New updates and improvements to Rooms

  1. Automatic Outlook calendar events

    New Feature

    When you make a booking, Rooms will now automatically add an event for the booking to your Outlook calendar.

    This is an optional setting which you will need to switch on from the 'Settings' page.

    Entries will only be created if your email address registered in Rooms matches your Outlook address.

     

     

     

  2. Booking names and email confirmations

    New Feature
    Announcement

     

    Two new features have just been released:

    • When you now create a booking, you have the option to give the booking an optional name. This is for your reference and to allow the reception staff to search for bookings.
    • When a booking is created or cancelled, you will be sent a confirmation via email. This can be switched of from the 'Settings' page, accessed from the 'Profile' drop-down.
