  2. Condeco searches for another available space meeting your original search criteria. Do not adjust the date, time, or duration when adding meeting spaces. The following search criteria can be changed:
    1. Set the number of attendees the additional space must accommodate.

When adding meeting spaces to a booking, do not adjust the date, time, or duration of the booking. We do not recommend adjusting the date, time, or duration when adding another meeting space. If you adjust the time and the original meeting space added to your appointment is not available at the new time, it will reject the meeting invitation. If you need to adjust the time, remove all meeting spaces from the appointment before adjusting.

  1. The meeting space(s) are set as the location for your meeting and the room mailboxes are added to the attendee list on the Outlook event. Click Done to close the Condeco Outlook add-in.
