New Booking Rules & Enhanced Flexibility in Officebooking!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We\u2019re excited to roll out some powerful updates to our booking rules\u2014giving you even more control over how your spaces and resources are managed.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s New?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Asset-Specific Booking Windows<\/strong>
You can now override user group rules on a per-asset basis.
Example: While the default for regular users may be to book up to 14 days in advance, a specific room can now be made available for a shorter or longer time range.<\/p>\n

Reservation Time Quotas<\/strong>
Limit how much time a user can book over a given period.
For instance, you can now set a rule where users may reserve a maximum of 12 hours per week\u2014encouraging fair and balanced usage of shared spaces.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Booking Rules Recap<\/strong><\/h3>\n

User Group Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Maximum days in advance<\/strong> \u2013 how far ahead bookings can be made.<\/li>\n
  • Maximum duration per reservation<\/strong> \u2013 limits the length of a single booking.<\/li>\n
  • Maximum number of reservations per week<\/strong> \u2013 controls how many bookings can be made per user.<\/li>\n
  • Maximum concurrent reservations<\/strong> \u2013 restricts how many reservations a user can hold at the same time.<\/li>\n
  • Check-in restrictions<\/strong> \u2013 users can only check in to their own bookings or those where they are invited.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Asset-Level Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Maximum days in advance<\/strong> \u2013 set custom booking windows per asset.<\/li>\n
    • Minimum number of attendants<\/strong> \u2013 enforce a required minimum for group reservations.<\/li>\n
    • Default booking as request<\/strong> \u2013 configure assets to require approval before confirming bookings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
      <\/div><\/div>

      Coming Soon (Beta)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      We\u2019re currently testing even more advanced booking rules, including:<\/p>\n

      Conditional Booking Requests<\/strong>
      Set custom rules\u2014e.g., if a reservation has more than a specified number of attendants, it automatically becomes a request requiring approval.<\/p>\n

      User Group Quotas by Time Period<\/strong>
      Define total allowable booking time per group over a set period (e.g., 12 hours per week or 40 hours per month).<\/p>\n<\/div>

      <\/i><\/span>

      IMPORTANT NOTE<\/span><\/p>\n

      Keep in mind that different booking rules may sometimes conflict. In general, rules set at the individual user or asset level will take priority over user group or global settings.<\/span>
      We recommend testing your configuration thoroughly to ensure it aligns with your organization\u2019s specific needs.<\/span><\/p><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":84298,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[387,292,404],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-84250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-knowledge","category-technology","category-updates"],"yoast_head":"\nNew Booking Rules -
