Envoy Maps on Screens is available to a limited number of customers in beta. Contact us if you'd like to test this feature as part of a closed beta.

Real-time statuses: See real-time room and resource availability alongside live office occupancy.

You can select a category (People, Rooms, Desks, Food, Transport, Safety, POIs) to search to bring up a list of available people or associated resources.
Viewing an employee
The map display follows the same rules as the live map on the Envoy web dashboard. Employees will show on the workplace map if they have a desk permanently assigned or have a desk reservation for the current day. Taping on the employee will display more details, such as onsite status and neighborhood.
