The Workstation Bookings module provides the following functions:
Workstation Bookings access security functions
This module requires additional fields in the People Manager tables rm_zone and em_schedule.
Workstation Bookings allocates people to room zones with rm_zone.bookable set to true. These are created using People Manager, which does not show allocations to them.
The Map Enquiry advanced room zones dialog (see access function MapRoomZoneDialogAdvanced) is not shown for bookable zones.
Searching for people in Space Manager and Map Enquiry will find people who are in bookable zones at current time.
Because bookings can be for multiple people, bookable room zones should generally cover whole rooms, or major areas of them, to maximise their availablity for group bookings.
This module requires a map icon named Book.gif in the DataFolderMapIcon folder, to identify room zones with booking space on floor plans..
In addition to configuration settings, the following files in the custom folder are accessed:
