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.

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.
