Written By Natalia Povrozniak (Administrator)

Roamer X adheres well to booking policies. For users, it means that available options are visually better distinguished, and a new time picker allows selecting available time slots only.

To book a space with Roamer X, search for the appropriate space first. There are several options for this:

  • Quick links or tiles on the home page
  • Map
  • Search for something else button
  • Search tab

Using Building KPI tiles on the home page

Building KPI tiles are at the top of Roamer X home page, below the building hero image.

To book from this view:

1 Select a tile to view available spaces of that type.  
2 Click one space to view or book it.
3 (optional) View the space schedule in case there are other bookings for the day.
4 In the Make a booking section, select time when you need this space to be booked.

You also can do the following here:

  1. View time until this space is available for the selected date
  2. View space information (building, capacity, floor)
    Also, see what space statuses may mean: Space states on space card in Roamer X 
  3. View space on map
  4. Change the date when you'd like to book
  5. View booking schedule
  6. Make a service request or view existing service requests in the space. Read more about making a service request here: Making Service Requests 
6 Click Create a booking to confirm your selection.  

Using the map

On the Home page, you can click the View building map button and start booking from there.

Also, if your search results view preference is set to map view, you'll be booking from map too.

After you've clicked the View building map button:

  1. (optional) Switch between the floors within the building.
  2. (optional) Use the filter icon in the top right corner of the screen to adjust you criteria for a space.
  3. Select an available space that you'd like to book. A status chip in the top right corner of the space card will tell you if the space can be booked.
  4. Tap Book Space if it's available and meets your criteria.

Using the Search for something else button

On home screen, tapping the Search for something else button brings you right to the Search tab within Roamer X. See the next section for details.

Using the Search tab

The Search tab is divided into two more tabs:

  • Search
  • Favourites

  1. Select whether you are searching for a space, colleague, or amenity.
    ⚠️ Your organisation may define other categories to start your search with.
  2. Select the space type that you'd like to book.
  3. Select the needed date and time. By default it is the today's date and nearest time to start the booking till the end of your preferred working day.
  4. Tap Next.
  5. Refine your search criteria for:
    1. Building (floor and zone)
    2. Space (capacity, noise level, temperature)
    3. Define Extras for meeting rooms: whether you need catering, AV equipment, or hearing aids.
  6. Tap See Results.
    In the top right corner, you can use filter to change between list and map views of the search results.
  7. Select the space that meets your requirements.
  8. Tap Create a booking.

Your booking is now created. Immediately, you'll see the Tailor your booking page to:

After you're done editing your booking, confirm with tapping Confirm booking.

Using the QR code scanning

Tap the Scan tab that is in the middle of all tabs in Roamer at the bottom of your screen.
