Changelog

Today, we’re rolling out a small but impactful update to Welcome Booking, addressing building admin requests for better booking controls and clarity in personal settings.

🔹 What’s New?

✔ Restricting who can book certain rooms – Building admins can now limit room bookings to either all users, company admins or building admins, while still allowing all users to see the room availability.
✔ Temporarily disable Welcome Booking – Buildings now have the option to turn off booking functionality when needed.

🔎 Booking Restrictions – Why?

Several buildings have requested more control over who can book specific spaces:
🏢 Canteen & restaurant areas – Some locations require booking restrictions to avoid misuse.
🏋️ Gyms, rooftop terraces, and fitness rooms – Access should be limited to specific users.
🍽️ Shared social spaces – Some buildings prefer that only designated users manage bookings.

How It Works

• New room setting: Limit bookings to either all users, company admins or building admins.

• All users can still view rooms, but a banner will inform them if they lack booking permissions.

• Visibility toggle for event titles: Choose whether event titles are visible in the calendar or if only the company name is displayed.

📌 Bonus: Personal Menu Updates

We’ve updated menu names to improve clarity for all users:

• My Visits / Mine besøk

• My Access / Min adgang

• My Bookings / Mine reservasjoner

• My Profile / Min profil

We’re continuously improving Welcome Booking, and thanks to valuable feedback from our users, a set of key enhancements is now live!

What’s New?

✔ Support for pricing on paid meeting rooms – Buildings offering paid meeting rooms can now set prices easily.
✔ Improved swimlane view for building admins – A clearer overview to see bookings across all meeting rooms in the building.
✔ Company name visibility on bookings – Users can now see which company made a booking, while details remain private with a "Busy" status.
✔ Quick add to calendar – Seamlessly add your booking to your calendar with one click.

We’ve just rolled out Custom Menu Items – a new way to give tenants and tenant admins quick access to key third-party services directly from Welcome Workdays.

What’s New?

Building admins can now configure up to five custom menu items for their building. These items can be used to link to essential services such as:

• Service request portals (e.g., Storebrand’s FDV portal for tenant administrators)

• Canteen menus (e.g., Entra’s weekly food menu)

• Parking registration info

• Other building-specific third-party tools

Each menu item includes:

✔ Custom Name (Norwegian & English)
✔ Visibility Settings (All users or Tenant Admins only)
✔ Outbound URL (Opens in a new tab with an outbound link icon)

💡 How to Configure?

Admins can add and manage these links under Building Settings in the Welcome Workdays admin panel.

🔎 Why This Matters?

• Makes Welcome Workdays the centralized place for tenants to find important services

• Reduces the need for manual communication (e.g., emails about menus or service portals)

• Keeps third-party tools easily accessible without cluttering the handbook
