Assigning Space Types to Multiple Desks and Rooms

Space Types can be assigned to multiple desks and rooms using the Multi-Select tool. The Multi-Select tool is located in Move Manager. 

Select the Multi-Select tool from the Action Panel in Move Manager. 



Then use the dropdown menu to choose whether you are Selecting Seats or Selecting Rooms and Spaces.



On the floor plan, select the seats or rooms to which you want to assign a Space Type. Then in the Multi-Select tool, expand the Actions dropdown menu and choose Change Space Type from the list. 



The Change Space Type screen then opens. Select your desired Space Type (1) from the list and then select Save (2).
