Meeting space resources

A meeting space is any space where people collaborate, for example, a meeting room, a huddle space, a board room, or a training room. Each individual meeting space resource must be assigned to a group to manage the booking rules and permissions and can be assigned a workspace type and have attributes set, to help your users find the best meeting space to suit their requirements. Meeting spaces can be booked in five-minute increments.

Create meeting space resources for multiple occupancy spaces and when you want to offer booking time slots of 5 minutes (or more).
