Booking Rule Enhancements - "all-day" and "specific time" Durations Lengths and Check in times
As a system administrator I want to control which spaces can be booked as 'all-day' settings and others by 'specific time'. This supports spaces with shift work, varying styles of work and bookings and large floors with a variety of team and space requirements.
Examples:
- Select some desks/spaces to be booked as "All-Day" and other to be "Specific Time"
- Custom Label specific time bookings "Morning", "Afternoon", "Evening"
- Preset start times for all day bookings differently between different desks
- Pre-Defined Time Slot Bookings "9am-12pm, 12pm-3pm"
- Limit the amount of time a user can make a booking for in a single space/day

We'd like to have the "Other" length option that is currently available for Non-Desk spaces available for desk space types. The limitation that is currently available for desk bookings of All Day, 1, 2, 3,4 hour ranges is limiting, especially if someone is working in a location that has 10 or 12 hours shifts, back to back.

Users who make partial day reservations are often missing their check-in window because it defaults to reservation start time of 8a, instead of the actual reservation start time. E.g., a Leader makes a partial-day office reservation, for 1pm to 5pm. He often misses the check-in window because it expired at 10a. This is especially difficult for leaders who travel between locations, and are needing to make their reservations in advance.

Offer option to book for more than 4 hours in hourly booking AND it goes past midnight for shift workers.

Currently, when a user creates a booking at the current time, they are checked in and the time is displayed as "Arrival". VMWare is requesting Arrival time be removed from All Day bookings.

Fields should be added to Serraview Engage reservation settings to specify a start and end time for All-Day booking. Currently, All-Day booking is from 12:00am-11:59pm. The start and end time should have the ability to be configured to suit a company's working hours in addition to the default all-day timeline. This would be leveraged in the application, email templates, and ICS. files.

As a Space Planner,
I'd like to be able to set default duration times other than 15', 30', and 1hr
So that I can better manage Engage bookings and reservations to align with our needs (full day, half day, etc.). -

We would like to limit the amount of time a space can be booked by a user in Engage. While it is great that you can adjust the booking increment (30-minutes, 1 hour, etc.), we would like to cap the total reservation allotment per day + per space + per user at, say, four hours.
In a perfect world, we would also be able to override that setting for specific users.

We would like the ability to update reservation confirmation emails to indicate reservation time based on a 12-hour clock rather than 24-hour military time.

We would like the ability to set different operating/building hours by floor, rather than by the building or campus. We have many different spaces on campus that operate independently in terms of hours, so we would like Engage users to be able to book spaces and desks in them appropriately.

This functionality would be great. I suggest there is still a global setting then the ability for 'override' settings at the building level

The Ability that allows a business to have time slots
9am-11am, 12pm-3pm, etc so users can select a desk and have the option of which time slot they wish to book.
A business should be able to configure this for group A, group B, or Morning Shift, Afternoon Shift etc.
This would allow businesses to schedule cleaning around desk usage or manage utilisation peaks of not having all staff on their floors at the one time. -
How do you envision this working? Is this more like booking rules where people in a certain team can book only on certain days?

Ability to schedule attendance by staggering the occupancy days for each group to ensure compliance.
