FAQ
When should I use Quick book?
Quick book is designed for simple bookings or for when you want to reserve a room and add extra information later using the booking form.
Why is Quick Book not appearing for some Groups?
Quick book can be disabled by your administrator per Group. It may be disabled because additional mandatory information is required for bookings in the Group which would not be captured by the Quick book popup.
Why does the booking form sometimes open instead of Quick book?
When a meeting space has a default setup or clean-down time configured, this may cause an overlap with another booking or the setup time may fall into the past. On these occasions, the booking form will open to provide more flexibility to adjust the booking.
