You can create here a simple space booking for a single use, but we recommend creating such bookings with no distraction on the Single Booking page in Flex. Read more here: Single booking in Flex.

When creating a single booking, date selection by the system has the following logic:

• If current time is before start time of working day preferences, the date is set for today. Read more about working day preferences here: Settings in Flex 
• If current time is after start time of working day preferences, the date is set for the next day.

In any case, you can change the date manually.

You can book a space for the nearest time. For this:

1. Turn on the As soon as possible toggle.
   

2. Add duration (To).
3. Edit location (Building, Floor, Zone), Space Type if needed, and indicate Capacity if you need a meeting room.
4. Click Show more search items to indicate other space features that you'll need: linked spaces, AV, Catering, Hearing Aids, Resources (presentation aids).
   Note: Equipment and catering are available to book at least 24 hours in advance and are available for meeting room bookings only. Hence, services are not available for ASAP bookings.
5. Click Search.
6. Select a space from the search results in the middle column of the page.
   Check the associated booking policy, space information, or space guide on top of the third column.
   
7. Add booking name (mandatory) and a description.
8. (optional) Indicate if you Book for Someone Else: an employee or a visitor. For employee, you can select the checkbox to use their default cost codes if they have set any.
9. (optional) Add Attendees if applicable. Mark the ones who are external visitors.
10. (optional) Indicate one or more Cost Codes if your organisation is using them:
    • Add cost codes in free text or by selecting them from a list.
    • Edit the default ones if you are booking for yourself. Read the Default Cost Codes section in this article: Settings in Flex.
    • Check the cost codes of the person that you book for if you selected to use their default cost codes in the previous step.
11. Click Confirm booking.

Note: There're booking policies enforced for each space within your organisation. They can limit the time for booking start to be, for example, at the exact hour or each half an hour. Because of this, booking for right now may be unsuccessful if, for example, your current time is 9:47. In this case, turn off the As soon as possible toggle and adjust timing for your booking to match booking policy requirements.

For the recurrent events as regular work or meetings, Flex helps your finding and booking the appropriate space. 

To create a series of recurring bookings, do the following:

1. Select the Recurring button along with indicating other relevant search criteria.
   
2. Select the date and time of your first booking in the series.
3. Select the recurrence pattern: daily, weekly, or monthly.
4. Select other options for your series of bookings depending on the recurrence pattern.
5. (optional) Click Show more search options if you need to make multiple bookings of linked spaces or need services.
6. Click Search to view the list of spaces that can be booked with this recurrence pattern. You can view search results in list or map view, depending on your preferences set under Settings > Workplace Preferences > SEARCH RESULTS:
   • In map view, available spaces that you can book will be highlighted in green and the ones that are not available for any of the occurrence are highlighted in navy colour.
     Note: If there are no spaces that match your search criteria or you're searching across multiple floors, the map view will be disabled.
   • In list view, you will see all spaces that are available for at least one occurrence that you're searching for.
7. Select a space that fits the most. Check its associated booking policy, space information, and relevant space guides if available.
8. Add details to your booking.
   
9. Add alternative spaces if needed. You may occasionally see that for one or more of your occurrences your ideal space isn't available. Flex allows you to pick an alternative space for those specific occurrences, rather than have to start your search again. In such case, you will see an Alternative button next to the occurrence that needs your attention. To choose an alternative location:
   1. Click Alternative to open the list of available spaces according to your initial search criteria.
   2. Select the space that you would like to use and click Use Space Selected.
