Directory view allows you to show a list of spaces and their real-time occupancy for users to make decisions based on current availability. The display shows current occupancy numbers, percentage full based on set capacity, and a stoplight color system to quickly find the most active spaces. Colors indicate:
Green - least amount of foot traffic in the last 15 minutes
Yellow - more foot traffic than green, and less foot traffic than red
Red - greatest amount of foot traffic in the last 15 minutes
