Swap two bookings


Administrators can swap the meeting spaces of two bookings directly from the booking grid. The bookings can be at different times but the meeting spaces must belong to the same group.

Bookings retain their original start time when the meeting spaces are swapped. 

How to swap the meeting spaces of two bookings

  1. Sign in to Condeco as an administrator.
  2. Navigate to Meeting spaces > Booking Grid.

The grid must be displayed in a day view to swap meeting spaces.

  1. Right-click the booking with the meeting space you want to swap and select Swap with… from the popup menu.

  1. Hover the mouse over another booking to see if its meeting space can be swapped with the selected meeting space. A booking with a meeting space that cannot be swapped will fade. Bookings with meeting spaces that can be swapped will darken and show a swap icon (two arrows pointing in opposite directions).

  1. The swapped meeting spaces are now validated to check that selected services are available in the alternative meeting spaces and the space configuration is available. Answer any queries that relate to the bookings.
  2. The two bookings swap meeting spaces on the grid.

FAQ

Which booking types cannot be swapped?
  • Bookings where the meeting space is not available for the entire period of the booking to swap.
  • Bookings that are part of a multi-space or videoconference, including linked-space bookings.
  • Bookings that are part of third-party integration including Skype for Business and Exchange Sync.
  • Bookings in different groups. You can only swap meeting spaces that are managed by the same group.
What happens if a meeting with a recurrence is swapped?

You can select an instance of a recurring booking and swap it with a single booking but only the selected instance of the recurrence is swapped. All other recurrences remain in the originally booked meeting space.

However, the swap cannot be performed the other way around – you cannot swap a single booking with a recurring booking.

Flag a booking with 'Don't Move'


Bookings can be marked as 'don't move' on the booking grid to flag that a booking should not be moved.

Flagging a meeting space booking as 'don't more' is useful when several administrators are managing bookings on the same booking grid. Meetings marked as ‘don’t move’ display a red border and an exclamation mark in the bookings icon bar.

To mark a booking as 'don't move' right-click the booking on the booking grid and select ! Mark 'Don't Move'

An administrator can still move meetings marked as ‘don’t move’.

  1. Navigate to Application Setup then Resources.
  2. If prompted, select a Country.
  3. Select Personal spaces or Meeting spaces for the Resource Type as appropriate.
