v2.1.0
We're excited to announce the release of gospace v2.1.0. This update introduces an enhancement to our scheduling system, designed to streamline the booking process and improve user experience.
New Feature: Default Workspace Type Setting
We're introducing a small bug impactful new feature that allows users to set their default type. This enhancement is particularly beneficial for organisations with locations that primarily use one type of workspace, such as those mainly booking rooms or open spaces.
With this update, users can now set their preferred default workspace type (either 'Space' or 'Room') in their schedule settings, an admin can also change or set a users defaults via their profile in the admin console.
When a user schedules for a specific date, the system will automatically populate the type field with their chosen default. This can reduce the number of clicks required to book a workspace, especially for users who consistently book the same type.
For example, if a user primarily books rooms, they can set their default type to 'Room'. Now, every time they schedule a workspace, 'Room' will be pre-selected, eliminating the need to manually change from 'Space' to 'Room' for each booking.
We've also integrated this feature with our fixed days functionality. When setting up fixed days, the system will use the user's default type from their schedule settings. However, we've maintained flexibility by allowing users to override this default on a per-day basis in their fixed day settings. This means you can have a general preference for spaces, but still easily book rooms on specific fixed days if needed.
If a user hasn't set a default type in their schedule settings, the system will default to 'Space' to maintain consistency with our previous behaviour.
This feature was developed in response to feedback from our users, particularly those in organisations where one type of workspace booking is predominant. We will further this functionality to allow default types to be automatically set, and also to be used by forecasting, so we can also forecast room intentions.
