# Book a desk

To book a desk, navigate to **my floor** within the **workspace** group and use either the map, calendar or list view to identify the desk you want to book.

If you hover over the desk, you will see the following information:

* <mark style="color:blue;">**The availability of the desk**</mark>
* <mark style="color:blue;">**The organiser of the desk booking (if it's busy)**</mark>
* <mark style="color:blue;">**Any relevant description added by an admin**</mark>
* <mark style="color:blue;">**If the desk is assigned to a specific employee**</mark>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.meetuma.ai/uma-knowledgebase/user-guides/resource-scheduling/book-a-desk.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
