# Auto-allocate

## Auto Allocate

Learn how gospace's auto-allocate feature automatically assigns team zones without requiring manual scheduling

### Overview

Auto-allocate removes the need for scheduling entirely by automatically assigning team zones based on attendance forecasts. Teams receive notifications when their zones change.

### Allocation Types

#### By Space

Teams are allocated their own dynamic neighborhood:

* Teams get dedicated spaces within the office
* Individual members without teams receive specific spaces
* Space size adjusts based on attendance forecasts

#### By Zone

Teams are allocated to configurable zones on the floorplan:

* Teams see their designated zone in notifications
* Members can self-organize within their zone
* Zones are configured through the admin console

### Forecast Options

#### Daily Aggregate Forecasts

How it works:

* Teams receive allocations based on daily forecasted attendance
* Zone sizes adjust daily based on team forecasts
* 97% forecast accuracy for team attendance
* Consistent Monday-to-Monday allocation patterns

#### Weekly Peak Forecasts

How it works:

* Teams receive fixed zone sizes based on peak attendance
* Zones remain consistent throughout the week
* Size determined by highest expected attendance

**Important:** Auto-allocate cannot be used simultaneously with manual or auto-scheduling features as this involves no human scheduling at all.

### User Experience
