Managing requests for meeting space bookings

Authorizers and approvers of managed groups see the Requests page displayed in the Meeting space menu. Authorizers and Approvers can approve, reject, and/or change all details of a requested booking.

Good to know

  • For multi-room bookings, Accept / Reject options only appear for pending bookings. i.e. if one booking is confirmed and another is pending, the Accept / Reject button will appear for the pending booking only.
  • Only requests that are pending approval are listed on the Request page.
  • Self-managed rooms do not require approval and therefore do not appear in Requests.
  • If you work as part of a group administrator team, all requests are seen by all members of the team.
  • Requests do not generate email notifications.
  • We recommend keeping Condeco minimized and periodically checking the number of requests awaiting approval.
