To **manage meeting room bookings in a shared office**, keep every booking in one table linked to room, date, time and organizer, show a calendar per room, block overlapping bookings and release rooms that are not used.

In **Jestor**, bookings are visible to everyone, and validations prevent two meetings in the same room at the same time.

## Why do meeting rooms cause conflicts?

In shared offices, rooms are booked on paper sheets, chat groups or not at all. Two teams arrive for the same room.

Rooms are blocked for meetings that are cancelled, while others cannot find space.

Client meetings start late because the room was taken.

## What problems does room booking solve?

- Double bookings
- Rooms blocked but unused
- Client meetings without a room
- No view of availability
- No data on room usage

## How do I manage room bookings in Jestor?

1. **Create a rooms table** with capacity and equipment.
2. **Create a booking form** with room, date, start, end and organizer.
3. **Block overlapping bookings** with a button validation.
4. **Show calendars** by room.
5. **Track usage** and no-shows on a dashboard.

| Room data | Purpose                   |
| --------- | ------------------------- |
| Capacity  | Right room for the group  |
| Equipment | Screen, video, whiteboard |
| Bookings  | Availability              |
| Usage     | Office planning           |

## How do I prioritize client meetings?

A field marking client meetings helps the office manager resolve conflicts in their favor.

Client meetings can also be booked further in advance.

## What else helps you manage meeting room bookings in a shared office?

- Usage data shows whether the office has too few or too many rooms, which helps when renewing a lease or redesigning space.
- Bookings can also be linked to client meetings and notes, keeping everything about the meeting in one place.
- Simple etiquette rules help too. Releasing a room when a meeting is cancelled and ending on time keeps the shared office running smoothly.
