Enterprise Web Room Booking supports self-service with total control for users wishing to make or request ad-hoc room bookings.

• Make or request room bookings.
• Choose whether bookings are confirmed or provisional NEW
• Authorise what users can see and do (when used with Enterprise Authorisation Manager) NEW
• Book multiple rooms within a single booking NEW
• View the status of existing bookings.
• Cancel redundant bookings.

Authorisation allows you to determine whether users are allowed to make a booking immediately or whether they must register a request to be approved by another user. Each user may be authorised to book some locations while only requesting others.

The whole process of ad-hoc bookings can thus be dealt with on a self-serve basis. A configurable booking form allows you to ensure that bookers give all of the required information before they can request or secure a booking, dramatically reducing the time spent administering the process. Email notifications on receipt of a request, confirmation of a booking and cancellation are sent automatically. The notifier can be configured to send emails to multiple addresses (e.g. send to the requester and Cc to the department that owns the room).

“WRB 2.0 gives autonomy to users in terms of searching room availability and booking suitable space for meetings, conference and other ad hoc activities. Coupled with Authorisation Manager, WRB 2.0 becomes a powerful tool which gives even greater empowerment to users as well as cutting down and streamlining the workload for Timetablers who use Course Planner. ” (Julie Lane - University Timetabling Management Services Manager, Sheffield Hallam University).
