When searching the map, you may experience that some spaces are not visible.
In short, any spaces that do not belong to a department is not searchable in the map.
β
With the way the search engine is currently setup, it only accounts for spaces (of all space types) that belong to/ are in a Department. This means that if a space is not in a Space group and subsequently not in a Department, it will not appear in the map search results. This includes the real-time map and when searching the booking map.
While we realise this is not an ideal state, and work on improving this feature, we can recommend a quick fix to avoid this issue.
Quick fix
To avoid this issue, the solution is quite simple, simply create a Space Group and subsequently Department with all your Spaces that aren't currently in one.
β
Usually we recommend having an "All Spaces" Space Group and "Everyone & Everything" Department with "Everyone" as a User Group. You can moreover setup a rule that any new users will be automatically added to this User Group and therefore to the Department.
If you have spaces that aren't bookable and don't belong to a Department that you still want to search for, you don't have to worry. A spaces "Non-bookable" state, setup either in its Booking settings or in the Map Editor, is not affected by the Department booking rules.
