# Submit a booking request

> Describe what you need in PADS4 Workspace, such as date, building, and equipment, and let a manager assign a suitable room to your request.

In some configurations, you do not select a room yourself. Instead, you submit a *booking request* with your criteria. A manager reviews the request and assigns a suitable room.

## Roles

| Role | Description |
| - | - |
| **Requester** | The person who submits the request with criteria. |
| **Manager** | The person who reviews requests and assigns rooms. |

## Before you begin

Your administrator must allow you to send booking requests to your manager. See [Users](https://docs.pads4.com/modules/workspace/workspace-admin/users.md). The administrator also assigns the manager.

## Submit a request

**1. Start the request**

In your calendar, select **Reservation Request**.

**2. Enter your criteria**

Enter what you need, for example the date, the building, the equipment, and the services.

**3. Save the request**

Save the request. The request appears in yellow in your calendar.

**4. Wait for the room**

You receive an email that says your request is awaiting assignment and approval. When the manager assigns a room, you receive a confirmation.

## Assign a room to a request

If you are a manager, you receive a notification when a request is waiting.

**1. Open the request**

In PADS4 Workspace, open the pending reservation request.

**2. Accept the request**

Accept the request. A list of rooms that match the criteria opens.

**3. Select a room**

Select a room from the list.

**4. Finalize the booking**

Select **Save**. The requester receives a confirmation that a room is assigned.
