Room scheduling deployments continue to grow within Appspace deployments. Building on our last update, the latest update to the room scheduling card sees the addition of several customer requests for customizing room scheduling panels in the modern workplace. As was the case with previous updates, here is a list of the impressive new features you can start using, today!

 

1. Display room facilities

Administrators can now configure the room scheduling card to display facilities available to the room via the calendar provider. These facilities are then represented as icons outside the room.

2. Book ahead

Administrators can configure the room scheduling card to display room availability for the current day (24 hrs) or week (7 days). This allows future reservations to be made from a touch-enabled room panel.

With added support for event triggers and commands, the room scheduling card makes this possible through new API calls.
