Buildings: Managing neighbourhoods

Neighbourhoods are a great way to organise your desks, or restrict booking access by assigning one or more teams to neighbourhoods.

This article covers:

• Creating a neighbourhood
• Editing a neighbourhood
• Deleting a neighbourhood

Prerequisites:

• You must be at least a global or building admin in Kadence
• You must be using the Kadence web app

Creating a neighbourhood

Create neighbourhoods to manage your employees and where they book by following the steps below:

• Click on the floor you want to add a neighbourhood to
• Click “Add” on the right side of the page, then click “Neighbourhoods”
• Enter the name of the neighbourhood
• Newly created neighbourhoods will be public by default. Toggle on the "Restrict neighbourhood access" toggle to make a neighbourhood private and assign it to specific teams.
• You can also assign multiple teams to the same neighbourhood on the same or different days. Note that unticking a day for all teams will make the neighbourhood unavailable for all users.
• On the right-hand side, you can add desks by searching for them or by clicking desks on the interactive floor plan
• Once you are happy with your selection click “Add”
• Neighbourhoods are visible on the left-hand side of the floor view under the “Desks” tab. You can expand and collapse neighbourhoods and hover over them to see which desks belong to them

Note: You can only restrict access to existing teams. To learn how to create teams, see: managing teams for more information

Editing a neighbourhood

Feel free to edit neighbourhoods whenever you want by following the steps below:

• In the floor view click on the three dots (⋮) next to the neighbourhood you wish to edit
• Click “Edit neighbourhood”. Here you can:
  • Change the name of the neighbourhood
    
  • Make your neighbourhood public or private by clicking on the "Restrict neighbourhood access" toggle. Assign teams to a private neighbourhood on certain or all days.
  • Add or remove desks from the neighbourhood by clicking on the cross (x) or by clicking desks on the interactive floor plan
• Once you are happy with the changes, click “Save”
  

Deleting a neighbourhood
