In September, GoBright updated their hygienic mode feature.This was first introduced during the pandemic, and if enabled, it required a desk to be cleaned after every use. The Connect & Glow would turn purple until a card was swiped or if the desk was updated in the portal.However, it is now possible to highlight the desk as required to be cleaned at the end of every day instead of after every check-in. This is configured in the profile attached to the desk.Head to Settings > Work > Profiles and select the profile linked to the desk(s) you wish to enable this for.You can configure your profile from here, depending on your preferences. Here is an example of setting the desk as required to be cleaned at 5pm every day:Please note: If this feature is enabled, the Connect will not turn off outside of office hours until it has been marked as clean.This feature is also supported for the Interact.

A new feature was released in July 2025 which now allows users to select meeting types which are highlighted by colour. This gives users a better visual overview of upcoming meetings.This will be shown under both the ‘My Bookings’, ‘All Bookings’ and on the ‘Timeline’.My Bookings:All Bookings:Timeline:The ConfigurationUnder Settings > Meet > Meeting Types add the relevant type(s) and select your colour(s).There’s a colour picker available, or you can manually type the RGB values or HEX code.Head to Settings > Meet > Profiles and select the relevant profile for the room(s).Scroll down to the following section and enable the option:   You can make this mandatory.Once the above has been configured, when booking the room the Meeting Type option will appear:This is also available when using the GoBright App:

In GoBright, you can already book a desk / parking space on behalf of a colleague. However, since July 2025, you can now do the same for rooms within the GoBright portal. This was previously  only available via Outlook. There is now an all-in-one solution within the GoBright portal.✔ Fully integrated within the portal✔ Free✔ Don't need to leave Teams or switch between apps (if you have the add-on)The StepsOn the main dashboard (Meet-Work-Visit), head to Settings > Users > Roles.Scroll down until you see Other booking-related permissions.By default, this setting is disabled, so enable it:Make sure you save the changes at the top of the page. If you have multiple roles, carry out the above for the relevant role(s).Using the 4 squares in the top right, head to the Admin Centre.The user(s) account(s) will need to have the above role enabled for their account. Select the user.Scoll down to Meet-Work-Visit and then Roles. On the drop-down, ensure the role(s) you updated above are selected for the relevant user(s). Now that the role(s) has been updated, we can book the room on behalf of a colleague. The example below shows that I booked a meeting room for my colleague Alex.This is then put in Alex's calendar with the above information. 

Now if a meeting is canceled, updated or even edited, notifications are here. If you're the one making the change, you know the notification has been sent.  This new feature will help with: Reducing time Eliminate miscommunication Collaboration with colleagues  We understand that sometimes you may book a resource in advance, but a last-minute surprise gets in the way, and you no longer need the booking. Let's Look at the Steps...

Please work your way through this list. If you encounter any hardware issues, please read step 5 carefully. 1. Background In Q4 of 2025, GoBright launched a new routing feature for their mapping solution. This is for live directions to resources (rooms, desks & parking) on map viewers. 2. Testing The tech team at Ascentae have worked alongside the GoBright team and tested this extensively, and we're impressed with the functionality. This is a great addition to the GoBright platform. 3. Commissioning If you have purchased a commissioning package with us, we'll configure the portal remotely. However, there are some steps that on-site engineers will need to perform. These can only be carried out locally. Please see sections 4 & 5. 4. Important Info & Key Points Only V2 of the Map Viewer supports this functionality. If you're running V1, you'll need to switch. The Map Viewer must support WebView (enabled in developer mode). We'll guide you through this in the next section 👍🏻 5. Enabling WebView and V2 Enabling WebView This is a simple procedure and needs to be carried out in the Android settings on the device. Let's walk you through the steps. Close the GoBright application — instructions are here. Scroll down to the Application section and keep tapping Current Version until it says 'you're now a developer'. On the same page, look for Developer Tools and select Browser. Change the browser to WebView. If it's stuck on loading, don't worry. Press settings and reboot the panel from the options menu. Now that we've updated to WebView, let's flick the switch to the V2 of the map viewer... Switching to V2 Log in to your GoBright portal here. Head to Settings > Devices > Profiles. Look for the Map Viewer profile — this is clear as it will show as a Map Viewer Display in the Type column. Select this profile Scroll down to the Map Viewer section and make sure the theme is set to Version 2. If the device is stuck on loading again after saving the changes, please reboot the unit. 6. A Working Example Below is a quick example of finding a route to a room, desk and a parking space that could be displayed on the Map Viewer on site: 7. Mobile App As of the 19th of January 2026, GoBright added their map routing solution on both Apple and Android devices that have their app installed. The GoBright app is available for free on both platforms. Just check out the relevant store for your device. GoBright have produced a demo on their website which you can find here.
