Employee groups
Assign employee groups to parking zones, set booking priorities per group and filter reports by group.
Employee groups let you give selected employees access to specific parking zones. After you assign a group to a parking zone, employees in that group can book spots in that zone, in addition to booking in areas that are open to everyone. You can also set booking priorities for each group, which control how many days ahead its members can book. You can also filter employees and reports by group.
Good to know: The initial group configuration is handled by Tidaro Support. To use the this feature contact the Support Team or start a ticket.
Note: Employee Groups are designed for handling Parking only.
In short
- You assign a group to a parking zone in Manage > Spots > Areas.
- Employees in the group can book in the assigned zone and in areas open to everyone.
- Each group can have its own number of bookable days (booking priorities).
- You can filter by group in the employee list and in reports, and find employees who have no group.
How to assign an employee group to a parking zone
- In the menu, go to Manage.
- Unfold Spots and click Areas.
- Choose the parking area you want to manage
- Go to the Employee groups tab
- Click + assign employee group at the bottom of the screen
- Choose the group from the list
- Click + assign at the bottom of the screen to confirm.
Booking priorities for groups
Booking priorities let you set a different number of visible booking days for each employee group. For example, the "sales" group can book up to 10 days ahead, while the "marketing" group can book 5 days ahead.
This lets you adjust Tidaro to the way different teams work. If some of your employees plan meetings days or even weeks ahead, you can let them book resources further in advance too. For example, you can have a group called "Drivers" for all employees who drive company cars and allow them to book 10 days in advance.
How to check or change an employee's groups
An employee's groups decide which zones they can book in and how many days ahead they can book.
- In the menu, go to Manage.
- Unfold Employees and click All employees.
- Choose the employee you want to review.
- In the employee's details, check which groups the employee belongs to. You will also see their bookings and assigned resources.
- To change the employee's groups, click Edit in the assigned groups section.
How to filter employees by group
In the employee list
Go to Manage > Employees > All employees and filter the list by group. You can also filter for employees who have no group assigned.
In the example below, four employees are not in any group. They might be newly hired employees who still need to be assigned to a group.
In reports
Go to Manage > Analytics. You can filter by group in:
- attendance reports (desks and parking spots)
- employee activity reports (desks and parking spots)
You can also add employee groups to the employee CSV data export.
