How to Use the Room Booking Webpart

Use the Room Booking web part to quickly see rooms which are available and be able to book them out.

1. When you first go to the page that has this webpart, you will see a diagram with interactable areas like so:
roombooking-use-1

 

- If there are multiple diagrams available, in the top left you will see a dropdown menu where you can select the different diagrams
- Above the diagram, you can flick through different dates
- In the top right you have different view options:

    -  resourcebooking-use-3  shows the diagram view
    -  resourcebooking-use-4  shows a list view and the desk status


In the diagram view, if you hover over a bookable room, it will darken slightly. Clicking on it will show the availability of the room for the selected date:
roombooking-use-2


To create a booking, click on the space at the time you want your meeting to start. You will then see these options:
roombooking-use-3

- End Date
- End Time
- Event Title: when the booking is placed, it creates a calendar appointment in the associated room mailbox. This sets the title of that calendar appointment
- Location
- Create Teams Meeting: turns the calendar appointment into a Teams meeting
- Attendees: people set here will be included on the calendar appointment

When ready, click Create to complete the booking. It will then send out a calendar appointment to the mailbox associated with the room, as well as anyone added as an attendee. You will also see a message like this to confirm the booking has been created:
roombooking-use-4

 

The list view shows all of the available rooms in a list rather than on a diagram, and gives a high-level overview of the room's availability for the day. Select the room you want to book for, and the rest of the process is the same as above:
