We are thrilled to announce the release of the redesigned Taitori app – Taitori

Welcome to discover the redesigned interface of Taitori

With the new version of Taitori you can now effortlessly access all your preferred booking methods on one page. All your favorite rooms, workstations and product catalogs are right at your fingertips, making it easier than ever to find what you need. We've made a number of improvements and updated the underlying technologies to ensure a worry-free service for the future. These changes are based on your valuable feedback, so thank you very much for your input!

You can start using the new app at the temporary address https://newapp.taitori.fi. To allow our users to familiarize themselves with the new interface, both the old and new versions will be available simultaneously at first. The updated Taitori interface will completely replace the older version at the familiar https://app.taitori.fi address on the 1st of September 2024.

Due to the phased rollout and since the redesigned Taitori is currently at a temporary address, Taitori Outlook extension (add-in) is not yet available with the new interface. Taitori downloaded from the app store will still open automatically to the older version, but you can access the new version through the profile icon.

Using SSO to log in?

To allow SSO-login users to try out the redesigned app, SSO login needs to be specifically allowed also for the temporary address by your Microsoft Azure system administrator. Read more.

At the end of this article, you'll find answers to frequently asked questions as well as a link to a more detailed presentation and instructions for the new interface.

Introducing the new home page

We've created a new homepage (Browse) in the app that combines all of Taitori's favorite booking methods onto one page, allowing for seamless transitions between different browsing views. Additionally, sales points such as catering services are now found on the same page.

New homepage in a nutshell

On the new Browse page, users can easily select the type of view for browsing resources with just one click. Options include grid (default), map, floor plan, timeline, and calendar. The calendar is a completely new view, allowing users to view a day or week calendar for individual spaces.
Spaces can be searched based on a more specific location for a certain time using search filters, or resources can be browsed without selecting a specific time or location. In this case, the filters display options like Any place, Any day, and Any time.
Quick selections help finding a suitable space or sales list, allowing users to quickly filter search results from favorites or by space type, for example. Multiple quick selections can be used simultaneously, meaning users can, for instance, select Favorites and Desks, displaying only the desks marked as favorites. Quick selections can be disabled by clicking the button again.
Sales catalogs for product orders can be conveniently found by activating the quick selection for Shops or Restaurants.
Different locations can be quickly accessed using the map view.
Set favorites using the heart icon.

Other changes introduced by the update

The navigation bar will now be located at the top on wider screens and at the bottom of the page on narrower screens.
Detailed information about a bookable resource and the quick booking actions can be found by clicking on the space in the grid or floor plan, and then selecting Quick actions. Users can reserve the space from the timeline as usual or by clicking Calendar to view the space's calendar.
Personal information, language selection, and info and feedback pages will now be accessible from the top right corner via the profile icon.
Users can set their default homepage from their settings on the Preferences tab.
The team view and planning tool for team functionality have been combined onto a single page.
Information about office spaces (e.g., opening hours) can be accessed by clicking on the space in the grid or floor plan, and then clicking on the space's name in the top left corner. It's recommended to add your own office space to favorites using the heart icon.

Frequently Asked Questions about the update

How do I switch to using the new Taitori?

You can switch to the new Taitori on the browser or mobile app by clicking on your profile picture and then selecting "New Taitori," or by visiting https://newapp.taitori.fi. Your credentials remain the same on the new platform. If your organization uses Single Sign-On (SSO) for login, successful login to the new platform may require action from your organization's administrator.

Our organization uses Single Sign-On (SSO). How do we get access to the updated Taitori?

As the updated Taitori initially operates at a temporary address, SSO login needs to be specifically enabled for https://newapp.taitori.fi by your organization's Microsoft Azure system administrator. After this setup, users can log in normally with their organizational credentials.

Note for the Microsoft Azure system administrator: The URL https://newapp.taitori.fi must be added to the Redirect list in the same format as https://app.taitori.fi. When the temporary URL has been added to the list, the connection can be tested at https://newapp.taitori.fi/account/adfs/customerid. Do not hesitate to contact Taitori support if needed.

Does the new application work with Outlook?

The updated interface is not yet available with the Outlook extension (add-in), but it will permanently replace the old interface on Outlook later in the 2024. For now, you can continue using the old version as usual. However, it's recommended to start familiarizing yourself with the new interface via the browser or mobile app at https://newapp.taitori.fi.

I use Taitori downloaded from the app store. How can I explore the new interface?

Due to the phased rollout, Taitori downloaded from the app store will still open automatically to the older version. However, you can explore the new interface by accessing it through the profile icon.

When will the new interface replace the old one permanently?

To allow users time to familiarize themselves with the new interface, both versions will be available concurrently at first. The updated Taitori interface will replace the older version permanently on the 1st of September 2024 at the familiar https://app.taitori.fi address, as well as in the Taitori Smart Office Outlook extension (add-in). The temporary address https://newapp.taitori.fi will be discontinued at that time.

Where can I find instructions for the new interface?

You can find instructions for the updated interface for both the browser and mobile versions here. Additionally, the Guide button within the app and Taitori customer support are available to assist users. If you require additional guidance or wish to have separate training for Taitori, please contact Taitori customer support via email at support@taitori.fi.

**I use a customer-specific address (eg. customername.taitori.fi), how does this affect me?**

If you want to try or start using the new Taitori app, you can do so at the temporary address https://newapp.taitori.fi. Note that users that use SSO login must wait that their organization's Azure administrator allows SSO login for the temporary address. The customer-specific address will direct you to the older version up until it is permanently replaced by the new version on the 1st of September 2024.

I couldn't find answer to my question. How can I get more information?

You can contact Taitori customer service at support@taitori.fi or utilize Taitori application's Support Chat which can be found behind the Guide button.
