Setting Up Employee Attributes
Sep 15, 2025
Employee attributes allow you to add important details to each user profile, such as skills, certifications, roles, or languages. These attributes are then displayed in desk bookings, making it easier for employees to choose seats near colleagues with relevant expertise.
The attribute system also supports quick searches. You can search by attribute to find teammates who share specific skills or responsibilities, which helps with collaboration and team planning.
In addition to day-to-day convenience, attributes can also support important organizational needs. For example, you can assign roles such as “First Aid” or “Fire Safety Officer” so everyone knows who to contact in case of an emergency. Recording compliance-related certifications through attributes also helps you demonstrate that your office meets ISO requirements.
Setting up employee attributes ensures that your workplace is not only more efficient and collaborative, but also safer and more compliant.

Go to My Office.
Select the relevant day.
