Special cases
This section outlines advanced workspace scenarios that may involve specific configurations, approvals, or delegated access.
Modular Rooms
PADS4 Workspace supports modular meeting rooms, which are rooms that can be combined or separated using movable partitions.
If configured by administrators, users can:
- Book one of the individual rooms
- Or book the combined, larger room as a whole
This setup is common for flexible training areas or boardrooms that can be resized as needed.
Booking Approval Workflow
Some rooms may require booking approval. In this case:
- The requester books a room as usual
- The request is sent to an approver
- The reservation remains pending until it’s approved
- Upon approval, the room is officially booked and confirmed
Detailed steps are described in the Appendix: Booking Approval Workflow
Booking Request Workflow
In some configurations, users are only allowed to submit a booking request rather than select a specific room.
- The requester fills in desired criteria (e.g., date, equipment, services)
- A room manager reviews the request
- Based on the criteria, the manager assigns a suitable room and confirms the reservation
Full process explained in the Appendix: Booking Request Workflow
Delegation
PADS4 Workspace allows delegation, where one user can manage bookings on behalf of another.
This is useful for:
- Executive assistants managing calendars
- Team leads booking on behalf of their group
Once set up, the delegate can view and book through the other user’s calendar.
