Finding a Colleague

This article explains how to find your colleagues in the office using the map or the timeline view.

You can use YAROOMS to find colleagues if your organization’s visibility settings allow it.

1. Find a colleague using the Map View

Note: Open Workplace → Map to locate a colleague’s booked space on the floor plan. Use the location and date controls at the top to choose where and when to look.
  1. Enter your colleague’s name in the Find a space or person field.
  2. Look under People in the search results. Each result shows the colleague and the floor and date associated with their booking.
  3. Click the matching person result. The separate Search everything option performs a broader search.

The search field and matching People result are outlined in red. In the example below, searching for Lee Kimberlee returns a booking on Ground Floor #1 for Friday, October 9.

After you select the result, the map moves to the booked desk, zooms in, and opens its popup card. The card shows the desk, the colleague’s name, and the booking time.

In this example, Lee Kimberlee has booked Desk #6 from 8:00am to 5:00pm. The desk card, outlined in dashed green, also shows its availability and features.

2. Find a colleague using the Timeline View

Note: Open Workplace → Timeline to view a colleague’s booking in a schedule of spaces and time slots. Use the date controls to browse bookings on different days.
  1. Enter your colleague’s name in the Search or filter field.
  2. Look under People for the matching result. Check the floor and date shown beside it.
  3. Click the person result to navigate to their booking.

The search field and matching People result are outlined in red. In the screenshot below, the timeline is on Wednesday, October 28, while the result for Kyla Rosamond points to Ground Floor #1 on Wednesday, October 14.
