Buildings: Managing neighborhoods

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

This article covers:

• Creating a neighborhood
• Editing a neighborhood
• Deleting a neighborhood

Prerequisites:

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

Creating a neighborhood

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

• Click on the floor you want to add a neighborhood to
• Click “Add” on the right side of the page, then click “Neighborhoods”
• Enter the name of the neighborhood
• Newly created neighborhoods will be public by default. Toggle on the "Restrict neighborhood access" toggle to make a neighborhood private and assign it to specific teams.
• You can also assign multiple teams to the same neighborhood on the same or different days. Note that unticking a day for all teams will make the neighborhood 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”
• Neighborhoods are visible on the left-hand side of the floor view under the “Desks” tab. You can expand and collapse neighborhoods 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 neighborhood

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

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