Select a meeting space

After you have entered your requirements in Find a room, a list of available meeting spaces is displayed along with a Book Now or Request button.

Book now or request
  • The Book Now button is shown when meeting spaces can be booked immediately without approval from an administrator
  • The Request button is shown when requests for meeting space must be approved by an administrator before they are confirmed. A provisional booking is added to the appointment.
Meeting space information

To see more information about the meeting space, click the blue ‘i’ icon to the left of the name.

Meeting space setup

You can view available setup options (room layouts) in the Setup drop-down. If the default meeting space configuration does not cater to the number of attendees in your meeting invitation, it will automatically select a setup option that does. You can adjust the meeting space setup option now, or you can do it directly on the booking form in the next step.

Note: changing the meeting space setup option may add setup or clean-down times to your booking.

Finalize the booking

When you have selected your meeting space, the Booking Form is displayed. From this page, you can add the rest of your meeting details, add services, or more meeting spaces. Attendees are automatically added to the Attendees tab. Learn more about the meeting space booking form

After you have completed all the required details, click Book or Request. You must then Save your appointment or Send the invitation if your meeting has attendees.
