MyDesk Planner: New update makes meeting planning easier

MyDesk Planner is a scheduling tool that provides a consolidated overview of all meetings and meeting rooms across the organization.

The solution integrates seamlessly with office 365, combining calendar data, room availability, and catering orders into a single, clear interface.

Employees can quickly identify available rooms, track meeting changes, and manage catering requests directly from the same view.

The tool reduces manual coordination, lowers the risk of errors, and makes meeting management more efficient – especially for receptionists, assistants, and people who rely on accurate and up-to-date information.

Features

MyDesk Planner has a number of practical improvements that make it faster and more intuitive to find, sort and update meetings and meeting rooms. We’ve focused on visual improvements, flexible viewing options and better mobile access to make scheduling less time-consuming for the whole team.

Visual enhancements: making meeting rooms easier to distinguish

One of the first things you notice is that it has become easier to distinguish between meeting rooms. We’ve added the ability to colorize meeting rooms so that each room can be quickly identified visually.

In addition to colors, you can now change the sorting of meeting rooms using drag and drop. This means that the most important or most used rooms can always be at the top of the list, just the way you want it.

Multiple views – choose the one that fits your workflow

We’ve added more viewing modes so you can work in the way that makes the most sense:

  • Calendar view – a clear, date-oriented view familiar to many from Outlook.
  • Side-by-side view – perfect for comparing multiple rooms or day plans at the same time, inspired by Outlook’s layout.
  • List view – quickly edit individual meetings without having to open each booking.

List view: quick changes without hassle

In the list view, we can open a meeting directly and update practical details like catering or other meeting-related information.

Mobile view: access on the go

MyDesk Planner now also works from mobile. We can update meetings, check changes and adjust bookings directly from the phone. This provides greater flexibility and faster response time when things change at the last minute.
