What are capacity objects

Capacity objects represent work desks, rooms or spaces resources such as workstations, meeting rooms and phone booths in the workplace. You need to add capacity objects to floor plans before installing Occupancy sensors.

Changes done to capacity objects in EG Optimaze might appear a few minutes later in EG Worksense. If the changes are not seen see instructions here

The most important aspect of capacity objects is that they define the capacity of a resource, such as how many people can fit in a meeting room. This can be then utilized when booking resources or calculating utilization of spaces.

If changes in capacity objects are not shown in EG Worksense, you can sync building floors.toc
