Q: On my web app's Homepage, what is 'Set a Status'?
Booking a workspace means that you are in the office. If you are not, 'Set a status' allows you to choose whether you are working from home, elsewhere or out of the office. This helps your administrators understand the use of the office space; therefore, we recommend you set your status weekly via the web app.
Q: Do I need to add my email or register somewhere to access the portal?
No. You should be able to log in to RICOH Spaces by simply using your work email.
Q: How can I change the language on RICOH Spaces Help?
Scroll down any RICOH Spaces Support page completely and at the bottom right of your screen, you should see a drop-down menu with all the languages available at the moment. Select the one desired.
Q: How do the apps provide Live updates if someone is in a space?
IoT sensors capture real-life data which are synchronized with the apps to provide you with the most advanced features.
Q: How can I register a guest?
Only administrators have access to this feature.
To register a guest, head to your web app, then to the Visitors tab. Click on add a visitor and follow the steps.
Bookings
Q: How can I see someone's booking?
There are multiple ways to do this. One of them is simply heading to the Floorplan and hovering on the red (booked) desks to see the names appearing.
Another way is to open your RICOH Spaces mobile app, select the Office tab and browse to see the desks booked and by whom.
Q: Can a colleague book or cancel a booking for me?
At the moment it is only possible to book on behalf of someone. In order to do that the person had to set you up in their settings. Check our article here to learn how to do that.
Q: I want to change my desk, how can I do that?
Cancel the booking via the Homepage by clicking on your booking and then on ‘Release’. Then select a new desk and book it.
Q: Do I need to check out at the end of the day?
We suggest you do so. Simply checkout via the Homepage.
Q: I made a booking and received a notification asking me to check-in. How do I do that?
There are usually three ways to check in:
- On the web app: access the Homepage and click on the 'check-in' button.
- On the mobile app: via the Homepage, click on the 'check-in' button.
- If your company has enabled this function, use your RICOH Spaces app, tab 'Scan QR' and scan the QR code sticker of the desk you have booked.

Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment.

There are 2 explanations for that:
- You haven’t checked in at the space on time and thereby your booking was automatically cancelled
- One of the administrators cancelled your booking
Q: I made a desk booking by mistake, how can I cancel it?
If you don’t need your booking anymore, be courteous and allow another of your colleagues to book it.
Find your booking on your home page, click on it and release it. This will cancel the booking and make it available to book.
Q: How can I book a desk in another office?
Change your location by clicking on the location icon. Select a desk on the relevant floorplan and confirm the booking.
Q: Why can’t I book any more desks this week?
It is most likely that an administrator has put in place a maximum of desk bookings per week and that you reached this number. Contact your administrator to understand more about it.
Q: How can make a half-day booking?
You will be able to make half-day bookings only if an administrator has enabled this function. If so, while making a booking, you will have the option to book for Morning, Afternoon or for the whole day.

At the moment, it is not possible.

Q: My meeting finished earlier, how do I release the booking?

- If you have room panels installed in the office, use the room panel and click on 'Cancel'
- Once finished, on the schedule page of the RICOH Spaces app, find your event and cancel it.
Q: Will others be notified if I include them in a room booking?

On the desktop app, to add parking to your desk, select your desk on the floorplan and before confirming your booking, select ‘Get a space’. This will automatically attribute you to a parking spot. Once done, you will receive a confirmation email.
For booking parking on its own, simply go to the Floorplan, and select the relevant floor. Once you have chosen your parking, confirm. You should then receive an email confirming your booking.

Yes, you can add more than one vehicle to your profile. Here is a guide on how to add a vehicle to your profile. You will need to be on the web app to do it.
Groups & Loop
Q: What is the difference between groups and loop?
Groups are useful for administrators looking to easily book a zone or room for a group of people. 'My loop' allows you to visually see where are the people in your loop via the tab ‘Groups’ or directly by filtering on the floorplan. Groups are useful for administrators, as they can make groups public and book more easily on behalf of people.
Q: Can I have multiple loops?
No, you can only have one loop.
Q: Do people know they are in my loop/ group(s)?
No, they don’t. Unless you are an administrator and made a group public.
People

It would give you the possibility to call or email this person.
Q: What happens if I click on someone in the People tab on the app and click on Call?
If the person has added a phone number, it would call it. If the person hasn’t added a phone number, the call won’t go through.

It would open a new email with their work email as the recipient.
Roles
Q: How many roles are there?
