 EY My Day

Introduction
Welcome to the EY My Day App. The EY My Day App delivers a digitally interactive workplace
experience to EY staff, contractors, vendors and staff visitors working in an EY building.

The app uses smart technology installed throughout the building to enable employees to closely
interact with their working environment, utilise building & FM services with ease and view the
environment conditions in various parts of the building.

The key features available within the app are:

• Way finding to points of interests in a building
• Find a workplace to meet your location and environmental preferences
• Book a desk and keep track of your current bookings
• Find a team colleague also working in the same building
• Book meeting rooms which includes an extremely useful ‘Find a Room Now’ now feature
• Order food & beverage for collection (where available)
• Log FM support tickets and interact with a chat bot to get support

Location and Notification Services

Many features within the EY My Day app deliver an enhanced experienced by being location aware.
By knowing exactly where somebody is in the building, the app can deliver contextual based services
and notifications to employees even if the app is running in the background. For example, if an
employee walks into a meeting room that they have booked, the app will detect this and
automatically prompt the user to check-in. However, if the employee doesn’t have the room
booked, the app can prompt the user to book it if available.

To take advantage of these features, Location Services, Bluetooth and Notifications need to be
enabled on the user’s device. When you first start using EY My Day you will be asked to “Allow”
access to these services. For Location Services it is important to select “Always” when prompted as
this enables the app to provide these features even when it’s minimised and running in the
background. On iPhones running iOS13 or later, you will be asked every few days if you wish to
continue allowing this access. When you see this message, please select the option to continue
allowing access.

It’s important to note that your location is only used to provide location-based features. Your
location is not being stored indefinitely or tracked as you travel around the building.

The Indoor Positioning Solution installed in each EY building works using Bluetooth so it’s also
important to ensure Bluetooth is turned on and any request for access is accepted.

Finally, the EY My Day App will raise notifications to advise you of available services in your area or
notify you if a colleague is trying to connect with you. Please ensure you turn on notifications for the
app so that you don’t miss an important notification.

Process for support

As a user your first point of call for help is a local Workplace Coordinator in the building who has
been trained to provide you with app support and guidance.

If an issue cannot be resolved locally the Workplace Coordinator, they will be able to raise the issue
on your behalf with the app’s technical support team.

 EY My Day

The app will ask you if you’d like to enable finger print or facial recognition authentication (where
available). Agreeing to this will avoid you having to login using your email and password every time
and is therefore recommended for all users.

When you enter the app for the first time you’ll be asked to give permission to enable Bluetooth and
Location services ion your device. This is needed to

The next time you open the app the app will either display the login screen and require you to enter
your username and password, trigger the facial recognition check and automatically log you in or
prompt for finger print authentication. This will be dependent on how you configured your app
when you registered and the features available on your device.

If you’re having problems registering or logging in then please check the FAQs section at
the end of this document.

1.3 HOME DASHBOARD

The Home Dashboard screen is the main landing that
provides access to the modules and features within the app.

When you access the Home Dashboard, the app will try to
determine if you are currently within an EY building. This is
done using an indoor positioning system that has been
installed in all EY sites. If the app is able to detect your
location, the main dashboard image at the top of the screen
and the name of the building will automatically change to
reflect the building you’re in. If you’re outside of a building,
don’t have location services enabled and/or have Bluetooth
disabled, the app will not place you in a building and
therefore a default building and dashboard image will be
displayed.

You can return to the main dashboard at any time by

selecting the ‘Home’ option at the bottom of the screen.

10
 EY My Day

Access to Modules can also be accessed by selecting the

hamburger menu in the top left-hand corner of the screen.

The hamburger menu also provides access to the ‘About’

page which contains the current version number, licencing
information for the app, link to the Privacy Policy and End
User Licence Agreement (EULA), email address that can be
used to submit feedback and an option to disable location
services:

1.4 WAY FINDER

The Way Finder module provides access to a digital view of

your building. You can search, locate and navigate to
different places of interest in the building such as meeting
rooms, breakout spaces, washrooms, food & beverage
outlets etc.

Using an indoor positioning solution installed in all EY

buildings, this module will automatically detect your current
location and display this as a blue dot on a floor plan. When
you search or filter for a place of interest, the app will display
all matching spaces and calculate how long it would take you
to walk to them.

There is also an option to ‘GO’ that when selected will plot a

route from your current location to that space and activates
the navigation feature. The navigation feature is similar to an
in car sat nav that orientates the map so that your direction
of travel is ahead of you and tracks your location as you’re
moving.

11
 EY My Day

You can use the Way Finder module to search and navigate to
the following points of interest:

• Break area
• Restaurant
• Collaboration space
• Colleague
• Female washroom
• Male washroom
• Inclusive washroom
• Meeting room
• Office service centre
• Workplace

The Way Finder module will display routes to spaces on

different floors by navigating to/from the closest stairway.
When using the navigation feature, the first part of the route
will guide you to the stairway on your current floor and then
when you reach the correct floor, it will guide you from the
stairway to your selected POI.

1.4.1 FIND A COLLEAGUE

The Find a Colleague option enables you to send a request to another EY employee asking them to
disclose their current location so that you can find and navigate to them. This process is entirely
consensual meaning the colleague has to provide consent for their location to be shared. The
process works as follows:

• User selects the ‘Colleague’ icon in the Way Finder module (note that you must select the
Colleague option for this feature to work).
• User searches for a colleague by entering at least 4 characters of their name (note the
search will not initiate until at least 4 characters have been entered). Only employees who
are currently in the building or were detected as being in the building that day are displayed
in the list.
• User selects the colleague they want to connect with a sends them a request to share their
location.
• Colleague receives a push notification informing them of the request and taps on it.
• App opens and displays a screen asking the colleague to approve the request.
• Colleague approves the request and another push notification is sent to the requestor’s
device.
• Requestor receives the push notification and taps on it.
• The app opens up, automatically takes the user to the Way Finder module and displays the
location of the colleague together with a route from the user’s current location.

Important: The Find a Colleague feature only works if both users have enabled location
services and push notifications for the app.

Important: The EY My Day app does not track your location or store this indefinitely.
Your last known location is stored for the current day only to support the ‘Find a
Colleague’ feature and is cleared at the end of every day.

 EY My Day

If you’re having problems using the Way Finder module then please check the FAQs
section at the end of this document.

1.5 Find a workspace

The Find a Workspace module is used to help you find the perfect desk for you. If
bookability is applicable to your building then you’ll be able to book a work station. You
start your search for an available desk by selecting the building and floor, the indoor
positioning should automatically populate this for you.

The app will use your search criteria to find matching desks and present these on a floor
plan using the following colours:

Bookability:

• Grey: Unknown as there is no data for that desk

• Yellow: Bookable
• White: Non bookable

Occupancy:

• Red: Occupied
• Green: Vacant

13
 EY My Day

• Orange: Potentially Vacant (i.e. the desk is currently free but motion was
detected recently)

You have the option to show bookability, occupancy status or both depending on your
needs. You can tap on any desk to see the details on whether it’s bookable and how long
for, its current occupancy status as well as its current environment conditions
(temperature, noise level and busyness).
Upon selecting a bookable desk, you can choose the start and end date and time, you
then can proceed to book it providing it’s vacant. You will receive confirmation and your
booking will automatically appear in ‘My bookings’.

If you’re having problems using the Find a Workspace module then please
check the FAQs section at the end of this document.

1.6 MEETING ROOM

EY My Day is fully integrated into the existing EY ERS Global room booking platform ERS. Room
bookings made using the My Day app will be immediately reflected in the ERS system and meeting
room panels and vice versa.

When you access the Meeting Room

module, any future bookings you’ve
already made will be displayed in a list.

From this screen you can either select a

booking to access the reservation details
or select the 3-dot menu to the right of the
reservation name to access the following
quick select options:

• Edit Booking
• Cancel Booking

Selecting a booking will display full

reservation details, actual meeting room
image and the location of meeting room
on a floor plan. You can select options to
either edit the booking or cancel it
altogether.

14
 EY My Day

Selecting the large + icon at the bottom of

the My Bookings screen will start a new
booking.

A number of search options are available:

• Building
• Floor
• Room type
• Meeting length
• Date
• Start/end time
• Number of attendees

Available rooms are presented in a list

after initiating the search. Clicking on any
of these displays a meeting room image,
list of amenities, location on floor plan and
the option to reserve the room.

The meeting room module has a number of intelligent features to maximise meeting room
utilisation. The ‘Find a Room Now’ feature uses sensors in the meeting rooms to detect occupancy
and the app will display rooms that are booked but unoccupied giving users with the option to
occupy these when no other rooms are available. Rooms are displayed based on how close they are
to your proximity reducing the amount of time you spend walking around the building.

Using location services, the app will detect if you walk into a meeting room that you’ve booked and
will automatically prompt you to check-in helping you avoid the risk of the room being automatically
released. If you walk into a meeting room that you don’t have booked but it is free, the app will
automatically notify you that the room is available and give the option to book it.

If you’re having problems using the Meeting Room module then please check the FAQs
section at the end of this document.

1.7 FOOD & BEVERAGE

The Food & Beverage module provides
three key features:

• View today’s restaurant menus and

access other information from the
catering microsite such as seasonal
menus, offers, hospitality menus etc.
• Place a food and beverage order for
collection from one of the restaurant
outlets
• View existing orders you’ve placed that
are yet to be collected

To use the food ordering service, you need

to set up an account in the catering system
and register a payment card. This can be
done directly in the app or via a standard
web browser. If you to try to start a new
order and don’t have an account in the
catering system, you will be automatically
directed to create one.

Once you’ve successfully created an account in the catering system, this will be automatically linked
to your user profile and you can start placing orders. The process of creating a new order is as
follows:

1. Select the restaurant that you want to collect your order from and the collection time.
2. Select a menu and add items to your shopping cart.
3. When you’ve finished selecting your items, click on the cart option to review the contents.
4. Once you’ve verified the contents of your cart, select the option to complete payment.
5. Select the payment card you linked to your catering account and select the option to place
your order.
6. Await confirmation that your order has been successfully placed.

16
 EY My Day

Once you’ve placed

an order it will be
listed in the ‘My
Orders’ screen.

When collecting your

food you must select
the relevant order
from this screen as
this will display the
QR code that the
catering team will
need to fulfil your
order.

1.8 ENVIRONMENT
The Environment module provides a
real-time view of the environmental
conditions in the building. Sensors
installed throughout the building
are constantly monitoring the
internal environment enabling users
to see:

• Temperature
• Humidity
• Noise
• Occupancy

Users can either select to see

average readings for an entire floor
or select a specific area such as a
meeting room, break out space etc.

Note: Not all areas of the building

have sensors installed and therefore
certain locations may not display
any readings.

If you’re having problems using the Environment module then please check the FAQs
section at the end of this document.

1.9 REQUESTS
The Requests module is used to raise FM requests relating the building and your working
environment. This module provides the following key features:

• View status or requests previously raised

• View open requests for areas/locations nearby that were raised by other employees
• Raise a new request
• Interact with a chat bot to get help with an issue

The Nearby Requests feature is useful for checking if an issue you’ve identified has already been
reported by another employee to avoid you creating a duplicate request.

Because the app is location aware, it will automatically select the location closest to you when
raising a request to avoid you having to set this manually.

If you’re having problems using the Requests module then please check the FAQs
section at the end of this document.
