- walk-up kiosks
- a tablet mounted in a conference room
- by scanning a QR code in a room or on a piece of equipment and then entering a request for this item
Workplace Views
Archibus Workplace has these views:
- The Service Catalog focuses on making requests and searching for rooms or people.
- The Dashboard provides a summary of current meetings and requests, and also buttons for requesting meeting space and working space. The Create a Request button brings up a screen similar to the Service Catalog above.
-
When run from a kiosk, Workplace highlights a floor's rooms by department. This highlight helps to orient guests and occasional users to the floor plan.
