You can use YAROOMS to find people only if your organization's visibility settings allow.

1. Find a colleague using the map view

People search using the map view (Workplace → Map) is the best choice for users who want to instantly see where the people they are looking for are located. 

The map view shows only real-time information, not future bookings.


Use the "Search or filter" field to locate your colleagues in the office. Simply enter what you are looking for (colleague's name) into the field.

YAROOMS will show the search results directly on the map: a window will pop up above the desk where the colleague is working. It will also include information about the length of his/her booking.

In the example, you can see that Laura Jones has booked the Desk #2 until 12pm. If you would like to know if Laura has any more desk reservations today, go to the timeline view.

2. Find a colleague using the timeline view

People search using the timeline view (Workplace → Timeline) is the best choice for users who want to see when the people they are looking for are available.

The timeline view shows both real-time and future information.

Use the "Search or filter" field, just as in the map view. Simply enter what you are looking for (colleague's name) into the field.

YAROOMS will show the search results directly on the timeline. You will be able to see at what time intervals and at what spaces the colleague has reservations. 

In the example, you can see that Laura Jones has the Desk 2 booked from 8am to 12pm, and the Desk 8 booked from 1.30pm to 8pm.
