# Display permanent seat assignments on floor maps

Display permanent space assignments along with employee names on maps.

## Before you begin

Verify that you’ve installed the following to display permanent seating assignment on the map:

-   Indoor Mapping
-   Workplace Space Mapping
-   Workplace Case Management

Employees must have a dedicated workspace allocation in their workplace profiles. Permanent seats along with employee names are displayed on the map based on the following considerations:

-   If an employee is assigned two or more workspaces, then only the primary work location is displayed on the map.
-   If privacy settings are enabled for an employee, the employee name isn’t displayed on the floor map. Selected space shows **Private user**.
    -   If two employees are sharing a space with privacy settings enabled, the floor map for a selected space doesn’t show the employee name but shows **Private user**.
    -   If two employees are sharing a space and only one of them has the privacy settings enabled, the floor map shows **Private user** for the employee who has privacy enabled.
