How Do I Analyze Me vs We Spaces on Connect?

  • Updated

In our article Do We Have the Right Amount of Office Space?, we explain the difference between Me spaces and We spaces. Understanding this distinction is essential, as each serves a different purpose.

  • Me spaces are designed for focused, individual work—such as desks or single-person phone booths.

  • We spaces support collaboration and teamwork—like huddle rooms or open collaboration areas.

 

Analyzing Me and We Spaces in Connect

Because Me and We spaces serve different goals, they raise different questions. It's best to analyze them separately in the Connect application.

Using R-Zero Tags

Tags in Connect are used to identify and label space types. Sensors themselves don’t “know” what space they are in—tags like “conference room” give them context and make them filterable on the dashboard.

To analyze Me spaces you can use the filter in two ways:

  1. Filter by: Capacity
  2. Select: Capacity: 1
  3. Apply additional time filters (Optional) 
  4. Click Update

Note: Using the capacity tag group helps identify any space meant for one person, regardless of space type.

 

 
💡 Tip If you plan to monitor this filter combination frequently, save it and give it a name—for example: “Me Spaces - T-TH Biweekly View”

 

 

WE SPACE

You can also filter for We spaces in two ways:

Option 1: by Space type

  3. (Optional) Apply additional time filters
  4. Click Update

 

💡 Tip Separate open vs. closed spaces (like conference rooms) to compare utilization trends and discover which one your employees enjoy more. 

 

Option 2: by Capacity

  1. Filter by:  Capacity
  2. Select: 5, 6, 7, 8, etc.
  3. (Optional) Apply additional time filters
  4. Click Update

 

💡 Tip The capacity filter lets you group and analyze small, medium, or large rooms based on seat count. This helps when comparing utilization by room size.

 

 

Summary

Understanding how Me and We spaces are used helps you make informed decisions about space planning. Using the Connect app’s filters—by space type or capacity—allows you to isolate and compare these spaces effectively. For frequent analysis, save your filter combinations to streamline your workflow and gain deeper insight into how your spaces are being used.
