Seats booked by - different info on LocDir vs. New general Reservation

[pschmiedel]

Hi all,
When a user is on the Location directory (having the "Reservations" checkbox checked) and is clicking in a booked workspace, one can see which user has booked that space. So far so good.

Now, if you use the "New general Reservation" item and want to book a space on a given date, you see that a space is booked. But it only says "booked" on the map view, I cant tell by whom and therefore can not book a space next to my buddies? 

As both use the map, I find that a strange difference and my customer does not like it. Did anyone try to change that already ?

Thanks and have a nice start in the week.

Cheers
Peter

This is a known UX inconsistency between the Location Directory map and the New General Reservation map in WSD.

The Location Directory shows who booked a space when you click it. The reservation flow only shows "Booked" — no user details.

To fix it, here's what to look at:

The reservation data lives in the sn_wsd_rsv_reservation table. This is the table where reservation records and their states are stored. The field that captures who the booking is for is labeled "This reservation is for" in the UI. This field can be controlled via the Reservable Module configuration under the "Reservation Widget Configuration" tab. The space data itself comes from sn_wsd_core_space (part of the Workplace Core plugin sn_wsd_core).

To show the reserved-by user on the booking map, you'd need to extend the map tooltip/popover component used in the reservation flow to query sn_wsd_rsv_reservation for active reservations matching that space and date, and display the user from the "This reservation is for" field.

Privacy note: WSD provides controls to manage employees' location visibility when someone is searching for them or searching for a space near them, so review those privacy settings before exposing reserved-by info in the booking flow.

Hello @pschmiedel, in one of our recent versions, we allowed employees to view the name of the employee who reserved the space on the map. The employee can click on the gear icon (bottom left corner of the map).

You can also click on the space to show a card with the name of the employee who reserved it.

Available options:

• Show names for permanent assigned seating only
• Show name of the person who booked the space only
• Don't show employee names

Kind regards,

Arvid

Hello @pschmiedel,

To make the middle option pop up, this sys propertie has to be "true"

'sn_wsd_core.floor_plan.portal.show_reservation_details'

With kind regards,
