Admins can now configure which offices require check-in confirmations. This can be managed under Settings → Notifications, giving admins control over where check-ins must be confirmed to improve office attendance trackin

PULT now automates meeting room check-ins using presence data or manual confirmations. If attendees don’t show up within a set grace period, the system automatically releases the room so others can book it. This update helps reduce wasted space, improves room availability, and ensures meeting rooms are used more efficiently.

Here are the highlights:

• Attendance is auto-checked based on configured rules like presence threshold, check times, meeting duration, and reminders.
• Manual confirmation is supported, allowing organisers to confirm via Slack, Teams, or Google Chat.
• Only the room booking is removed, never the meeting itself.
• Rooms are automatically freed if the meeting stays unconfirmed and attendance never meets the required threshold.

Restrictions for this feature can be configured in the Meeting Room Confirmation Settings. Full setup details are available in the PULT Help Center. We’d love to hear your feedback on this new feature!

We’ve added a powerful new heatmap to Office Insights, giving users a clear, visual understanding of how desks are being used across the office. When an office is selected, its floorplan now highlights each desk in varying shades of red, indicating how frequently it was booked during the chosen date range. A colour legend helps users quickly interpret utilisation levels at a glance.

Users can also hover over or click any desk to see detailed insights, including its usage percentage, number of booked days, and the exact date range—calculated using working days only. The heatmap automatically updates whenever the main date filter is adjusted.”

We’ve released a major update to the PULT Dashboard Home page, delivering a clearer, more actionable overview for administrators. This update introduces several new visualisations and improvements designed to streamline daily monitoring and decision-making.

✨ What’s New

1. Office Bookings vs. Attendance Today

• A revamped graph now displays today’s office bookings, presence detection/Check-ins, and absences (vacation or sick leave) sourced from your integrated HRIS.
• Hover interactions reveal exact numbers for each data point.

2. Visitors Overview

• A new Visitors section summarises:
  • Visitors arriving today
  • Expected visitors this week
• Includes a fast-action option to check in the next arriving visitor.

3. Meeting Rooms & Catering

• Meeting Rooms
  • Shows the number of pending suggestions from the scheduling agent.
  • Includes a quick-access button to navigate directly to the scheduling page.
  • If no catering data is available, the next pending suggestion is displayed here.
• Catering
  • Displays how many meetings require catering today and this week.
  • Includes a shortcut button to the catering management page.

4. Weekly Bookings Graph

• Provides a clear weekly breakdown of:
  • Bookings + actual check-ins for past days
  • Default + planned bookings for upcoming days
• Hovering shows exact values and office capacity for better context.

5. Active Announcements

• Highlights currently active emergency or general announcements.
• If none are active, upcoming announcements are displayed instead.
• Includes a button linking to the announcements management page.

Familiar Tables

• The bottom of the page includes the:
  • Office Usage Today table
  • Usage Details Today table
• These continue to provide employee-level insights on bookings and attendance.

We’ve added a new indicator to the calendar to make it easier to see when a check-in occurred on a specific day:

• Check-In Detection
  The calendar now displays an indicator whenever a check-in—manual or presence-based—has been recorded for that day.
• Timestamp Visibility
  Hovering or clicking on the day in the calendar will show the exact timestamp of the check-in.

We’ve introduced several new features to the Presence Average Attendance graph to improve usability and ensure data is shown appropriately based on permissions:

1. Custom Timeframes
   Users can now select custom timeframes for viewing average attendance.
2. Team Average Attendance Display
   When filtering by team, the graph now shows the team’s average attendance for better group-level insights.
3. Permission-Based Employee Visibility
   If permissions restrict access to individual employee data, the graph will automatically hide individual average attendance and display only the team average.
4. Location Filter Added
   You can now filter the graph by location, allowing clearer comparison across different sites.

1. Custom Timeframes

2. Team Average Attendance Display

3. Permission-Based Employee Visibility

4. Location Filter Added

You can now connect a TV in your office to display live seating information for everyone—perfect for entrances, lobbies, or team areas.

Auto-Refresh Mode:
The Pult web app now supports an easy auto-refresh feature that you can enable directly through the URL.

To activate it, simply add a refresh interval (in seconds) to this Pult URL:
https://app.pult.com/?refreshInterval=10
Replace 10 with any number of seconds you prefer. The page will then automatically refresh at that interval—ideal for continuously updated TV displays.

Smart Date Updates:
The selected date in the web app will now automatically adjust when:

• The day changes (e.g., at midnight)
• Your system date changes

This ensures your TV display and browser views always stay accurate and up-to-date.

We’ve introduced improvements to Device Authentication, offering an additional option for validating Presence data.
The PULT Agent can now be installed directly on company laptops, allowing Presence to be tracked securely through the device itself.

💡 Why this matters

Performing this verification step helps you identify unauthorised devices, detect anomalies, and reduce potential security risks.

🚨 Security Notice

Please note that certain device details — including operating system, username, serial number, and location — can be spoofed and should not be fully relied upon.
Only the IP address is considered a reliable indicator.

Before approving any device authentication request, always verify:

• The request time
• The IP address
• That both match expected patterns and devices within your organisation
  

Team Leads now have limited access to the Presence Dashboard, focused exclusively on their own team.

What’s included in this limited view:

• See which team members are currently in the office according to Presence data.
• View Average office days / week for each team member.

This update allows Team Leads to view team presence and daily office activity without accessing information for other teams, providing a clear and focused overview of their own team’s presence data.

Users can now add not only individual users, but also entire teams or groups when creating Policy Groups.
Once a team or group is added, it will be removed from the dropdown to prevent duplicates, making setup faster and more efficient.

Users can now book parking spots for different time durations — choosing between:

• 🕐 Full day
• 🌅 First half of the day
• 🌇 Second half of the day

Parking bookings are now independent from desk bookings, providing greater flexibility and convenience when planning the workday.
