This update introduces the ability to define custom booking types and allows multiple bookings within a single day. \n<\/p>\n

Custom Booking Types<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Previously, MyDesk was limited to offering only two standard booking types: work from home<\/span> or work in the office. With the new update, users and businesses can now customize and create a variety of different booking types. These can include categories such as ‘customer visits’, ‘out of office’, ‘sick day’ and ‘vacation’. This provides a more detailed and nuanced view of employees’ daily activities and attendance.<\/p>\n

Integration with Outlook<\/h2>\n


\nA key feature of this update is the integration with Microsoft Outlook. When a user makes a booking through MyDesk – whether it’s for a sick day or a customer meeting – that booking is automatically reflected in the user’s Outlook calendar. This ensures that colleagues can see up-to-date information about each other’s availability, whether they use MyDesk or Outlook to check. <\/p>\n

More Bookings in One Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Another significant improvement is the ability to make multiple bookings in a single day. This is especially useful for employees who have different activities or work locations throughout the day. For example, an employee can now book ‘work from home<\/span>‘ in the morning and ‘office space’ in the afternoon. This flexibility supports a more dynamic and variable working day, which is in line with modern working practices.<\/p>\n

Advantages<\/strong><\/h2>\n


\nThis update to MyDesk offers several benefits: <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n
  1. Increased Customization:<\/strong> Companies can now more accurately customize the system to their specific needs and workflows.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  2. Improved Overview:<\/strong> Managers and team members get a clearer picture of employee presence and activities. For example, illness<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  3. Efficient Time Management:<\/strong> Integration with Outlook simplifies time management and coordination between teams.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  4. Flexibility:<\/strong> The possibility of multiple bookings per day offers greater flexibility for employees, which can increase job satisfaction and productivity.<\/li>\n
