Features in MRBS #2789

Dear All,

after a benchmarking of room reservation systems I just wanted to ask an experienced user or someone of the developers (if possible) whether there are features available which our users ask for:

  1. privacy setting: if a booking is set as private, all the other users (despite admins maybe) should see only "booked" instead of the user, who booked or even the details of the reservation. Is that already feasible?

  2. book from "outside" via calendar apps like iCal, outlook etc. to ease the regular booking process for a stable user base?

  3. if booking is not available, can an area or a room be fed into a external calendar app to check the availability of a room?

  4. as digital signage is widely spread and sometimes rooms have no glass doors, is it possible to feed the information of a room to an external website? maybe respecting the privacy setting of a reservation (see 1.)

  5. is it possible to invite users, as there is already a setting internal or external, per e-mail?

  1. Yes. You can also force bookings to be treated as private, even if they were booked as public. Note that admins can always see details of private bookings, as tyou suggest.
  2. No. But bookings from MRBS can be imported automatically into calendar applications such as Outlook through the email notifications which are issued with .ics attachments.
  3. No.
  4. Yes, although some small modifications to the code are necessary.
  5. No.
