Identify Hoteling Desks on the Floor Map
Spaces with aqua centers represent hotel desks on the floor map.
Hotel desks can be allocated for a department or workplace group, or they can be unaffiliated and available for anyone to book. A hotel desk with an aqua center and a black outer ring indicate that the desk is free of departmental association; anyone can book these desks, regardless of department membership. For example, anyone can book this desk:
Hotel desks allocated for a department have aqua centers and a colored outer ring corresponding to departmental and team colors. Department and team colors will vary by organization.
