Offsite Event Location Handling
We have library events off site within the communities we serve but how do we add those events to the event calendar? If I set up a location, it requires an address. I could set up an individual option for the offsite location. Maybe if there was an option to select offsite location instead of a library building in the Event Location dropdown?

The best practice scenario for setting up offsite locations would be:
1. Create a location named Offsite
2. For each location, you can set up a room.So if the visit the Fire station or the Local Park every 2 weeks then you would set up a room called 'Fire Station' at the location 'Outreach'.
These 'rooms' can be set up as a template - set one up and then you can reuse it.
Note that the Google link to the location doesn't work when using rooms, the workaround is to post the Google link to that particular location in the event description. -

Delete the advanced locations in the staff login
Hi Team,
Once the event locations are closed out we don't want them to appear in the staff list. I understand the backend requirement to display the event. I guess we need to implement soft delete. So that record will be marked deleted and retained for tracking and reporting purposes in the database.
Looking forward to hear from you on this.
Thanks

To hide an event from staff, uncheck the Staff Visbility box from the Advanced > Manage Event Location page.
Belgrave Pool is hidden from staff and patrons in the top screenshot.
Belgrave Pool is not found in the location dropdown list in the bottom screenshot as an option for a staff member creating a new event.

reserve meeting rooms in advance
We would like to limit patrons from being able to book rooms more than 2 weeks in advance. I don't see a way to do this.

Hi Natasha,
Admins are able to configure this from the Room Management menu.
- Edit Room
- Booking Types
- Choose the edit icon next to a booking type, your library may have one or more
- Under Max Booking Lead Time set the field to 14 days
Your library can also set a Min Booking Lead Time if you want to give yourself time to review requests. For example, if you set this field to 24 hours, a patron would not be able to book the room today, but they could book it tomorrow.
Min and Max Booking Lead Times can also be added to Room Layouts.

Limit amount of time in room reservation
We would like to be able to limit the amount of time people use our Rooms. We have a Maker Space that uses the Room Reservation function. We would like people to be able to reserve the Maker Space for certain appointments but those options are not available. For example, we would like people to be able to make a 4:30pm appointment for 1 hour. Currently if a person wants a 1-hr appointment they can only start on the hour (4pm). It we want it to start on the half hr (4:30pm) then we lose the 1-hr function, as it…
