Instructions

3. The time delay for a capacity object type will automatically apply to its subtypes

Best practices for choosing the duration for time delays:

  1. Workstations - We recommend to set up a time delay based on your company’s clean desk policy OR at least for the duration of lunch / a one-hour meeting

  2. Meeting rooms - We recommend to set up a 5-10 minute time delay for meeting rooms to signal it has been recently used

  3. Phone booths - Phone booths don’t necessarily need a time delay, they are generally meant for quick ad hoc use

Generally speaking the time delay gives a signal to an employee that the room or seat has recently been in use.
