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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

*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.

Email contact person when event registration is full
We have staff that would like to be alerted when an event has no registration spots remaining–event is full. It allows staff to determine if additional spots can be added, sometimes by a change of location or meeting space. An email alert to the event contact would be a great heads up without staff having to self monitor the registration list. (Especially with decentralized programming efforts (virtual and in-person) occurring for numerous programs a month.

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.

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.

Allow booking type changes after booking created
We use the "booking type" field for different organization types (local, non-profit) and rates. Organizations or individuals sometimes misreport their booking type and we must reject and re-enter their room booking instead of just changing the booking type.

*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.

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.

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?"

Offer option to bulk edit and delete room bookings
When locating all room bookings under the same name, offer an option to bulk delete them all, or several at a time. Currently, you have to go into each booking and delete from there. Examples of when this would be helpful would be when groups decide to cancel some or all events, need to change details, or when an error is made.
