You can book a parking space by using the Search function to filter options based on your specific preferences, or by selecting a parking space directly from the interactive map. Both methods provide a fast and convenient way to find and reserve the parking space that best suits your needs.

1.1. Search – Use the filters to narrow down your options and find a desk that’s just right for you.

Smart Search – All your bookings for the day are displayed on the left-hand side. For example, if you have a parking space booked for the morning, the ‘+ Add booking’ button will appear after this booking so you can make another one for the afternoon.

This feature makes it easy to add parking booking during the available time. The system automatically suggests parking spaces based on the availability in the time slot, helping you optimize your schedule with minimal effort.

Time preference – Fixed time periods can be set for Parking bookings in both the GoBright portal and mobile app. This allows users to quickly make reservations without manually selecting start and end times.

You can choose from the following predefined booking options:

• Half day – Morning

• Half day – Afternoon

• All day

Check the article Time preferences for booking parking spaces for more information.

1.2 Mapping – The interactive map allows you to book parking spaces instantly by selecting them directly from the floor plan. Floor plans for all building levels can be uploaded to the GoBright portal, making it easy to navigate to the correct floor or department and choose your preferred parking space location.

Simply hover over a parking space to view additional details such as availability, amenities, or current status.

Clicking on a green (available) parking space opens a pop-up displaying the available time slots. Simply choose your preferred time slot, and the booking window will appear, allowing you to complete your booking quickly and easily.

A license plate may be required or optional when making a booking. You can add your license plate(s) to your profile in advance to make the booking process quicker, or you can enter the license plate manually during the booking if you prefer.

Advanced booking and Advanced time selection

With Advanced Booking, you can customize the date, time, and set the recurrence of your Parking space booking choosing to repeat it daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. This is available only for non-integrated parking spaces. Within the booking window, you can easily adjust the date and time if needed.

Note: Dashboard without Mapping – Mapping is an optional feature. If your license does not include Mapping, the Dashboard will still provide an overview of your bookings and allow you to search and book parking spaces using the Search and Smart Search options.

In Map viewer Theme Version 2, you can now search for parking spaces using the built-in search functionality.

Zone Booking is a recent addition to the GoBright portal that enables you to group parking spaces into defined zones. Rather than reserving a specific parking spaces, users can book a spot within a zone.

When a user books a zone, they reserve access to that area without needing to select an individual parking space. Upon arrival, they can choose any available parking space within the booked zone. This approach is ideal for organizations aiming to simplify parking management.

Hover over any parking space in the zone to view the number of available parking space. To make a booking within the zone, simply click on any parking space. If check-in is required, you can complete it by scanning the NFC or QR code sticker.

Note: Zone booking doesn’t work with Map viewer Version 1.

For detailed guidance on how to set up and use zone booking, refer to the detailed instructions provided in this article Zone booking for parking spaces.
