Amenities Overview

Different employees need different desk amenities to do their best work. Some need a dual monitor, some need a standing desk, and some need a quiet spot by the window. With desk amenities, employees can easily filter, find, and book a desk with the tools and setup they need to be productive, comfortable, and happy in the workplace.

Assign amenities to desks so employees can filter for their perfect desk in just a few taps on the Envoy app or on the web!

Creating Desk Amenities:

  1. Navigate to Resources > All resource types > Desks settings

  2. Select Add amenity.

  3. Give a name for your amenity and Create. You should see your new amenity added.

Applying Amenities to Desks via Map

  1. Navigate to Maps > Live Map then click Edit Map.

  2. Select a desk by clicking on it.

  3. Select an amenity from the dropdown list. You can apply multiple amenities to the same desk, if desired.

  4. Click Save to apply all changes made.

Using a .CSV file for Desk Amenities

You can also edit or create a new desk amenity using a CSV. This option will also allow you to make changes in bulk rather than individually assigning desk amenities through the Maps > Live Map > Edit Map.

  1. Navigate to Resources > Desks

  2. Click Export CSV.

  3. A .csv file should be downloaded

    Note: If the file downloads without a .csv extension you can add .csv to the file and it will open in any spreadsheet tool

  4. Within the exported file, there will be a column for Amenities. You can edit this field or create a new amenity.

    1. Amenities must be comma-separated, for example: standing desk, dual monitor, laptop stand

Once you've made the necessary edits to the .csv file, save your changes.

  1. Navigate back to Resources > Desks

  2. Click Re-import CSV.

  3. Drag and drop or select the file you want to upload

  4. Click Import X (At this step, you will also see a preview that will show amenities and you can confirm if you have entered any information correctly before importing)
