Room booking

In the MyJoan Portal under Schedule > Rooms, you can see all rooms assigned to Joan devices, filter them and book one; an admin first enables in-app room booking in Settings > Rooms > Overview.

In the Rooms section, you’ll see a clean, intuitive table displaying all rooms currently assigned to your Joan devices. This centralized view allows you to easily browse and manage room availability. Simply navigate to Schedule → Rooms in the MyJoan Portal to get started.

If you do not see this option on the website, an admin needs to enable it company-wide:

  1. Log in to MyJoan as an admin.
  2. Go to Settings > Rooms > Overview.
  3. Tick the In-app room booking (mobile & web) checkbox.
  4. Click Save.

Schedule → Rooms now shows for everyone in your company.

To help you find the right space quickly, the view can be filtered using several criteria:

  • Building – Narrow down rooms by location
  • Floor – See only rooms on a specific level
  • Amenities – Filter by features such as whiteboards, conferencing equipment, etc.
  • Room Name – Select a specific room directly
MyJoan Schedule > Rooms view with the room calendars and the building, floor, amenities and room filters

If the My meetings only option is enabled, only the meetings created by you will be visible in the calendar below.

How do I create a reservation?

There are two simple ways to create a new room reservation from the Rooms section.

Simply click the Reservation button at the top of the interface and fill in the booking details, or, select a specific time slot directly on a room’s calendar to create a reservation on the spot.

This flexible and user-friendly layout is designed to make room scheduling as smooth as possible, whether you're managing one office or multiple locations.

How do I book a room from the floor plan?

To book a room from the Floor Plan, the room resource first needs to be added to your office layout:

  1. Go to Settings > Rooms > Layout.
  2. Find the room on the floor map and click its position.
  3. Assign the room resource calendar to that location.
Add room to floor plan dialog with the Choose room drop-down

The room can now be booked under Schedule > Floor plan.

What room booking data is collected and kept?

This section explains how calendar data is collected and synchronized.

Data Synchronization Policy

We synchronize calendar data for the next three months from the current date and keep it up to date continuously. Events scheduled further in the future are synchronized as they come within this window.

Data Retention Policy

Synchronized data for the Room Booking feature is kept within MyJoan for operational use and data analytics while you use the service.

Upon a user's request for data deletion:

  • All their existing room booking reservations will be removed from the operational database.

Types of Data Collected

We collect the following calendar data:

  • For calendar events: Title, summary, start/end time, status, visibility, conference link, and whether it's an all-day event.
  • For attendees, organizers, and creators: Email, name, and status.

For more details, see Security and data protection.
