Insights are a powerful tool to use in order to make informed decisions for your office. Here is a guide to help you navigate through the data gathered.
Key elements of the insight reports:
All reports offer a seamless design across all pages making it easier to use.
View multiple locations at once
Custom date range
Navigate with the chart icon to see your company's usage
At the top of the Desk Usage report, you will see the available filters:
Location Filter - You can add one or more locations and the report will provide all the data relating to your choice. This is a core filter and as such how all other filters act will depend on the selection here. For example, the "Floor Filter" will only show the floors available for the Locations you have chosen, not all.
Employee Domain - Do you want to filter the data by all employees with a certain domain? For example "ricoh.co.uk"
Full Name - Filter the report by one or more specific people
Date - Choose a predefined filter such as "last 90 days" or choose your custom start and end date
Floor Name - Filter by one or more floors in a location
Zone Name - Filter by one or more zones in a location
Desk Name - Filter by one or more desks in a location
Public Group Name - Filter by one or more groups in a location
Please note that whenever you change the filters you must select "Update" for the report to refresh.
The Insights provide you with a handful amount of tables and graphs:
Trend graphs will present differently based on if you’ve chosen to filter by a whole year (the graph will show all 12 months at an appropriate level) vs if you've filtered by a week (whereby it may spread the data out and show you each individual day).
Most chart types can be hovered over to see extra information on the data.
On charts where there are multiple layers of data labeled, for example, "floors", you can click on each label to turn it on or off, showing only the data you are interested in for that occasion.
Key Metrics of the Desk Utilisation Report
Desk and Utilisation Overview
Utilisation
Utilisation takes into account the time your desk is available for, and what percentage of that time it has been booked for. For example, if a desk is available 8 hours in a day, and has been booked for 4, it is 50% utilised.
Comparison to previous period
This metric provides insight into the percentage in which the utilisation has grown or declined. For example, if it was 10% last month and its 15% this month, it has grown by 50% vs previous period (not 5%)
Total Bookings
The total amount of bookings which have been made during your selected period.
Average Bookings per day
On average, in a day, how many desk bookings are made?
Average Bookable Desks
This metric provides you with an average number of desks which are bookable.
Peak Desk Usage
What is the highest usage of desks registered? In this example, at its peak, 16% of the total desks available were used.
Desk Usage
This metric tells you what percentage of your overall desk availability has been used in ANY capacity, not taking "time booked" into account. For example, if you have 10 desks, and 3 have been booked all day, and 2 have been booked half days, that is still 50% overall desk usage.
Employee Booking Stats
This chart lists all your employees, the number of bookings they have made during the selected period as well as the number of desk bookings that have been cancelled. Using those two statistics, the reports give you a cancellation rate percentage (%).
Booking Stats by Group
This chart is similar to the Employee Booking Stats chart but provides you with stats by groups ( and not employees).
Total and Peak Desk Bookings by Day of Week
This graph provides you with information about the busiest days of the week. In this example we can see Wednesday is the busiest day.
Peak Desk Usage by Day of Week
This graph displays the busiest days for your desks. In this example, Wednesday is the busiest day followed by Tuesday.
How far in advance are users booking?
This graph helps you understand when are your users booking desks.
Total Bookings By Desk
This graph displays the top 10 of your most popular desks (most bookings).
Utilisation Trend by Floor
In this graph, each one of your floors has been attributed a colour. The most utilised floors will have the highest peaks.
Utilisation Trend by Zone
Just like the previous graph, you will see the most utilised zones (highest peaks).
Desk Cancellation overview
Cancellation Rate
The cancellation rate takes into account the total amount of bookings made which have been cancelled.
Cancelled Bookings
This number gives you the number of bookings that have been cancelled.
Average Cancellations Per Day
This number gives you an average of the number of cancellations per day.
Percentage of non-utilised cancellations
How many of the bookings which get cancelled go on to be re-utilised by the business? How much of an impact are cancellations therefore having on your utilisation, and is it a key problem to solve for you? For example, if this % is low, it means that people are cancelling with enough time, or that your spaces are in demand enough for them to go on to be utilised anyway.
When are bookings being cancelled?
In this graph, you can easily see when the bookings are cancelled.
Desk Booking Cancellation Method
What is the reason behind the cancellation of the booking? In this example, we can see that all the bookings that have been cancelled have been cancelled by the user.
Cancellation Rate Trend
In this graph, you can see the cancellation rate trend. Are there periods when more cancellations happen?
Cancelled Bookings by Desk
Are some desks more often cancelled than others? This graph will help you answer this question.
Check-in overview
Check In Rate
This percentage represents the average count of desk bookings that have been checked in.
Bookings Checked in
This number represents the total count of desk bookings that have been checked in.
Average Checked In Per Day
On average how many desks are being checked in per day? This metric answers this question.
Check In Rate (Including Cancelled Bookings)
The percentage was calculated by taking the total count of bookings that have been checked in divided by the total count of desk bookings.
Checked in Method
This graph shows you how users checked into their desks. In this case, we can see most of them checked using the web app.
Are bookings Checked in Before Start Time?
When did users check into their desks? This graph shows you whether users have checked in before or after the booking start time.
Checked in Vs Total Bookings
This graph enables a simple visualisation of the checked-in rate compared to the total count of bookings.
Are Users Checking In?
This graph shows you simply whether users are checking into their desks or not.
Released Spaces overview
Total Bookings Released
Count of desk bookings that have been released (the user didn't need the booking anymore and removed it).
Total Hours Freed by Early Release
How many hours have been freed thanks to the early release.
Average Released Bookings Per Day
This metric provides you with the average count of released bookings per day. In this example, there are on average 4 bookings released per day.
Percentage of lost released bookings
This percentage gives you an indication of the reusability of the freed time. In this case, none of the bookings that have been released have been re-used.
Percentage of Bookings Released
This percentage of bookings released took into account all the bookings and the ones which have been released. In this case, the percentage is low which means very few bookings have been released.
Average Duration Freed by Early Release
This graph compares the average released hours with the released space count. In this example, Wednesday had 84 released spaces which freed on average 8 hours.
Spaces Released Trend
This graph provides you with a quick view of the spaces' released trends. You can observe if some periods have more bookings released.
