Floor Plan Mapper Release Notes – Summer 2026
Floor Plan Mapper now offers new features that make desk booking management more convenient. This update introduces automatic release of unconfirmed bookings, time zone support for buildings, and a new Bookings section for viewing bookings and finding available desks.
1. Automatic Release of Unconfirmed Bookings
The booking confirmation system now includes a new option to automatically release desks when an employee does not confirm a temporary booking.
When Booking confirmation emails are enabled, an administrator can activate Enable auto-delete and specify how long the system should wait for confirmation. If the employee does not confirm the booking within the specified time after the email is sent, the booking will be automatically deleted and the desk will become available to other employees again.
The auto-delete timeout is configured based on the confirmation email timing and must leave at least 1 hour before the booking starts. For example, if the confirmation email is sent 24 hours before the booking, the maximum auto-delete timeout is 23 hours.
For recurring bookings, auto-delete applies only to the specific unconfirmed booking occurrence. All other bookings in the series remain unchanged.
This feature helps automatically release unused desks and make them available to other employees without requiring additional action from an administrator.
2. Building Time Zones
Each building in Floor Plan Mapper can now have its own time zone. When a user switches to a specific building, the system uses that building’s time zone for booking-related operations.
This is especially useful for organizations with offices in different regions. Users no longer need to account for the time difference between their current location and the selected office — Floor Plan Mapper automatically uses the building’s time zone when creating and editing bookings.
Selecting a time zone is required for all new buildings. The building’s time zone is also taken into account when checking desk availability and searching for free desks. If the user and the selected building are in different time zones, Floor Plan Mapper displays information about the time difference.
Times in booking-related email notifications are also displayed according to the building’s time zone.
3. New Bookings Section
Floor Plan Mapper now includes a new Bookings section that brings together employee booking information and makes it easier to find available desks.
In the Bookings tab, users can view current, past, and future bookings, including temporary bookings and permanent desk assignments. The list can be filtered by employee, floor, and date range. For current and future bookings, users can also quickly navigate directly to the corresponding desk on the map.
In the Free Desks tab, users can select a floor, date, and time to see desks available during the selected period. Once a suitable workspace is found, users can proceed directly to booking it using the Book button.
The new section simplifies booking management by providing a single place to view employee bookings, quickly locate the relevant desks on the map, find available workspaces, and proceed directly to booking them.
