This new view is to be found in the "Floors" section as a new tab under “Utilization by space category”.
If your building is organized in space categories (e.g. zones) that are repeated on each floor, this view allows you to look at the state of the building. New in this overview is it therefore to be able to look at all floors at once!
The matrix shows utilization peaks per zone and floor allowing you to identify which zones can be rebalanced to optimally use the space for your employees.
N/A in this context means that this particular zone doesn't exist on this floor.

If you have occupancy sensors or people-counting sensors set up in a particular space (such as a meeting room or a phone booth), you can now see exactly how, when, and to what extent they're being used. New meeting room occupancy analytics tell you:
You'll know if a Floor or Space has sensor-enabled spaces by the sensor icon next to its name. Hover over the icon to see the exact number of individual sensor-enabled spaces.
The Individual spaces tab can be accessed from any Floor analysis (Details) and Space analysis (Details) view and displays a list of sensor-enabled spaces.
Individual space analysis (Details) view
Click on the Details of any sensor-enabled space to learn more about the daily occupancy rate and the meeting room's precise location on a floor plan.
If you people-counting sensors are installed, you'll see a Visitors analysis widget which contains data on how many people occupied a meeting room and how often did the space surpass its intended capacity.
If you would like to try out meeting room occupancy analytics for a building, let your Locatee point of contact know!
The live view will now also show individual spaces which are sensor enabled.
The drop-down list enables users to select between floor sections or individual spaces view. When the latter is selected, clicking on a specific space on the floor plan (which is sensor enabled) will provide you with more detailed information on this space.
Locatee admins can now easily set and edit the working hours of a building in the Building setup page. In addition to selecting work days, admins can define as many time windows as needed.

You can now log into Locatee directly from the Locatee homepage.
Figuring out which buildings in your portfolio are on which Locatee plan just got easier. In the portfolio-level dashboards (Portfolio overview and Return to work), buildings are now shown alongside icons.
 | means a building is on Locatee's basic plan, Portfolio Insights |
 | means a building has been upgraded to Locatee's Workplace Operations plan |
These icons remain visible even if the "Show geo-hierarchy" toggle is switched off. When in doubt, you can always hover over an icon to find out which Locatee plan a building is on.
We've made quite a few improvements to Locatee: some of these changes are immediately noticeable, such as a sleeker and friendlier user design or the way office utilization patterns are visualized. Others are more behind-the-scenes upgrades to our analytics' performance. Below you'll find a summary of the latest and greatest Locatee updates.
The utilization bar is a new way to present office occupancy and utilization data at a glance. Utilization metrics are always displayed in context of one another, allowing you to better understand and compare the data points.
The utilization bar displays the following metrics:
With just one glance, you can gauge the overall health and performance of any building, any floor, or workspace in your portfolio.
Whenever you’re looking at metrics such as utilization or peak, you’ll now see period-over-period trend comparisons displayed as either red or blue percentages next to the main metrics.
Trend comparisons lets you more easily monitor how utilization in a particular building or area shifts over time.
You now also have the ability to customize the date range you want to analyze by selecting the “Custom time period” option in the time filter.
The utilization KPIs shown as display has been standardized and now displays the following metrics:
The building list is interactive, and you can drag and drop columns into the order you want by clicking on the header section. In addition, clicking on the gear icon reveals additional metrics: select or deselect any metric to add or remove it from your dashboard overview.
If you find yourself in need of a refresher on using Locatee or are providing an overview for a new user, start by taking a look at the user manual now available in the sidebar.
The guide includes information on each of Locatee’s dashboards and views, as well as a glossary explaining all the utilization metrics.
Finally, the Live view now displays a timestamp to indicate the last time a data was retrieved.
