Hoteling Available Rooms should work with Back2Work / Day in Office
If an employee is assigned to a room set to Hotelable=Yes and has their “Days in Office” set to 2 days, the space should be available the rest of the days, but it doesn’t work this way.
When trying to book a room, availability is defined by a few different thing, the part that I’m concerned with is:
Current: If Room Capacity less than Count of Employees assigned.
Proposed: If Room Capacity less than Count of Employees assigned to work that day.
Example is that I’m assigned a room in the employee table for Tuesday & Thursday. My room’s record is set to Hotelable=Yes. Someone should be able to Book that space on any given Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat/Sun, but the system currently will not allow that because it’s not referencing the daysinoffice field of the employee table.
Many places are trying to find solutions to limited space and availability, allowing end users to reserve/book a room is a great feature but it’s a shame it isn't including rooms where the person is not working. As a Space Planner develops a way to have employees return it would be nice to have this flexibility both now and looking to the future as organizations use less space.
If em.daysinoffice field is null than the system should assume/default to “working every day” and thus operate as though every day was already checked. This would prevent any changes/disruptions from current operations for users who are not using this em.daysinoffice field.

This is one of several request from user leads as they manage RTO with tools provided. A mix of assigned and available for booking by fixed days for a specified workpoint, if doable in some fashion would be greatly appreciated.

As a facility or department manager, it's going to be hard for me to get the list together of who will be in the office and when. Better to crowd-source that information.
In Workplace, can the employee profile display that information (days in office, back to work info) and have a way for the employee to update their own data?
