YAROOMS supports capacity limits for areas, floors, and locations. These optional restrictions control how many desks can be booked at the same time, even when more desks are available.
Warning: Capacity is a booking restriction, not a count of your spaces. If a floor has 50 desks and you set its capacity to 25, the remaining desks become unavailable during intervals when 25 desks are already booked. It is not a limit of 25 bookings across the entire day.
1. Defining the maximum capacity of areas
An area is a zone on the floor map, such as a shared desk area or a department’s corner. Different areas on the same floor can have different limits.
- Open Workplace → Map and select the location and floor.
- Click Edit mode, then select Areas.
- Click the number on an existing area to open Edit capacity.
- Enter its Capacity and click Save. Set it to 0 for no area capacity limit.
- Finish editing when you are done.
2. Defining the maximum capacity of floors
Go to Settings → Workplace, select the location and floor, then click Edit floor. In General, enter the Capacity and click Save changes.
This restricts simultaneous desk bookings across the floor, regardless of how many desks have been added to it. Only set a limit when you want to restrict availability.
3. Defining the maximum capacity of locations (buildings)
Go to Settings → Workplace, select the location, and click Edit location. In General, enter the Capacity limit and click Save changes.
The location limit applies across its floors. For example, if two floors each allow 10 simultaneous desk bookings but the location limit is 16, booking 8 desks on each floor reaches the location limit. Further desk bookings for the same interval are blocked even though each floor still has room within its own limit.
Note: These limits are separate from a meeting room's attendee capacity. To restrict the number of attendees in a room, see How to enforce meeting room capacity.
