Adding time delay
Time delay means the duration how long a sensor-monitored place (e.g. meeting room, workstation, parking spot) is shown as recently occupied in EG Worksense. Generally speaking the time delay gives a signal to an employee that the room or seat has recently been in use.
Time delay is set for a capacity object main type or its subtype.
- Click Edit.. next to main capacity object type or its subtype
- Add Time delay
- Click Save
Time delay for a capacity object main type will automatically be applied to its subtypes
Best practices for choosing the duration for time delays:
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
Meeting rooms - We recommend to set up a 5-10 minute time delay for meeting rooms to signal it has been recently used
Phone booths - Phone booths don’t necessarily need a time delay, they are generally meant for quick ad hoc use
