Overview

Envoy Map Insights can provide suggestions for space planning using your existing occupancy and reservation data. These insights can guide you when planning out the most effective use of your space. Once enabled, these insights will be available at all locations.

  4. Clicking on an individual employee will give you suggestions based on their attendance habits. In our example below, Maggie Aquino isn't assigned a desk, but Insights tell us that she comes in 4 days a week. Based on this data, it would be a good idea to assign Maggie a desk!
