Working with tags

Working with tags

Tags are an easy way to identify a group of desks with shared characteristics. By using tags, you can easily extract data for specific types of workspaces. These can include department names, sub-departments, executive areas, and so on.

Tags can also describe the physical properties of a desk, such as “window seat,” “aisle seat,” “wide desk,” “narrow desk,” “height-adjustable desk,” “dual-screen desk,” “140x80cm desk,” and so on.

InfoNote! A sensor can have as many tags as you need. For example, you can have a sensor with the following tags: “Finance Department,” “window seat,” and “140x80cm desk.”

Creating tags:
You create one or more tags by going to ADMIN, selecting Space Management, and then TAGS. Here, you type the name of the tag you want to create and click CREATE TAG. Your new tag will then appear in the list below. Initially, the blue circle next to the tag will just be blue. Once you have assigned the tag to a number of sensors, the number of sensors will appear inside the blue circle.



Assigning tags to sensors:
You assign a tag to one or more sensors by going to ADMIN, selecting Space Management, and then FLOOR PLAN. In this view, find your new tag in the list and click on it so it appears in bold text. You have now selected the tag and can click on the dots (desks) on the floor plan that should be tagged. When you do this, the dots will get a bold circle around them, indicating that the tag has been assigned to those desks.



How tag statistics and history work:
Tags are time-based. This means that if you assigned 16 desks to the Finance Department for a certain period and now want to assign 2 additional desks, the statistics from today onward will reflect 18 desks, while historical data will still show 16 desks. In other words, the tagging system keeps track of history.

However, you can still generate historical statistics by creating new tags and assigning desks to them. This will include all historical data for the desks you tagged today.

InfoNote! When you create new tags or make changes to existing ones, please note that it may take a few hours before the changes are reflected in the statistics, as updates are processed at regular intervals throughout the day.
