Abstract

A device is configured to receive a user request that identifies a floor plan, and to provide the floor plan on a first portion of a user interface. The device is configured to receive, from another device, information that identifies workspaces associated with the floor plan, and to provide, on a second portion of the user interface, one or more workspace objects associated with the workspaces. The device is configured to receive a user selection of a particular workspace object and a portion of the floor plan, and to provide, on the first portion of the user interface associated with the selected portion of the floor plan, a representation of the particular workspace object.

remove, from the third portion of the user interface and based on associating the particular worker object with the first workspace object, information that identifies the particular worker object.

4. The user device of claim 2, where the one or more processors are further to:

receive a third user request to remove an assignment between an assigned worker object and an assigned workspace object;

remove an association between the assigned worker object and the assigned workspace object; and

provide, on the third portion of the user interface and based on removing the association, information that identifies the assigned worker object.

5. The user device of claim 2, where the one or more processors, when associating the particular worker object with the first workspace object, are further to at least one of:

associate, in a data structure accessible by the user device, the particular worker object and the first workspace object;

or

transmit, to the administrative device, information that identifies the particular worker object and the first workspace object,

the information causing the administrative device to associate, in a data structure accessible by the administrative device, the particular worker object and the first workspace object.

6. The user device of claim 2, where the first user request identifies a location associated with the floor plan, and

where the plurality of unassigned workers are associated with the identified location.

7. The user device of claim 1, where the one or more processors are further to:

receive information that identifies a worker associated with an assigned workspace object, of the one or more workspace objects; and

provide, on the first portion of the user interface, an indication that the worker is associated with the assigned workspace object.

8. A computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by a processor of a user device, cause the processor to;

receive location information that identifies a floor plan;

provide, based on receiving the location information, the floor plan on a first portion of a user interface;

receive, from an administrative device, first information that identifies a plurality of workspaces associated with the floor plan;

provide, on a second portion of the user interface and based on the first information, one or more workspace objects associated with the plurality of workspaces;

receive a first user selection of a particular workspace object, of the one or more workspace objects, and a portion of the floor plan; and

provide, based on the first user selection and on the first portion of the user interface associated with the selected portion of the floor plan, a representation of the particular workspace object.

9. The computer-readable medium of claim 8, where the one or more instructions further cause the processor to:

receive, from the administrative device, second information that identifies a plurality of unassigned workers associated with the floor plan;

provide, based on the second information and on a third portion of the user interface, one or more worker objects associated with the plurality of unassigned workers;

receive a second user selection of a particular worker object, of the one or more worker objects, and a first workspace object represented on the first portion of the user interface;

associate the particular worker object with the first workspace object; and

provide, based on the second user selection and on the first portion of the user interface, an indication that the particular worker object is assigned to the first workspace object.

10. The computer-readable medium of claim 9, where the one or more instructions further cause the processor to:

remove, from the third portion of the user interface and based on associating the particular worker object with the first workspace object, information that identifies the particular worker object.

11. The computer-readable medium of claim 9, where the one or more instructions further cause the processor to:

receive information that identifies an assigned worker object and an assigned workspace object;

remove an association between the assigned worker object and the assigned workspace object; and

provide, on the third portion of the user interface and based on removing the association, information that identifies the assigned worker object.

12. The computer-readable medium of claim 9, where the one or more instructions, that cause the processor to associate the particular worker object with the first workspace object, further cause the processor to at least one of:

associate, in a data structure accessible by the user device, the particular worker object and the first workspace object;

or

transmit, to the administrative device, information that identifies the particular worker object and the first workspace object,

the information causing the administrative device to associate, in a data structure accessible by the administrative device, the particular worker object and the first workspace object.

13. The computer-readable medium of claim 8, where the one or more instructions further cause the processor to:

receive information that identifies a worker associated with an assigned workspace object, of the one or more workspace objects; and

provide, on the first portion of the user interface, an indication that the worker is associated with the assigned workspace object.

14. The computer-readable medium of claim 8, where the location information identifies at least one of:

15. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a user device, information that identifies a floor plan;

providing, by the user device, the floor plan on a first portion of a user interface;

receiving, by the user device, first information that identifies a plurality of workspaces associated with the floor plan;

17. The method of claim 15, further comprising:

receiving a request to remove an assignment between an assigned worker object and an assigned workspace object;
