What is a Linked Space?
Linked spaces in IBSS is the term for bookable spaces that can "linked" together into a single booking. These spaces typically have foldable partitions, allowing the spaces to be laid out in multiple ways.
Finding a Linked Space
Spaces that can be linked to other spaces and have multiple space layout options will be shown with additional icons in the search results and space information pages. The "A/B" icon denotes that the space has multiple layout options available whilst the "Chain" icon denotes the space can be linked to other spaces.
The structured search pages in Roamer also provide the option to search for linked spaces.
Booking a Linked Space
When booking the linked space, additional sections are made available in the Booking Summary Page, enabling the user to select a specific combination of spaces. Depending on the combination selected, the user may also be provided with different space layout options.
When bookings are made with these options, they are also denoted in the "My Bookings" page to highlight which bookings have custom layouts or are linked space bookings.
