Managing requests for meeting space bookings

Authorizers and approvers of managed groups see the Requests page displayed in the Meeting space menu. Authorizers and Approvers can approve, reject, and/or change all details of a requested booking.

The Requests menu item displays the number of outstanding requests awaiting approval in square brackets.

On the User Requests page, click Popup to view the page in a pop-up window.

You can filter the requests listed in the user requests table by Date, Location, Workspace type, and Status.

Booking status filter:

Good to know

• For multi-room bookings, Accept / Reject options will only appear for pending bookings. i.e. If one booking is confirmed and another is pending, the Accept / Reject button will appear for the pending booking only.
• Only requests that are pending approval are listed on the Request page.
• Self-managed rooms do not require approval and do not appear in Requests.
• If you work as part of a group administrator team, all requests are seen by all members of the team.
• Requests do not generate email notifications.
• We recommend keeping Condeco minimized and periodically checking the number of requests awaiting approval.
