Booking periods
When booking a meeting space or personal space, the bookable period depends on the type of space and the rules applied to the group that manages the space. In addition, your organization might have applied business hours to restrict spaces from being booked outside of specific times and/or at weekends, and set an advance booking period to limit how far in advance a space can be booked. Read on to learn more about the settings that might affect how and when you can book spaces.
Booking periods for meeting spaces
Booking periods for meeting spaces are defined by the group that manages the spaces. The following options can be allowed or limited by the group settings:
- Booking increments: Meeting spaces can be booked in either 5, 15, 30, 60, or 120-minute increments, depending on the default booking period set for the group.
- Business hours: The start and end times of meeting space bookings must be within the business hours set for the group.
- Advanced bookings: Booking a meeting space in advance might be limited to a maximum number of days/weeks in the future.
- Single-day bookings only: You might not be able to make a meeting space booking that spans across multiple days.

Booking periods for personal spaces
