The Booking status - Map widget
The floor plan live — every room and desk coloured by its availability. Every setting, grouped as the editor groups them: view, status, labels, interaction and location.
The floor plan itself, live: every room and desk drawn where it stands and coloured by whether it is free, according to the bookings in Booking. On a touch screen it is also a place to search, book and take a route away by QR code.

Settings
The rail folds them into five groups; each is a page of its own.
Map view
The camera itself is framed by dragging the map in the editor’s preview, floor by floor — the group keeps only what a drag cannot say.
| Setting | What it does | When to change it |
|---|---|---|
| Floor view angles | Starting poses for the framing: Top down, Tilted, Turn left, Turn right, Recenter — and Reset to default | The plan should read as a flat map, or square up with how the screen is mounted |
| Lock map view | Freezes the camera where you framed it | The screen must never wander off the pose you chose |
| Level strip | The floor switcher along the map’s edge | Off when the map shows a single floor anyway |
| Floor name pill | Names the current floor on the map | On when the level strip is off and the audience still needs to know which floor this is |
Resource status
| Setting | What it does | When to change it |
|---|---|---|
| Show remaining time | How long a busy resource stays busy | Off where the colour alone is the message |
| Show organizer | Who holds the current booking — with Organizer photo and Organizer name as separate switches once on | A staff-facing map; keep it off on a public screen |
| Availability legend | A key explaining the colours | A lobby audience that has never seen the map before |
| Short-available color | A third colour for rooms free only briefly, with Short-available threshold (minutes) and the colour to use | “Free but not for long” matters — walk-in meetings near the next booking |
| In-preparation color | Its own colour while a resource is being made ready, and which colour | Rooms with a service or cleaning gap between bookings |
| Waiting-check-in color | Its own colour while a booking waits for check-in | Check-in is enforced and the difference between reserved and arrived matters — see how check-in and no-show work |
Labels
| Setting | What it does | When to change it |
|---|---|---|
| Room labels | Whether rooms are named on the plan: Always show, Show when hover or Hidden | A dense plan where every name at once is unreadable |
| Desk labels | The same, for desks | Desk farms label better by zone than by desk |
| Equipment labels | The same, for equipment | — |
| Parking labels | The same, for parking spaces | — |
| Other resource labels | The same, for everything else | — |
| Label by access ID | Labels each resource with its access ID instead of its name; resources without one keep their name | The audience navigates by numbers — desk codes, lot numbers |
Interaction
| Setting | What it does | When to change it |
|---|---|---|
| Touch interaction | Whether the map responds to touch at all | Off for a display behind glass; the three switches below apply only while this is on |
| Resource search | A search box for finding a resource by name | On wherever people arrive not knowing where their room is |
| Show filter bar | On-screen filtering by resource type | A mixed plan where someone only wants desks |
| Time slider | Scrubs the map to a future time | People planning ahead, not just looking now |
| Scan-to-go QR on route | A QR code on a drawn route, to take the directions away on a phone | Works with or without touch — on a non-touch screen it is the only way to take a route along |
| Allow booking from map | Booking a free resource straight from its pop-up | The map is a booking kiosk, not just a status display |
| Require check-in | Booking from the map also demands check-in | Your booking policy expects it everywhere else too |
Location
| Setting | What it does | When to change it |
|---|---|---|
| Floors on the map | Which floors load: Follow device location, All resources, By building or By floor, with a matching picker | The screen should show its own building rather than every site |
| Type | Narrows the plotted resources by type; empty means Any resource type | Rooms only, on a plan that also holds desks |
| Auto-cycle floors | Steps through the floors on its own, at the Cycle interval (seconds) | A display covering several floors with nobody there to switch them |
What this does not control
- The plan itself. Rooms, desks and their positions are drawn on the floor plan in Booking’s resource setup — the map only colours them.
- The widget background. This widget ignores the design-wide widget background — the plan is its own surface. Everything else in Widgets and the places they go applies.
