Apply the standard reduction rule to meeting spaces at a location

The standard reduction applies the following rules:

• If the current room capacity is 4 or less (or no capacity is defined), the capacity is set to 1.
• If the current room capacity is greater than 4 the capacity is halved.
• All new bookings enforce a 15-minute clean-down period before another booking can be made

The standard reduction rule can be applied to all meeting spaces at a location, on a specific floor, or to selected spaces only.

1. Navigate to Application Setup > Resources and select the Country.
2. Click Resource Type > Meeting spaces and select the Location. The Reduce Capacity control buttons only appear after selecting a location.
   1. To reduce the capacity of all meeting spaces at the location click Reduce capacity (name of location).
      
   2. To reduce the capacity of meeting spaces on a particular floor, select the floor and click Reduce capacity (floor name or number).
      
   3. To reduce the capacity of specific spaces, tick the meeting spaces and click Set (#) meeting spaces to “reduced capacity”.
      

3. Choose standard or custom reductions for the selected spaces:
   1. Select Standard reduction and choose whether to delete existing bookings that exceed the new capacities. Click Apply.
      
   2. Select Custom reduction and enter the capacity, setup, and clean-down times. Choose whether to delete existing bookings that exceed the new capacities. Click Apply.
      

To disable reduced capacity settings, click Restore capacity for (location / floor) or Set (#) to normal capacity, depending on the selections made. Meeting spaces with customized capacities applied, also revert to their normal capacities.
