Set up rules that match your office policy and keep high-demand rooms under control.
Are approvals required for every booking?
Yes.
Approvals are mandatory for every booking, regardless of the room. This ensures an admin can review priorities and allocate meeting spaces fairly when demand is high.
- Request submitted: A user selects a room/time and provides the meeting purpose.
- Instant routing: The request is queued for the designated admin, with details shown in-portal and sent via email.
- One-click decision: The admin approves or declines (optional comment supported).
- If approved: The room is reserved, the schedule updates in real time, and the requester receives confirmation plus a downloadable
.ics invite for calendars.
Do you support door/wall displays?
Yes. Live displays placed outside rooms show real-time availability, current meetings, and upcoming reservations—handy for quick hallway bookings and status checks.
What about roles and permissions?
Companies get secure, isolated spaces with role-based access. Typical roles are company admin and officer, each with clear permissions for managing rooms, bookings, and reporting.
Can I make a booking on another officer’s behalf?
Yes. Use Create on behalf of to select the officer. The request is submitted under your name (Requested By) and routed for approval as normal.
Will the system remember “Other Invitees” I’ve added before?
Yes. Emails you add in Other Invitees are saved and will auto-suggest next time so you can add them in one tap.
Can I invite multiple external people?
Yes. Type an email and press Enter (or comma) to add each invitee. Add as many as needed; they’ll appear as chips.
Will external invitees receive the calendar invite?
Yes, the confirmation includes a downloadable .ics calendar invite for all invitees (internal and external).
Will admins see who the invitees are?
No. Admins focus on room allocation and schedule management. The attendee/invitee list is not shown to admins in the portal. Invitees still receive calendar updates via email (.ics), but the detailed attendee list remains private to the requester.
Which time and timezone does the New Booking form use?
The Date, Time From, and Time To fields follow your company’s timezone. Clash detection checks the selected room for overlaps before allowing submission.
Can I change the room or time after submitting?
No. Once a request is submitted, it can’t be edited (room, date, time, participants, invitees, or any other detail). If you need to make a change, please cancel the existing request/booking and create a new one. Administrators may approve/decline and may re-allocate a different room during approval, but they cannot modify your original submission.
What happens if my preferred room is unavailable?
Overlapping times are blocked. You’ll see guidance to choose the nearest available slot, or you can select another room from the drop-down.
If my booking is disapproved, do I get a calendar cancellation?
Yes. When an admin disapproves a booking, the requester (and the on-behalf officer, if any) receives an email with a cancellation .ics. Importing it removes the event from your calendar.
Do invitees get updated .ics if the room changes?
Yes. Invitees receive an updated .ics when a booking is first approved with a different room than requested, and again if the room changes later after approval.
What does “past & confirmed” mean?
A booking becomes past & confirmed once it had an allotted room and its end time has passed. These entries are locked (grey background) and can’t be changed or disapproved.
Can admins change the allotted room after the meeting ends?
No. After the end time, allotment changes are blocked to preserve an accurate audit trail of finished meetings.
Whose name appears as the organizer on the calendar invite?
The default OneClickRooms - noreply@oneclickrooms.com is used as the organizer across the portal.
Will I get in-portal notifications as well as email?
Yes. The requester (and on-behalf officer, if applicable) also receives in-portal notifications for approvals, room changes, and disapprovals (disapprovals appear with a light-red highlight).
