With office space at a premium in our organization, our reservation managers and office hotel administrators would like the option to disable the “all‑day” reservation setting entirely—or, if that isn’t possible, to have it turned off by default.

They’ve observed that many users reserve a space for the entire day even when they only plan to use it for a portion of the day. Requiring users to select the specific hours they need would help ensure that spaces remain available to others when not in use. It would also improve the accuracy of space‑utilization metrics. All‑day reservations skew the data, especially when a space is booked for the full day but only used for a few hours.

Ideally, this setting could be configured in Space Planner at the individual hotel level, and the Indoor Viewer application would honor those settings by enabling or disabling the all‑day toggle on a per‑hotel basis.

Hello @MichaelJenkins,

We have same issue here. 

I realized it after having already posted my idea but I think in the end we are trying to solve the same issue:

By the way, I logged an enhancement request for this (ENH-000184264 ). Feel free to ask your support to attach you to it. I guess the more users are linked, the more chance it has to be implemented

I thought this existed already, but looks like it is only for meeting rooms, not office hotels. Would be nice to have for hotels, too. 

You can set the following meeting room scheduling limits:

  • Maximum number of bookings per person—Cannot book more than this number of meeting rooms at a time.
  • Maximum duration in hours per booking—Cannot book a meeting room for longer than this number of hours.
  • Maximum days in advance bookings can be made—Cannot book a meeting room more than this number of days in advance.
