You can add as many rooms as you want to an already created location to simplify the organization of face to face sessions. Furthermore you can unite subrooms on bookings or reservations to one multiple room. Note that you create subrooms first and then the superordinate room (=multiple room). The multiple room is marked in the Event date wizard and in the Gantt diagram of the utilization of locations (door icon).
Furthermore you can send room reservations to Outlook and you can book these as Outlook rooms.
Master data
Title
Enter a significant title for the room. You can’t edit the language selection, because the language of the roon depends on the original language of the location.
External reference and reference type
External references are used for organizing and for linking to other systems. This you can use for manual assignments and on using interfaces, for example: REST API. You can search for external reference in the advanced filter function.
The external reference represents a reference value like ID, serial number or name. The external reference type describes which reference it is and how to understand the reference value. This is very important, if there are different sources or types of references, which use the same reference values.
Examples:
Reference type SAP customer number with the external reference 100234
Reference type SAP user ID with the external reference 000004

On trigger Event date cancelation the task is immediately created as the event date status switches from any status to Canceled.
