Occupancy
Occupancy is used to indicate whether a location is actually in use (physically).
A location’s occupancy is detected by using sensors.
In Planon Workplace Insights, a location’s occupancy (to which an active measurement point is linked) is represented by an Occupancy status and a Reading value (displaying the number of people, in API 3).
*Reading value in API 3 displays the number of people. In API 4, the value can be 0 or 1, for the actual number of people a different field is assigned).
Occupancy statuses
The data engine continuously updates occupancy statuses into Planon Workplace Insights. For calculating an occupancy status, the readings of the sensoring system and the previous occupancy status are taken into account.
The following occupancy statuses are updated by the data engine:
Occupied
Non-occupied
Reservation imminent
Idle
Inactive
Immeasurable
Pause
