Creating a booking for right now
To book a space for as son as possible on the Advanced page, complete the following three steps.
Step 1. Define your search
- Check if the defaults are correct in the first three sections:
- Who are you booking for?
- Where do you want to book?
- What space do you want to book?
- Select the As soon as possible checkbox in the When do you want to book? section.
- Add the end time in the To field.
- Click Any additional requirements? to browse other options for the selected space type. Select from what's available, for example: linked spaces, events, AV, catering, hearing aids, resources (presentation aids), or spaces that allow conducting events (the Need Events? toggle).
- Click Search.
Step 2. Choose your space
- Select a space from the search results.
ℹ️ Check the associated booking policy, space information, or space guide.
ℹ️ You can view search results in a list format or in map view. The default view is as set on your preferences under Settings:- 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. Switch between floors using the drop-down below the map.
- In list view, you will see all spaces that are available for at least one occurrence that you're searching for.
- Click Continue to move to the next step.
Step 3. Finalise your booking details
- (mandatory) Add a Booking Name.
- (optional) Add a Booking Description.
- (optional) Indicate Planned In-Person Attendance for the operational team to plan space and visitor management support accordingly.
- (optional) Indicate one or more Cost Codes if your organisation is using them. You have the following options:
- Depending on your organisation's configuration, you can either enter cost codes manually or select them from a list.
- Edit the default ones if you are booking for yourself.
- Check the cost codes of the person that you book for if you are booking for another person.
- Learn more about this here: Cost Codes in Workspace.
- Click Confirm your 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.
Now, you are all set and can view your booking under My Bookings.
Your booking will be synchronised across all applications in the IBSS solution. This means it will be available for amendments or cancellation in Workspace and Roamer X, and available for check-in on tablets with Unity and Inspire applications, depending on what IBSS apps your organisation is using.
