (e.g.  IT department), or localization (e.g.  North-1st-floor).
    
    
• Next, create desks.
  
  
• Finally, assign areas to users.
