Location profiles dictate where users can book a workspace or indicate to what workplace they are coming. In doing so you can carefully limit or open up your office that need to use specific facilities.

Configure a location profile
To decide which location profiles you would like to set up, we advise the following steps:
- Find out the different needs within your organization when it comes to working at specific locations. Think of geographies, functions, or hierarchy.
- Create groups with different location profiles for those needs.
Next, per group, think of the following questions:
- Does this group work internationally or nationally?
- Does this group work in multiple buildings or one home base?
- Are there restricted areas or floors they can or cannot make a booking?
After you decided how to move forward, start configuring your location profiles.
- Open the admin portal (https://admin.mapiq.com) and go to the Access tab.
- Navigate to the Workplace Location profiles >> Edit >> + Add profile.
- (Re)name the profile so that it's recognizable. We advise using a descriptive name, which could relate to a department, or group of people.
- Select Edit locations, a new window pops up as shown below.
- In this window a tree overview of all your building elements is shown (building, floor, area). Select the building(s), floor(s) and area(s) you want bookable within the profile.
- If you want a profile that includes all the buildings, simply select All buildings.
- Three checkbox visualizations are made to indicate the selections made.
 |  |  |
All is selected | A selection of floor(s)/area(s) | Nothing is selected |
All selected
When a checkbox indicates that All is selected, additional buildings, floors and areas are automatically included for that location profile. If A selection is made, it will not automatically be part of the profile, and it is necessary to add it manually.
