Display counts of available reservable spaces by floor on Workplace Services app

This is somewhat related to idea WX-I-6 for displaying available reservable spaces except this is specifically for the end user rather than a kiosk. Similar to how some modern parking garages show the number of available spaces on the different levels of the structure, this enhancement to the Workplace Services app would allow a user to see all available workspaces in the building to which is currently selected.

If there are multiple floors, then each floor might have a card displaying the floor number the number of available spaces. Since we have added the QR Code Scan to Claim feature, this would be a great accompaniment to further reduce the friction in finding a workspace when you need it. If a user can see that there are 20 available workspaces on the 4th floor, they can just proceed to the 4th floor of the building without making a reservation and they can simply scan the QR code when they find an open workspace.

Companies are struggling to increase office use and removing any clicks and keypresses involved in obtaining a workspace can help in that effort.

    Mike, Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. Unfortunately, after evaluating this idea, we believe that calculating availability for a large number of spaces across a building has prohibitive performance implications. Thank you again for your feedback.
