Overview
The desk occupancy system tracks how your desks are being used through two types of memberships:
Time-Based Memberships: Members have continuous access during their membership period
Entry-Based Memberships: Members book individual entries from their available quota
Viewing Occupancy
Navigate to Desks in your dashboard
Use the calendar to select different dates
Each desk card shows:
Current occupancy (number of active members/total capacity)
Capacity progress bar with color-coded status
List of current occupants grouped by membership type
Real-time availability status
Calendar Features
The desk calendar provides visual indicators for better planning:
Blocked Dates: Shown with red background and strike-through text
Selected Date: Highlighted in blue for easy identification
Navigation: Click any date to view occupancy for that specific day

Entry-Based Members
