Methods for Reserving Meeting Spaces and Resources

Archibus provides several tools for reserving meeting spaces and resources.

All reservation tools support adding employees and external guests to the reservation and inviting them by email to the meeting

Regardless of the tool from which the reservation was made, the reservation reports and the Reservations Calendar Console show all reservations. Thus, a staff member can make a reservation in the self-service Workplace portal, and a manager can edit this reservation using the Reservations Calendar Console.

General Archibus user

Reserve a room from a touch panel or tablet mounted outside a meeting room. This is possible because Archibus supports creating calendar items directly on the room calendar instead of only through an invitation.

This feature uses the AbWorkplaceReservations.PanelBookingEmployeeId application parameter to determine the values to complete for the Created By, Requested By, and Requested For fields of the meeting record
