I’m looking for some advice on setting up a desk booking system in Trello for our small company. We have seven employees but only six desks (workstations). It’s rare that everyone is in the office at the same time, as employees have the option to work from home. However, when all desks are occupied, the seventh employee needs to work remotely.
We currently have a free Trello account but plan to upgrade to Premium soon.
Here’s my idea for the booking system:
- Create a Trello card for each week with five checklists (one for each weekday).
- Each checklist will list the desk numbers as individual items.
- Using the Premium feature, I’ll allow employees to assign themselves to a checklist item (a desk) for a specific day.
I’d also like to automate the following:
- Clear the assignments at the end of each workday.
- Modify the day on the card to prepare for the same day next week (e.g., refresh Monday’s list for the next week).
Do you think this is a good approach, or is there a better way to handle this in Trello? I searched the forums but couldn’t find anything similar.
Thank you so much for your help!
