Configuring parking spaces
Within this section, we’ll explain how parking spaces can be configured.
MANAGE PARKING SPACES
Log in to the GoBright portal with your manager account, and choose Settings > Park.
Select Parking spaces on the submenu on the left-hand side.
The list of spaces will be displayed on the right-hand side.
CONFIGURE A PARKING SPACE
Start adding a new space by pressing the blue ‘Add’ button or select an existing one to edit.
GENERAL
The general section lets you set the general settings of the parking space.
It is recommended to give spaces a name of at least three characters, for example: ‘Park 001’.
‘Profile‘ lets you select a settings-profile, which defines how the parking space behaves in the system. For example, if no-show detection is enabled, if it is bookable, etc.
Booking instructions can be added that can be viewed when a booking is created.
LOCATION AND CLOSING A PARKING SPACE
The location can be chosen from the list of added locations. This will also set the time zone based on the defined location. If no location is chosen the time zone will need to be configured manually for the parking space.
Spaces can be closed (temporarily) so that no one will be allowed to use them.
OPTIONS
The options section let you select which amenities are available in the parking space, for example an electric charging point.
BATCH UPDATING OF EXISTING PARKING SPACES
Existing parking spaces can be selected as a multiple selection and new settings applied in bulk.
Log in to the GoBright portal with your manager account and choose Settings > Park.
Parking spaces requiring an update can be selected by ticking the boxes.
Then select the Bulk update option.
Select the required field to update
Select the new setting for the parking spaces
Confirm the Bulk update by selecting the blue Bulk update button.
Integrate Parking Spaces with M365/EntraID
You can also integrate Parking Spaces to be bookable spaces from Microsoft Teams or Outlook, they can now act as a space with an email address.
To read more and check how to setup the Integration please check the following article Desk & Parking spaces Integrated with M365/EntraID/AzureAD – GoBright Help Center.
When the steps for Integration are completed, you can continue with adding them to GoBright which is similar to adding a normal parking Space, the only addition is the Integration part and the ability to synchronize them with a separate button.
After the Integration is completed following the steps, you can either add the integration to already created parking spaces in GoBright or create new ones.
- To add it to already created Parking spaces, you will need to login to the GoBright portal > Settings > Park. Open the Parking space you need to modify, go to the part with Integration, select the M365 Integration and write the email of the Parking space you created in the Integration steps.
- To add new Parking spaces, it is suggested to use the ‘Synchronize Parking spaces’ button that will pull all the created objects with the script to GoBright.
- Or you can press the ‘Add’ button which means that you need to create each Parking space one by one.
The ‘Synchronize Parking spaces button’ can be found when you go to Settings > Park.
When the button is pressed, a Fetch action is triggered from GoBright to the tenant, and it searches for all the created Parking spaces and will show them on the list.
You will need to select the profile of the Parking spaces, the location where you want to create them and the time zone if needed to be different.
Select the Parking spaces you want to add, press ‘Apply’, and they will be created/added to the GoBright portal.
