Red – The asset is currently booked (e.g., if the current time is 14:01 and the asset is booked for 14:00).

Added Teams Link in MS Rooms
When you book a meeting room in the Flowscape system, a link is automatically generated in MS Rooms and added to your calendar. You can then use this link to invite other participants.

Always show organiser on Room Panel for Google

When creating bookings in Google, the name of the booker is always displayed for Google users, not the title of the meeting. This applies regardless of whether they choose Private or Public when creating the booking.

Updates in Flowscape Analytics Portal

Under the FlowAnalytics tab in the Flowscape portal the Only Booked category is split into “Booked & Not Used” and “Booked & No Sensor”.

To make the definitions easier to understand a definitions menu is added.

The user can switch between percentage and absolute number of assets on the y-axis.

The average and peak number of assets in the selected date span is presented in the KPI field. In the Asset Overview tab, a graph for the daily total number of assets is added.
