Limit Bookings Across Rooms Within a Time Period
Several libraries in our consortium have multiple study rooms. They want to limit patrons to a single 'study room' booking across all of their study rooms for a given time period (e.g. Jane Doe can only book a single study room each day, but the next day she can book a room again, etc.).
Currently, they can limit bookings for an individual room, but the patron can just sign up for another room later that day (and go through them all in turn). I guess staff can monitor and delete duplicate bookings, and dedicated patrons will undoubtedly find other workarounds.

Room bookings limited to specific PTypes from ILS
We have certain PTYPES in our system like eCards which we do not want to be able to book rooms in our library system (they are primarily for accessing eMaterials). We would like some way to specify which PTypes are able to book rooms.

Email Room Person Email Field Address when Reservation is made for a room
When a patron submits a room reservation, send an email to the address in the Email Room Person Email Field notifying staff that there is a pending room booking. We could then use the branch manager or staff distribution group email in the Room Person Email Field.

Brochure date range defaulting to 6 months
Give libraries the option to set a default date range for brochure event generation. We typically have 3 months worth of events in the system at any given time. Patrons may not reprint the brochure and miss out on any new of updated items.

Brochure "Get in Touch" only shows main contact phone number
In the brochure, the "Get In Touch" section always displays the main library name and phone number. If you choose just one library location and generate the events for that location, it still gives you the general phone number. It would be great to show the phone number of the branch/branches that were filtered.

Allow flyers to be downloaded by the public
Add flyer download button on the public side of the event listing in case a patron would like to download one to display rather than going to the library to pick one up.

Turn off custom questions for staff side bookings
Staff entering multiple room bookings are required to answer custom questions for each submission. If there was a way to turn off the custom questions somehow on the staff side to make inputing multiple bookings quicker and easier for staff.

Greying out rooms which have Min Booking Lead Time
If a room has a 24 hr booking lead time, block out or grey out the room availability on the public calendar. Right now, patrons aren't notified there is a 24 hour minimum for booking a room until they have answered all the questions to book the room and press submit. This would visually show the room is not able to be booked.

Add branching to custom questions
It would be nice to have some type of custom question branching logic. One example would be a custom question like " Will you be serving refreshments? Yes/No" and if they select yes, display a second custom question like "What type of refreshments?"

Checkbox for data when testing functionality
Implement a test checkbox which prevents that event's data from being used on the stats pages. For use when testing events and logging stats and you don't want those test stats to be included in your real stats as it will skew the data.

Information in the Booking Note & Staff Name field on the add booking screen only shows if you hover over the icon in the current bookings
Information entered in the Booking Note & Staff Name field on the add booking screen only shows if you hover over the icon in the current bookings. It would be useful if that information also showed up on the exportable spreadsheet.

Series Name field converted from text field to a dropdown list for Events
If the series name field were an admin controlled dropdown list, staff could consistently select/name events as appropriate. No added keystroking and risk for creating incorrect series names. If it could be a multi-select dropdown list, it would also allow us to make an event part of more than one series when needed. Not sure how this would be handled on the public view. Maybe a quick display of matching series names with say 5 to 10 events for each series, allow the user to explore more in that series?

Updating PACREG Library Card Numbers for Room Reservations
When someone applies for a library card, the ILS provides patrons a temporary library card number beginning with "PACREG." When a patron uses this temporary number to reserve a meeting room, there is no way for staff to update the library card number attached to a reservation. It is a read only field (which is opposite in event registrations.) The ILS communication is one way, pulling name data into VP. Is it possible for the library card numbers to somehow automatically update when a permanent card number is assigned? If not, is it possible to make this field editable for…

Grace, if you can open a Support ticket with the old card and the new card, we can ask if they can manually move the registrations to the old card.
I think Jen's suggestion would also work in your case, where being able to update the barcode would re-link their bookings and registrations.

Event and Meeting Room Calendar URLs for importing in Google Calendar
Staff would like to be able to have a URL available to them where variables can be altered so events and meeting room reservations can be imported into Google Calendar. It would also aid in the use of digital reservation panels outside meeting rooms which rely on Google Calendar to display a daily list of upcoming events and reservations.

Ability to change the default location on the landing page.
Right now the location that displays first on the landing page is the one that is first in alphabetical order. For us this is a partner location that we only occasionally host events with. We would like to be able to wait the list to have our library location display first.

*Openpath Integration* Detect repeat no-show patrons and alert staff
Our library policy states that serial no-shows may have their reservation privileges revoked. We would like an automated system to notify our staff to track repeat offenders. For example, after three no-show cancellations (as per the Openpath Integration that cancels room bookings if the room is not accessed within 15 minutes), a notification would be sent to our service desk to flag the patron. This would result in staff manually assigning a new patron code that blocks them from making further automated room bookings.

*Openpath Integration* Cancel room bookings after 15 minutes if the room was not accessed at scheduled time
Automatically cancel study room bookings if the room isn't accessed within the first 15 minutes of the scheduled time. If the system detects that the door wasn't unlocked (via PIN or NFC) within this window, the reservation would be canceled, freeing up the room for others to book.

*Openpath Integration* PIN generation created after approval process for conference rooms
This workflow is exclusively for electronic locks integrated with the Vega Program. While standard study room bookings remain unaffected, for conference room reservations, we propose delaying PIN generation until after staff has confirmed the booking. All conference room requests must undergo staff review and approval, ensuring that a PIN is not immediately issued to the patron or group requesting the space.
